If you’re dealing with frequent headaches that don’t seem to go away, you might be surprised to learn the problem could start with your eyes. Many people don’t realize that even a slight eye misalignment can force your eyes to work harder to maintain clear and single vision. This constant strain can lead to frequent headaches, often around the temples or behind the eyes, as well as eye strain and fatigue, neck and shoulder pain, and blurred vision.
This condition is known as binocular vision dysfunction (BVD). It happens when your eyes struggle to work together as a team. And while your vision might seem “fine” during a regular eye exam, subtle misalignment can go undetected without the right testing.

You don’t have to live with chronic discomfort
If you’ve tried everything, from adjusting your posture to switching pillows, and you’re still battling headaches or neck pain, it’s time to consider a different solution. If BVD is causing your symptoms, only Neurolens can help you find the relief you need. Neurolens can be added to any pair of prescription or non-prescription eyeglasses. This means they are a good option for patients who don’t require vision correction but still need treatment for eye misalignments.
