Relief for Headaches, Eye Strain, Neck Pain, and Screen Fatigue

​

Do you struggle with frequent headaches, tired eyes, neck tension, dizziness, motion sickness, or eye strain after reading or using screens? Your symptoms may be related to a subtle eye alignment problem.

Even small misalignments can make your eyes work harder to stay focused and comfortable. Over time, that extra effort may contribute to headaches, eye strain, neck discomfort, and visual fatigue.

At Bauer Eye Care, we offer Neurolens technology for patients in Colorado Springs, South Colorado Springs, Fountain, Security-Widefield, Fort Carson, and nearby communities who may be experiencing symptoms related to eye misalignment.

What Is Neurolens?

Neurolens is a specialized lens technology designed to help the eyes work better together. Neurolenses use contoured prism technology, which can help reduce the effort your eyes need to stay aligned while looking at distance, intermediate, and near tasks.

​

Symptoms That May Be Related to Eye Misalignment

You may be a candidate for a Neurolens evaluation if you experience:

• Frequent headaches

• Eye strain

• Tired eyes

• Neck or shoulder tension

• Dizziness

• Motion sickness

• Light sensitivity

• Difficulty with screens

• Trouble focusing while reading

• Symptoms that get worse at the end of the day

​

Why Screens Can Make Symptoms Worse

Phones, computers, tablets, and near work require your eyes to focus and coordinate for long periods of time. If your eyes are not working comfortably together, screen time can make symptoms more noticeable.

This is why some patients feel worse after:

• Computer work

• Reading

• Driving

• Looking between distance and near

• Long workdays

• Phone or tablet use

​

How Neurolens Testing Works

During your exam, our team evaluates your symptoms, your prescription, your binocular vision, and how your eyes work together. If Neurolens may be appropriate, specialized measurements can help determine whether contoured prism lenses may support more comfortable vision. 

​

Neurolens vs. Regular Glasses

Regular glasses correct your prescription for nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or reading vision.

Neurolens can include your regular prescription, but it also adds contoured prism technology to help with eye alignment and visual comfort.

​

This may be helpful for patients who see clearly but still experience:

• Headaches

• Eye fatigue

• Neck tension

• Screen discomfort

• Motion sickness

• Dizziness or visual discomfort

• ​

Is Neurolens Right for Everyone?

No. Neurolens is not for every patient, and not every headache or neck pain problem is caused by the eyes.

That is why a proper eye exam and evaluation are important. At Bauer Eye Care, we look at your symptoms, prescription, eye health, focusing system, and eye coordination before making recommendations.

If your symptoms may be related to eye alignment, we can discuss whether Neurolens may be a good option for you.

FAQ Section

Can Neurolens help with headaches?

Neurolens may help patients whose headaches are related to subtle eye misalignment or visual strain. Not all headaches are caused by the eyes, so an evaluation is important.

Can I have eye misalignment even if I see 20/20?

Yes. Eye alignment affects how your eyes work together, not only how clearly you see on an eye chart.

Is Neurolens only for people who use computers?

No. Screen time can make symptoms worse, but Neurolens may also be helpful for patients who experience headaches, motion sickness, dizziness, neck tension, or eye strain with other daily activities.

Does Neurolens replace regular glasses?

Neurolens can include your regular glasses prescription while also adding contoured prism technology. Your doctor will recommend the best option based on your exam and symptoms.

Who should schedule a Neurolens evaluation?

Consider scheduling if you have frequent headaches, tired eyes, neck or shoulder tension, dizziness, motion sickness, or eye strain that gets worse with reading, computer work, or long visual tasks.
