Frequently Asked Questions About Neurolens® 

Introduction

Do persistent headaches, neck pain, or eye strain leave you searching for relief even though your vision seems clear? The culprit might be eye misalignment—a condition affecting millions that forces your eyes to work overtime just to maintain a single, clear image. At Frame & Focus Eye Care in Richmond, Texas, Dr. Sarah Zaver and her team specialize in diagnosing and treating eye misalignment with Neurolens, a revolutionary solution that combines contoured prism technology with customized prescriptions to realign your vision at all distances. Research shows that 93% of patients who use Neurolens experience significant symptom relief, with most reporting at least an 80% reduction in their discomfort. Unlike traditional lenses that only correct refractive errors for visual clarity, Neurolens addresses the root cause of misalignment-related symptoms by relieving pressure on the trigeminal nerve—the largest nerve in your brain responsible for sensation in your head and neck. Whether you have 20/20 vision or wear contact lenses, Neurolens can provide the therapeutic relief your eyes need to function comfortably and efficiently throughout the day.

Why Do You Need Neurolens?

Your eye doctor may recommend the lenses based on your symptoms. If a test measurement determines your eye misalignment, the doctor will prescribe the lenses to correct the condition. The lenses are customized to align the eyes at all distances. Contoured prisms help relieve symptoms such as eyestrain, neck pain, and headaches.

How Do Neurolenses Work?

Unlike standard lenses focusing on improving vision clarity, Neurolens adds a contoured prism that aligns the images that you see to your eyes’ natural resting position. The lenses not only help provide clear vision but can also help improve visual efficiency while relieving eyestrain.

How Often Should You Wear Neurolens?

For best results, the lenses should be worn throughout the day. If this is not possible, ensure that you wear the lenses when working, reading, or using digital devices. The longer you wear the eyeglasses, the quicker you will see positive results. Lenses can also be worn with contact lenses.

How Long Does It Take to See Results?

Most people experience results within three to seven days. Some patients take longer to adjust, seeing results in two to three weeks. The severity of your eye muscle misalignment may determine how fast you experience the desired results.

Can Neurolens Work With 20/20 Vision?

People with eye muscle misalignment can have 20/20 vision. Although clarity of vision may not be affected for these individuals, misalignment can strain the trigeminal nerve, which can then result in headaches, eyestrain, and neck and shoulder pain. Neurolenses can be used for patients who do not need a prescription to see clearly.

What If You Wear Contact Lenses?

You can wear Neurolenses with contact lenses. The specialized lenses are usually designed to combine your eyeglass prescription and the contoured prism prescription. If you want to wear contact lenses, you can get Neurolenses with only the prism prescription.

Does Insurance Cover Neurolens?

Traditional insurance plans do not contribute to the Neurolens treatment. While traditional lenses are prescribed to address visual clarity needs, Neurolens is considered a therapeutic device to improve vision functionality and efficiency. You are able to use your FSA or HSA to cover the cost of the lenses.

Are There Side Effects of Neurolens?

It can take a while to get used to Neurolens. Some patients experience slight disorientation when they begin to use the lenses. After they get used to the lenses, there are no known severe or lasting side effects. Adapting to the lenses is much like using progressive lenses.

To find out if you are a candidate for Neurolens, visit your eye doctor. The doctor will evaluate the severity and frequency of your symptoms. Next, the doctor will use a diagnostic test to measure eye misalignment. The test is completed within a few minutes before the doctor creates your customized Neurolens.
