Relieving Eyestrain With Neurolens®

Eyestrain is a relatively common condition that results from the eyes getting tired due to intense use. The condition can result from lack of sleep, extreme fatigue, prolonged driving, or prolonged computer use. 

 

An increase in computer use has led to a rise in eyestrain among people of all ages. Many people are developing digital eyestrain or computer vision syndrome. If you are experiencing eyestrain, you can find relief in the advanced neurolens® technology.

 

Symptoms of Eyestrain

Several symptoms can indicate that you suffer from eyestrain. The symptoms include headaches, neck pain, tired eyes, dry eye, light sensitivity, and blurry vision. The symptoms usually come on after activities that cause strain. 

 

The pain or discomfort can be mild or severe depending on the individual. For many people, the pain goes away when the activity causing the strain ceases. Looking at your computer screen for long hours can trigger symptoms. 

 

Neurolens Technology

Neurolens is a form of corrective eyewear designed to address both eye misalignment and digital eyestrain. When eyes are not perfectly synchronized, it causes the trigeminal nerve to overcompensate to achieve focus. 

 

This results in a constant strain; combined with lengthy screen time, it can result in symptoms of eyestrain. Neurolens prescription lenses use contoured prisms that help compensate for the misalignment. This helps alleviate the strain and associated symptoms.

 

Neurolens Prescription Lenses

The special prescription lenses are worn just like regular glasses. They are fitted into frames, and they look just like conventional glasses. The special glasses can be worn even by people who have 20/20 vision. 

 

If you wear glasses, the lenses can be specially designed to cater to your regular prescription. Specialists recommend that neurolens glasses be worn at all times, especially when using digital devices or reading.

 

Adjusting to the Lenses

Most people adjust to wearing neurolens glasses within a few days, but it can take up to three weeks for some. Wearing the lenses does not cause long-lasting side effects. It is, however, possible to experience some mild discomfort before you fully adjust to the glasses. 

Some users compare the feeling to the effect of trying to adjust to progressive lenses. Over 90 percent of neurolens wearers report experiencing relief after using the special lenses. 

 

Who Needs Neurolens?

If you experience symptoms of eyestrain, especially from using your computer, you should consider getting neurolens. The eye doctor will carry out an eye exam to determine the degree of misalignment. The doctor will measure near and far-distance vision to find out if misalignment is responsible for the symptoms. The doctor will then recommend the best treatment option after carrying out the eye exam. 

 

If resting your eyes frequently and addressing glare and lighting issues has failed to reduce eyestrain, visit an eye specialist. It is important to get a proper diagnosis to determine the cause of the symptoms you may be experiencing. Neurolens is an effective treatment option that can offer relief for digital eyestrain.
