When we spend hours each day on screens – phones, tablets, computers – our eyes work harder than ever. If you’ve ever felt sore behind your eyes, noticed increasing tension in your neck and shoulders, or relied a bit too heavily on your headache meds just to get through the workday, the issue may not be your screen time itself – it might be how your eyes align while using them.
At Drs. Favede & Associates, we offer a solution you won’t find just anywhere in the area: Neurolenses – a custom lens technology designed to correct subtle eye misalignments that often go unnoticed during standard eye exams. For many patients, it’s the missing link between functional vision and all-day comfort.
What Is Eye Misalignment – and Why Does It Matter?
Most people think of vision problems in terms of how clearly they see. But vision also depends on how well the eyes work together. Even a small difference in eye alignment – especially when focusing up close – can cause the muscles around your eyes and head to overcompensate.
That extra effort triggers symptoms like:
- Persistent headaches (especially at the temples or behind the eyes)
- Sore or tired eyes, particularly after screen time
- Neck and shoulder tension
- Dizziness or light sensitivity
- Trouble staying focused while reading
This kind of eye misalignment is called binocular vision dysfunction. It’s more common than most people realize – and Neurolens is one of the few technologies designed to correct it.
How Do Neurolenses Work?
Neurolenses are customized prism lenses that gently realign the way light enters your eyes, correcting for that subtle misalignment. This technology is more advanced than standard eyeglass prescriptions, because it doesn’t just fix how you see – it improves how your eyes work together.
Each lens is tailored using precise measurements from a test called the Neurolens Measurement Device. It calculates the degree of eye misalignment at different distances – near, intermediate, and far – so the lens can offer correction exactly where it’s needed most. This is particularly helpful for people who experience symptoms primarily during close-up work, like reading or computer use.
Who Should Consider Neurolens?
Neurolenses can benefit a wide range of patients – but they’re especially helpful for those who:
- Work long hours on digital screens
- Experience frequent, unexplained headaches
- Struggle with neck pain or shoulder tightness without a clear cause
- Have tried multiple prescriptions but still feel uncomfortable after reading or computer use
- Get dizzy or disoriented in visually busy environments
If you’ve ever left an eye exam thinking, “But everything still feels off,” you’re not alone. Neurolens is designed for those hard-to-explain symptoms that fall outside the scope of standard vision correction. It’s not just about seeing clearly – it’s about feeling better.
