Headache Relief

How Misaligned Eyes Affect You

Many people experience headaches, tired eyes, or neck tension without realizing their eyes may be part of the problem. In fact, studies suggest that more than 90% of people have some degree of eye misalignment when focusing on objects up close.

Today, we spend more time than ever looking at phones, computers, and tablets. This constant near work can increase digital eye strain, forcing your eye muscles to work harder to keep both eyes focused together. When this happens, your visual system can become fatigued, which may lead to headaches, eye discomfort, or tension in the neck and shoulders.

If these symptoms sound familiar, you may benefit from learning more about Neurolens.

Think Neurolenses might be right for you? Take our quiz to find out.

Neurolenses are contoured prism lenses that work to bring the eyes into proper alignment while providing clarity of vision. If you do not require vision correction, the contoured prism can still be worn to lessen the stress on your trigeminal nerve.

About Neurolens

Many people live with headaches, tired eyes, or neck tension without realizing their eyes may be working harder than they should. Neurolens is designed to address one common cause of these symptoms, small alignment issues between the eyes that become more noticeable during long periods of near work.

A Different Approach to Vision Comfort

Neurolens lenses do more than correct vision. They are designed to help your eyes work together more naturally. Using a specialized contoured prism built into the lenses, Neurolens gently guides the eyes into better alignment while you focus on tasks like reading, working on a computer, or using your phone.

Relief From Digital Eye Strain

Phones, tablets, and computers all require your eyes to focus up close for extended periods. For many people, this leads to digital eye strain, which may cause symptoms such as headaches, tired eyes, blurred vision, or discomfort during or after screen time.

Neurolenses help reduce the extra effort your eyes make to stay aligned, which can make daily screen use more comfortable.

Personalized to Your Eyes

Neurolens technology is customized to each patient. During your exam, we perform a specialized measurement that evaluates how your eyes align at both near and far distances. If a misalignment is detected, Neurolenses can be prescribed to help correct it and improve overall comfort.

Flexible for Different Vision Needs

Neurolenses can be made in several types of eyewear, including prescription glasses, computer glasses, or lenses for people who do not typically need vision correction. This flexibility allows more patients to benefit from improved eye alignment and relief from digital eye strain.

Avulux® Lenses for Migraine and Light Sensitivity

For many people living with migraines, bright lights, screens, glare, and certain wavelengths of light can trigger or worsen symptoms. Avulux lenses are specially designed to help manage light sensitivity by filtering harmful blue, amber, and red light while allowing soothing green light to pass through.

Unlike traditional tinted or blue light lenses, Avulux uses precision light-filtering technology developed specifically for people with migraine and photophobia. Clinical studies have shown these lenses may help reduce light-triggered discomfort while maintaining more natural colour perception for everyday activities like screen use, office work, and driving during daylight conditions.

Our team can help determine whether Avulux lenses may be a beneficial option as part of your headache and light sensitivity management plan.
