If you’re constantly dealing with neck pain, eye strain, headaches, or fatigue, especially after screen time, you might assume it’s just stress or poor posture. But did you know your eyes could be the real cause?
At Valley Eye Care Associates, we offer Neurolens in Fort Kent, an advanced solution designed to relieve symptoms caused by eye misalignment. If you have problems with how your eyes work together, it can affect your ability to read, work at a computer, or drive.
Let’s explore how your eyes might be affecting more than just your vision and what you can do about it.
The hidden link between your eyes and physical discomfort
When the eyes aren’t aligned properly, your visual system has to work harder to focus. This constant effort can strain not just your eyes, but your entire body. When your brain struggles to combine the images from each eye into one clear picture, it can lead to:
- Tension headaches
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Blurred or double vision
- Eye fatigue or burning
- Trouble focusing or concentrating
- Dizziness or motion sensitivity
This condition is often related to binocular vision dysfunction.
What is binocular vision dysfunction?
Binocular vision dysfunction (BVD) happens when your eyes have trouble working together as a team. Even if your vision is clear in each eye individually, small misalignments can cause your brain to struggle to merge the two images into one.
Because BVD is often mistaken for other issues, such as stress, poor posture, or anxiety, it can go undiagnosed for years. Neurolens is designed specifically to help correct this misalignment and bring your visual system back into balance.
If you’ve been feeling off and don’t know why, BVD could be the reason, and Neurolens may be the solution.
What is Neurolens?
Neurolens is the first and only lens that uses a contoured prism to gently correct eye misalignment at all distances. While regular eyeglasses correct your vision, Neurolens improves how your eyes work together, reducing the strain on your visual system.
At Valley Eye Care Associates, we include a quick Neurolens measurement test as part of your comprehensive eye exam. This non-invasive test tracks how your eyes move and work together to detect even the slightest misalignment. Once we have your results, our eye doctor will discuss them with you and determine whether Neurolens is the right solution for your symptoms. If so, we’ll prescribe your customized Neurolenses to help bring you lasting relief.
Who can benefit from Neurolens?
You may be a good candidate for Neurolens if you:
- Experience chronic neck or shoulder pain without a clear cause
- Suffer from frequent headaches, especially after reading or screen use
- Feel tired or irritable after long periods of visual activity
- Notice blurred or double vision
- Have trouble staying focused when reading or using digital devices
Many patients who try Neurolens report a significant reduction in symptoms, often within just a few days of wearing their lenses. A survey showed that 93% of Neurolens wearers experienced symptom relief. Additionally, nearly 82% of those with chronic daily headaches said their symptoms were significantly reduced or nearly gone after just 90 days.
