If you suffer from dry, irritated eyes, you’ve probably tried everything—artificial tears, warm compresses, and maybe even prescription eye drops. But what if the root cause of your discomfort isn’t just your tear production? Many people don’t realize that eye misalignment could be contributing to their dry eye symptoms. At Omaha Primary EyeCare, we offer an innovative eyewear solution called Neurolens. By addressing eye misalignment and digital eye strain, Neurolens also helps in alleviating dry eye symptoms.
What is Neurolens?
Neurolens is a special type of prescription lens designed to correct eye misalignment and relieve symptoms like eye strain, headaches, and yes, dry eye. These lenses reduce the stress on your eye muscles, helping your eyes work together more comfortably.
How does eye misalignment cause dry eye?
When your eyes aren’t perfectly aligned, your brain and eye muscles have to work harder to compensate. This extra effort can lead to digital eye strain, which can cause headaches, dry eyes, eye fatigue, and neck and shoulder pain. In some cases, the strain on your nerves can also reduce tear production, worsening dry eye symptoms.
Can Neurolens help with dry eyes?
For some people, yes! If your dry eye symptoms are linked to eye misalignment, Neurolens can help reduce the strain on your visual system and improve tear function. Many patients who experience both dry eye and eye strain report noticeable relief after wearing Neurolens.
That said, dry eye is a complex condition with many causes. While Neurolens can be helpful for those with eye misalignment, other treatments—such as artificial tears, warm compresses, or in-office therapies like IPL therapy—may still be needed for the best results.
