Eyes Harvest Hills offers Neurolens assessments in Edmonton. We measure how your eyes work together and determine whether customized contoured prism lenses may support more comfortable vision.
Neurolens glasses may help reduce visual discomfort when eye misalignment contributes to your symptoms. If headaches, eye strain, neck tension or motion sickness become more noticeable during screen use, reading or other visually demanding tasks, your eyes may be working harder than they need to.
Neurolens is a customized eyeglass lens that uses contoured prism technology. The prism is designed around measurements of how your eyes work together at different viewing distances. It can combine the vision correction you need in a single pair of glasses.
Standard prescription lenses correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. Neurolens adds customized prism to address an eye-position difference that may place extra demand on the visual system.
Small differences in eye position can require the visual system to work harder to maintain clear, single vision. This additional effort may become more noticeable when you spend long periods reading, working at a computer or switching between near and distance tasks.
Symptoms that may be associated with visual strain include:
These symptoms can have many possible contributing factors. A comprehensive assessment helps your optometrist evaluate your vision, eye health and eye coordination before recommending Neurolens or another form of care.
Neurolens may be worth exploring when visually demanding activities regularly trigger discomfort. An assessment may be helpful if you experience recurring symptoms while:
Symptoms alone cannot determine whether Neurolens is appropriate. Your optometrist will use your examination findings and Neurolens measurements to recommend an option suited to your needs.
The Neurolens measurement evaluates the difference between where your eyes naturally rest and where they need to be for comfortable vision. The process provides your optometrist with measurements used to calculate a personalized contoured prism prescription.
The measurement itself is just one part of your assessment. Your optometrist will also consider your symptoms, prescription, eye health and visual demands before making a recommendation.
Your appointment is designed to determine whether your symptoms may have a visual component. The process may include:
Symptom discussion:
We ask when your discomfort occurs, which activities make it more noticeable and how it affects your day.
Vision and eye health assessment:
We evaluate your prescription and look for other factors that may contribute to your symptoms.
Eye coordination testing:
We assess how your eyes focus and work together.
Neurolens measurement:
We collect the information needed to determine your Neurolens value.
Personalized recommendation:
We explain the findings and discuss whether Neurolens, another lens option or further care is appropriate.
The Eyes Harvest Hills team looks beyond a standard glasses prescription when patients describe persistent visual discomfort. Our optometrists consider eye health, focusing ability, eye coordination, lifestyle and screen habits when evaluating your symptoms.
Eyes Harvest Hills combines personalized measurement with comprehensive optometric care. Patients choose our clinic for:
What is Neurolens used for?
Neurolens is designed to address eye misalignment that may contribute to headaches, eye strain, neck tension, motion sickness and other forms of visual discomfort. An optometric assessment is needed to determine whether these lenses are appropriate for your symptoms.
How is Neurolens different from regular glasses?
Neurolens combines your vision prescription with customized contoured prism. Regular glasses primarily correct refractive errors, while Neurolens also accounts for measurements of how your eyes work together.
Can Neurolens be added to my prescription?
Neurolens can be produced in several prescription lens designs. Your optometrist will determine which options are compatible with your prescription, visual needs and assessment results.
Can Neurolens help with headaches from screen use?
Neurolens may help when eye misalignment is a contributing factor to headaches or visual discomfort during screen use. Headaches can have many sources, so the first step is an assessment rather than assuming they are caused by your eyes.
How long does it take to adjust to Neurolens glasses?
Adjustment time varies from person to person. Your optometrist will provide wearing instructions and recommend follow-up based on your prescription and experience.
Does Insurance cover Neurolens?
Coverage depends on your individual vision-care plan. Contact your insurance provider to confirm whether any portion of the lenses, frame or examination may be eligible for reimbursement.
