Neurolens in Plaquemine & Baton Rouge, LA

Tired of headaches and eye strain? We can help! 

People today spend a significant amount of time on their devices. While this technology has its benefits, it also comes with some unintended consequences. Many of us suffer from headaches, neck and shoulder pain, eye strain, and fatigue due to prolonged use of digital screens. This discomfort is more than just a temporary inconvenience; it could be a sign of binocular vision dysfunction, a condition caused by a slight eye misalignment.  

At Southern Eye Centers, we’re proud to offer Neurolens in Plaquemine and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to correct eye misalignment, alleviating discomfort and the strain on your eyes. 

What is binocular vision dysfunction?

Binocular vision dysfunction (BVD) happens when your eyes have trouble working together as a team. Even a small misalignment between your eyes can cause your brain and eye muscles to work overtime to produce a clear, single image. Over time, this extra effort can lead to uncomfortable symptoms like headaches, blurry vision, dizziness, neck and shoulder pain, and dry eyes. Many people may not realize BVD is causing their symptoms, and standard eye exams may not always detect eye misalignments.

What is Neurolens? 

Neurolens is the first and only prescription lens that uses a contoured prism to correct eye misalignment—something traditional prescription lenses can’t do. While regular glasses focus light onto the retina to sharpen vision, Neurolens glasses go a step further. They incorporate advanced prism technology directly into the lenses to gently train the eye muscles, helping pull the eyes into proper alignment. By addressing the root cause of symptoms like headaches, eye strain, and neck and shoulder pain, Neurolens lenses can make a life-changing difference for many patients. 

The Neurolens measurement test 

Before prescribing Neurolenses, our eye doctor conducts a Neurolens measurement test during your comprehensive eye exam. This quick and painless test allows us to determine the exact degree of misalignment at both near and far distances. If an eye misalignment is detected, we can prescribe the ideal contoured prism, customized to your specific misalignment. 

Neurolens lenses can be added to prescription or non-prescription lenses. Non-prescription glasses are a good option for patients who don’t need vision correction but still suffer from the effects of eye misalignment.
