If your eyes feel tired, strained, or dry after a long day on screens, you’re not alone—and you’re not imagining it. Digital eye strain is one of the most common complaints optometrists hear today, and the culprit may be something called visual misalignment. That’s where Neurolens® comes in. Available at My Optometrist Calgary, Neurolens® lenses use contoured prism technology to correct misalignment and relieve strain, headaches, and neck tension. Whether you're back at work, school, or managing screen time at home, it's the perfect time to explore this innovative solution. Contact My Optometrist Calgary today to see if Neurolens® could help you feel more comfortable every day.
Eye Strain Isn’t Just From Screens—It’s Often Misalignment
You’ve tried blue-light glasses. You’ve adjusted your monitor. Maybe you’ve even cut back on screen time—but your eyes still feel tired. That dull headache creeps in by midday, and your neck and shoulders are tense before dinner. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
What many people don’t realize is that these symptoms aren’t always about screen exposure—they’re often about how your eyes work together. When your eyes struggle to maintain alignment, especially at near or mid-range distances (like screens), your entire visual system goes into overdrive.
That constant strain can lead to fatigue, discomfort, and even pain. Understanding the cause is the first step toward real relief.
What Is Neurolens® and How Does It Work?
Neurolens® is a prescription lens technology that uses contoured prism correction to relieve pressure caused by visual misalignment. Unlike standard lenses, which only correct refractive error (like nearsightedness), Neurolens® also improves how your eyes work together—especially at near and intermediate distances (i.e., screens).
Patients who wear Neurolens® often report:
- Reduced eye strain and fatigue
- Fewer or less intense headaches
- Less neck and shoulder tension
- Improved focus when reading or working
It’s not just about clarity; it’s about comfort. And once your eyes stop overworking, the rest of your body tends to feel better too.
Do You Have Neurolens® Symptoms?
You might benefit from Neurolens® if you:
- Frequently rub your eyes or squint at your screen
- Experience tension headaches, especially behind your eyes or forehead
- Have neck or shoulder pain after a day at the desk
- Feel your vision "shifting" when switching focus between distances
- Get irritated, blurry, or watery eyes during reading or work
If any of these sound familiar, a Neurolens® evaluation could be your next best step. The test is non-invasive, quick, and can be done as part of your regular eye exam.
Why Fall Is the Right Time to Try It
As school and work schedules ramp up, your daily screen exposure likely just increased—again. It’s the perfect time to re-evaluate your comfort and productivity. Whether you're in class, in meetings, or just managing a busy life online, Neurolens® offers a long-term solution that goes beyond blue-light filters and artificial tears.
