Neurolens
According to a recent report published by the Workplace Health and Safety Commission, the typical American spends at least seven hours a day in front of a computer screen. Another statistic states that 65 percent of the American workforce complains of symptoms consistent with digital eye strain. When you add other types of screens, such as smartphones, the time spent on digital devices jumps to nine hours daily.
The problem has become so severe that the optometry industry created a special pair of glasses for those with Computer Vision Syndrome, another name for digital eye strain. If you struggle with eye strain, consider that Neurolens in New Albany, MS, may be the solution you have been seeking.

Introducing Neurolens
Neurolens is the brand name of prescription eyeglasses with a contoured prism that realigns your eyes. You do not feel anything while wearing Neurolens glasses, and the prism relieves pressure placed on the trigeminal nerves in your eyes. You will notice greater eye comfort when using the computer and completing close-up tasks like reading a newspaper.
Neurolens is the only prescription glasses available in the optometry market that realigns the eyes from various distances. Regardless of the distance from the computer screen or other object you are looking at; your specialty glasses take all the pressure off the trigeminal nerve.
What and where is the trigeminal nerve?
The trigeminal nerve is the largest and most complex nerve that connects to the brain. This nerve allows you to move your head and neck in response to visual stimuli. When you have misaligned eyes, it puts pressure on the trigeminal nerve and results in issues like headaches and eye strain.
How to Obtain a Pair of Neurolens Glasses
Dr. Weeden uses a measuring diagnostic tool to determine if your eyes are misaligned and the severity of the misalignment. If he detects a problem, he prescribes Neurolens with the specialized prism added to it.
Most people who spend a lot of time using computers, smartphones, and other digital devices, are good candidates to wear a pair of Neurolens in New Albany MS. Please contact Weeden Eye Clinic to request an appointment if you are struggling with Computer Vision Syndrome.
