*PRO TIP*
If you ever feel eye strain with your glasses it is best to have them professionally adjusted to improve their fit and comfort. It will help you see better too.
Neurolenses are a special type of prism glasses. Prism glasses can help with eye strain by bending light before it enters the eye so that it hits the retina at the correct focal point. This can be helpful for people with eye misalignment or movement problems.
When the eyes are not aligned correctly or not working efficiently as a team, the eye muscles have to work harder to focus and create a single image. This can lead to eye strain, headaches, and other symptoms.
Neurolens glasses are special in that they have contoured prism. This means the level or degree of prism is varied through the lens, typically increasing as you look downward and focus on a near object. This special type of prism glasses can help to reduce eye strain by relieving the stress on the eye muscles. In addition to helping with eyestrain, these glasses lenses have been shown in research to also help with light sensitivity, neck and shoulder pain, headaches and even dry eye symptoms.

I got Prism lenses last summer and it changed my life. I used to suffer from migraines neck pain with vomiting etc. Since the lenses, nothing. For the first time in my life I have not reached for my pain meds in several months.
Did you have dizziness?
I had dizziness and nausea and strain for …almost 2 decades. Then my current eye doc figured out I need a tilted pantoscopic (sp?) tilt. No migraines!!! I’ve been wearing glasses since age 12. Life changer.
I do wish glasses weren’t $200-300 though. I need adjustments, if I ordered online I’d need to pay someone to adjust them. If they will at all.
What you see matters
We hear this all the time. More than half of the population is having problems which could benefit from increased vision efficiency. These are vision problems which are not related to clarity. I am a wearer and prescriber of the Neurolens
If you don’t need your pain meds I can take them off your hands
As an Optometrist in South Alabama, I can assure you that the vast majority of my patients can't even start to afford these lenses. But the few patients I have fitted in them love them. I have three different pairs that I wear nearly all the time. The one or two pair I sometimes wear that are not Neurolens, or that have traditional prism, do leave me noticeably more tired at the end of the day. Like you, I experimented on myself and there is no doubt that they are a superior lens. The instrument itself is very expensive, which is why I waited so long to put it into my office. I don't measure every patient with eyestrain complaints, but when it's warranted, and measurements indicate it, I do like to try to fit a patient in them. Care Credit sometimes helps them with the finances.
Isn't "Care Credit" itself pretty expensive?
fees about 6%, so yes it is.@@gus473
How does this work with progressive lenses?
@zimmejoc Shouldn't be a problem, prism and refraction correction is different and can be combined normally
He keeps talking about reading....what about not being able to see far away? Also I have amblyopia and still double all of the time, so I have no depth perception. But I'm used to that, I "favor" my left eye
Thank you for this. As the CTO of Neurolens I can say we are proud of the product and the relief that so many people have experienced. It was a nice surprise when a friend sent me this link.
Looking forward to seeing this available in more places around the world some day
There are comments from wearers in this thread indicating that they’ve worn glasses with these lenses for five years. Given that length of time I’m surprised your product has achieved such limited market penetration. Why do you think this is the case?
How this works for astigmatism
How long before you recover your R&D so you could bring down the cost to the wider market or allow 3rd party to mfr them at discount?
i missed the memo what is the acronym for CTO ? I just thought you have a typo and meant GTO.
I’ve been wearing Neurolens for about two years now. These are game changing lenses. Not only do I no longer have those persistent low grade headaches, but I can actually see better. I regularly use other lenses, such as my prescription sunglasses, mostly due to the cost of the lenses. I like having a few frames options. I wear my Neurolens glasses as much as possible. At my computer, they are the only thing I use. My progressives with all of the options I like were more expensive than he said, so be warned. I priced out a new pair of Neurolens glasses and the price hasn’t seemed to have come down. But the reason I’m going to get a new pair is that my prescription has improved for the first time in decades. YMMV.
Great to hear you have found such success! Also thanks for sharing your experience with price.
Would you give a ballpark figure for price? Very intrigued with these glasses, but only if they aren't too far out of my price range. I'd appreciate it
@@brandonwolfe I just went to the eye doctor recently to have my eyes tested where they told me about Neurolens. I’d never heard of these lenses before until now… they told me my lenses would be $899 (these are for progressive lens). Previous, I worn bifocals. I was shocked! However, I’ve heard so many great things about these glasses that I’m going to try them. I was told by someone at the office that they had terrible TMJ …that they couldn’t stop grinding their teeth as well as terrible neck and jaw pain. She said “everything” went away after wearing these glasses and that she absolutely loved them and how they had changed her life!
@@lisamackay1017 NOVALABS with essilor can give you variable prism lenses within hundreths of a diopter up to 5 diopter last year. If they go up to thirty with variable prism then I want to see because thats rare
Do you wear the neurolens just when using the computer, or all day?
Been using neurolens for a couple of years now. Heavy, multiple monitor work environment; frequently changing my areas of focus; the neurolens eliminated dry eyes, headaches gone and eyes were much more relaxed. The adjustment period was odd and took about 2 weeks for me. Very pricey, but worth it to me.
Hey thanks for sharing!!!
Could neuro lens help with macular degeneration?❤
What exactly is the ballpark price?
Just curious if these work for up closeness middle vision and distance vision all woth one lens? Thanks for sharing.
@@Karlucci7 they do, they’re like a progressive lens on steroids. I have had them for almost 3 years now and despite the added expense, won’t be going back to traditional progressive lenses. I highly recommend you giving them a try.
Ever heard of Neurolenses before? Have you tried them?
New to eyeglasses? Here is my beginners guide bit.ly/BestEyeGlassesGuide
I was given these last year. I thought it was a marketing tool. I was wrong. Before small print would jump around and be unreadable. I had to squint and stare at the page. Now the image stays still and I can work without the thought that made a mistake by misreading. Thank you Dr. for telling this.
I have been wearing these for about 2 years now and love them. I do a lot of up close work, reading, etc. I made my prescription last 2 years because they are so expensive and thankfully my prescription had only a minor change in my readers. It was like you said in my first few weeks wearing these, a very noticeable change, I basically had no eye strain. I would come home from work and actually feel better. I was diagnosed with pd about 6 months after getting these. So I don’t always come home from work with a lot of energy but my eyes still do not hurt. I have great eye insurance but the last time I checked the Neuro lenses were still not covered. I hope they will be this January when I get my next eye exam. I think it’s worth the money especially if you can go a couple of years in one pair. I don’t know if the doc here would agree with that but you should take his advise on that matter.
Last year during my eye exam they suggested these lenses, but the cost is just too high imo. I am willing to spend money on glasses, and I struggle with chronic neck pain and severe migraines. The cost for me was 3x traditional lenses. That’s just too much for a potentially minimal benefit
I hope the pricing gets better over time and becomes more available, for the average Joe.
If these lenses do what they are supposed to do, wouldn't you just spend the extra money and be rid of all the nasty symptoms you struggle with? I know I would. Or maybe see this in another way. How long do you think these glasses will last? My guess is, many years. So let's say 5 years. Then the cost per month would be 800 / (5 * 12) = 13.33 dollars. Think about it, 5 years pain free for just 13.33 dollars per month, provided that they do what they claim they should do.
If I had migraines, and I used to get them so I’m serious here, I would finance the Neurolens if they worked.
Whoa. My glasses cost about $400 now. Three times makes them unaffordable. Thanks for the head’s up.
@@WildnUnruly It would be 3x the *lens* cost. If your current glasses are $400, it's possible that a significant portion of that is the frames.
PLEASE Consider wearing a REDUCED Rx for computer use. I switched to a "reading Rx" for computer screens. Because normal lenses are tuned for 20 feet. My screen is never that far away.
Amazingly, after doing this, and only wearing my full strength lenses where I needed them (Driving, Movies, etc). My eye strain went away (no more blurry road signs after work), and my near-sightedness reduced enough that I went in, and my full strength Rx reduced by 0.25 diopters.
I stayed with this setup for 8 years, 100% stable, even with 12-18 hr days in front of a computer. Eventually getting LASIK. And because I avoid "acquiring" my screen (by adjusting it's distance so I can read my screen with my eyes dilated)... 25yrs later, I still don't wear glasses. And I only experience eye strain when I am dumb enough to use my mobile phone screen too much!
I got new glasses last week with prisms and it's definitely a must have if you need them. Neurolens is not the only place that offers these, my local eye doctor had a machine that tested for Binocular Vision DIsorder which I have. I suspected something was wrong with my prescriptions the last few years because my glasses always felt a little off and I also get frequent headaches. Cost of glasses with prisms was not that much different than my last pair without them.
First time learning about these lenses and I am happy to say, my eye doctors office is on the list! Thank you for making this and your other fine and informative videos. All The Best!
I got my first pair of varifocal lenses a few months ago and looking in a regular mirror is like looking at one of those concave shaving mirrors: all the detail is enhanced to ridiculous levels and I can see all the hairs in my beard in ludicrous detail, but somehow the image I’m seeing isn’t warped or magnified… it’s really weird and just so incredibly _clear_
Thanks for sharing that! It does take some time to get used to.
Is this comparable to how people with 20/20 sees things or is this like a enhanced vision
If you get the lenses in your full prescription, I would love to see a follow-up video about your experience! I have a similar strength prescription and am transitioning from contacts to full-time glasses wearing because of dry eye, and currently things don't "look real", hahah.
I cannot afford it! !
Great review, thanks. I’ve had neurolens glasses for several years and they have made a huge difference in my headaches and eye strain. I moved overseas where I couldn’t get them and immediately had problems when I didn’t have the neurolens glasses.
They are a real scientific company with peer reviewed research backing it👍👍🙏
My wife has had these lenses for at least 5 years now. She needed such a strong prism that she had to step up gradually. That meant paying for the lenses 3 times just to get where she needed to be. They have really helped her out though. Not so much with the sensitivity to light.
Thanks for this video. Its very informative. I'm just a few hours from Medina, so my first thought was I could go to that clinic to have my eyes checked and get a NL prescription, but first I googled Neurolens providers near me and found a couple of local clinics that make NL more accessible. Now I'll check my insurance list to see if these clinics are on the list. If so, great! If not, I'll budget for it. Either way, after years and years of struggling with vision correction, I'm excited to get closer to being able to see naturally and in focus
I'm wondering if these lenses would actually make your eyes worse over time because the eyes aren't being stressed to self correct.
I think this is only risk for kids
That’s an interesting thought. I suppose I can ask some of my binocular vision docs what they think.
@@DoctorEyeHealth I would be curious about what they report? Maybe this is too new to know the answer?
I am going to check on these. Thanks
@@DoctorEyeHealththose lenses works on people, like me, with detaching retina?
Thank you for this information video! This technology sounds worth looking into.hopefully it will catch on and the price will come down accordingly.👍🏻
I have these lenses and they are great! It took a few weeks to get used to, but well worth the investment. It makes no sense why these are not covered by insurance. It’s an incredible innovation and of course threatens the status quo. Hopefully that changes in the next few years.
How much are they if you don't mind me asking?
@@AnneAlready Not sure how much the lenses themselves were, but the total cost of the glasses was around $1k. If you wear glasses all day (I do) it's well worth the extra $$.
@@brianfitzrealtydoes that include the cost of the exam as well, or just the glasses??
What was the adjustment period like ?
Amazing. These make the physical world look 3D and better if you use contacts and these to see. Having bifocal lenses, I'm happy that there is now technology to look down and have it adjust to what I need, instead of looking down to read with bifocals. Revolutionary!
Hi. Could you explain the 3D remark? I’m genuinely baffled by it - I’ve worn glasses since I was 5 (brief hiatus after LASIK) and… well, it’s the real world 3D *all the time*? 😅 Whether I’m wearing my glasses or not, things don’t look flat to me… what am I missing?
My eye doctor fitted me for these last year, and they have helped so much with having a job that I am on the computer 8 hours a day. I have fewer issues with my vision, and I am not getting eye strain/fatigue like I did before.
Doctor, do you think a lens like this could have any benefit to a patient with irregular corneal surfaces (which make pinning down a stable prescription difficult) since it's designed to correct "misalignments" in vision? Glasses are a preferable alternative to scleral contact lenses for many people but generally less helpful.
These help me with up close work as I was diagnosed with binocular vision dysfunction
My eye doctor measured me for these after I checked a box saying that I was bothered by headlights at night.
After seeing your video about bright headlights, I'm convinced now more than ever that these won't help me with night driving.
These sound great, I'd never heard of them before. I primarily wear contacts during the day but have to wear reading glasses allll the time lately and feel like they are making my eyes worse! I do have the occasional tired eye / eye strain more often too. Good news is I found 3 clinics near me who offer these so I'll be getting more info. Thank you so much, your videos are invaluable! 🙏💯
Neurolens?! This sounds really exciting! Thanks for sharing a video!
Based on this video, I did a bit more research on Neurolens. My eye exam was today and I ordered two pairs.
Thank you. I'll be looking into these. I am the Quality Manager in a Mfg shop, and I'm constantly having to look at blueprings, sometimes with small print, and Optical Comparators/Shadowgraphs that require precise alignment of a part outline to a teeny, thin, black line or radius line. I often struggle because I'm getting older and the eyes aren't as sharp anymore.
These might get me a few years of relief before I retire.
My lenses have Varilux and Crizal, which made a huge difference for me.
The first time I put on my first presciption I was floored as to how 3D everything looked. I mean, for days I kept taking them off, putting them back on to compare they the two. I mean it really looked like I was seeing everything in 3D. Mind blowing.
This is so crazy to me that so many people are talking about 3D. I have had the ability to see in 3D my whole entire life. Is this a prank site? Are there really this many people out there who only see in 2D? Wow!
I am not sure how many there are, but people can have difficulty with depth perception. I am one of those people. It’s a long story as to why I have a problem with it. For me it started as an adult. Although I think most people who have problems with it, have probably been that way all their lives or at least from a young age.
@@MR-fn7rwso depth perception changes? Thanks for explaining, I was genuinely baffled by the 3D comment, like the other viewer above, I too find the real world to be 3D 😅
Definitely going to be checking these out... the very first time I put on prescription glasses, I was stumbling down the sidewalk and tripping over myself. The glasses killed so much depth perception, everything was so 2D, even if it was clearer, it didn't feel like I was in the 3D world anymore! I've got a strong astigmatism and I've never been able to wear contacts, which I've been told are better than glasses for 3D perception. I'd definitely fork out this kind of cash to feel like I'm in the real world again!
Hi I have / astigmatism , and night driving was a nightmare , all blurry lights , I assumed everyone saw this , then 8 had my cataracts done and night driving is transformed. Distinct clear lights noblur , Trouble isnow
I can’t see close too to pluck my eyebrows
That seems kind of crazy. I've worn glasses for about 40 years and have also worn contacts. I have never in my life experienced a 2D effect other than watching a screen. It's difficult for me to imagine how glasses can turn a 3D world into a 2D world. To be clear, of course I believe you, but it just hasn't been my experience.
@@mikemccormick6128 It's not completely 2D and removing every bit of depth perception, but yes, it happens for everyone. Loss of depth perception, depending on the type of prescription and shape of the glasses and all sorts of other parameters. Glasses are a flat-ish lens extended off of the face.
You can test it for yourself. If you're wearing glasses, focus on one object and then move your head around so that your eyes are seeing that object through different parts of your glasses - you'll likely see this distortion near the edges of the lenses. You can also focus on something, and then without moving your head, move your glasses around on your face with your hands. You'll see that your glasses will "take" or "drag"the image with them a bit (not completely).
Your glasses are designed with your eye position in mind for these reasons and they do the best they can.
@@basic-decaf I'm wearing glasses right now. I'm moving my head around and can't see this distortion you are talking about. Everything looks 3D regardless of whether or not I'm wearing glasses. The only difference that I can see is clarity. I don't notice any difference in depth perception at all.
@@mikemccormick6128I didn't say it would make things look completely 2D and not 3D. Glasses remove a *level* of depth perception and that changes based on all kinds of parameters. If you're curious about the science behind it, Google is a good tool! Perhaps your prescription strength is so high that you can't see without your glasses on, to notice the differences between what's coming through your glasses and what's in your environment. Take your glasses off further and further from your face and you'll see the image being lifted away and taken with your glasses. The image will become the most 2D when your glasses are furthest away, and the most 3D when they're closest to your eyes. This is why contacts don't remove any depth perception, but glasses do.
This is super interesting! Do you think it could help somebody like me who has recently been struggling with double vision, vertigo, headache and photophobia? My problem is that I have a congenital cataract at the right eye but I wonder if an appropriate use of those glasses might not help fight the misalignment.
As someone who ran optical labs for around 30 years, Neurolens sounds like an interesting technology. I do wonder if the wear needs to move their head, rather than scan with their eyes, to keep their eyes looking through the optical center while looking through the lenses? I'm also curious as to how the experience may differ between a low or no prescription lens and a high prescription lens?
Thanks for highlighting this! 🙏🙌
My pleasure! Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment!
These are the BEST lenses and worth every penny! I have noticed a huge difference in my vision
I have thee glasses and I agree they are amazing, I have found they have reduced eye strain and increased my comfort. They are worth every penny!
Hi my son has really very high power and hence his spectacles are very heavy. Will neurolens help for these kind of vision profiles?
WOOHOO! It's in my town & takes my poor people's insurance! I'm diabetic & way overdue new glasses & eye exam, but my intuition has been telling me to hold off. Now I know why! Better eye health is on the way!
I got these two years ago and they are life changing. As stated previously they are hella expensive but I have not had a single headache from eye strain or any fatigue like I used to. In addition it's like I can suddenly see in 4k HD. I was reading small print and streets signs from distances that I haven't been able to do since my 20s. To me they were well worth the cost and I can never go back.
I’m going to get neurolenses. I had the test yesterday and it showed I had a misalignment and she had me look at the chart with my regular glasses and she had sample lenses she could lower in front to simulate the effect and it was night and day difference…my eyes instantly relaxed and the letters became super crisp. It was like going from watching something in 480 and then jumping to 8k. With 1.67 progressives it’s $1250 Canadian just for the lenses and coatings but we’ll worth it
Great video and I really appreciate the commentators this was new to me
As an optometrist, this sounds really exciting.
I've always wondered why no lens manufacturers have been able to make lenses yet with varying amounts of prism... If they can make progressive lenses with varying powers, and even usually including what they call vertical thickness reduction prisms, why the heck can't they make lenses with base in prism at the bottom of the lens for all our convergence insufficiency patients, for example? But I guess now it's possible.
Would be really interesting to try it. Personally I need 1-1.5 base in at distance, but more like 3 base in at near. 🥴🥸
The one thing I probably should have mentioned is that I am about a 4 XP at distance and a 8-12 at near (depending on the day). So I think I’m clearly a great candidate for it 😅. Perhaps I will do another video on prisms binocular vision disorders.
Yes, please
@@DoctorEyeHealthThat was going to be my question - how do these relate to BVD and does the initial scan or just the level of relief essentially confirm it without going through the usual diagnostic process? I know docs qualified to diagnose the standard way are few and far between, and the glasses inevitably take multiple $$$ versions to get completely right. Could be a game changer for, as an example, folks with ADHD but without $1000+ to spare.
Great info, and interesting! Will be checking on Neurolons. What brand and model frames are you wearing on this video?
Thanks!!
Interesting vid mate - yet again thanks 👍. Any chanc3 you have an6 ideas on frame bridge sizes ?
I have had my Neurolens glasses for almost a year now and they have completely eliminated my eye strain and eye fatigue. I was very skeptical at first and the price was very expensive but i took the chance and they have worked wonders for me! The fact I no longer have these issues is 100% worth the investment!
I got cataract surgery and while the incisions are all healed and the docs says the lenses are fine, I see light much too brightly. I am hoping there is a neurolens place near me, it may help.
I haven't heard of these lenses before, but they sound exactly like what I need!
Very interesting! I had heard of neurolenses before but I didn't know if it was a legitimate thing or something fishy. Hearing your experience with them and your opinion as a doctor is super valuable.
As someone with eye strain, I hope they become available in Germany at some point. Could be worth the money if they make you feel a ton better, especially when doing a lot of close up work.
I definitely agree with your first impression perspective of the neurolens. I just received mine last Tuesday, and when I first tried out the sample prescription during my I saw the difference immediately. After having them for a week, I haven’t gotten any headaches and the neck pain is subsiding. I partially attribute the neck pain relief to cutting a few inches off my lower back length hair.
Does the prescription have to specify neurolens parameters or can they be made by the optician filling the order?
I just got my prism glasses last week and i finally got my life back!!! I've been having headaches, balance problems, dizziness, vertigo, anxiety, neck pain, eye fatigue for a very very long time. I thought it will never get better. This changed my life. I am over the moon!!! If you have the same problem, see a neuro-optometrist and get this prescription. It is worth every penny.
Oh that makes me so happy to hear!!!
Thank you! Never heard of neurolenses.
Are these great for people who suffer from chromatic aberration and can only buy plastic due to the abbe value? Are they thick for higher prescriptions? Do they have the progressive change?
Dr. Allen, I'm several years post LASIK and now in my mid 30s I'm re-developing minor astigmatism in both eyes that makes lights really distracting. I've been refracted about 5x and no one can get the ghosting to go away. Would this product potentially help? Also, if I came to your clinic do you think you might be able to figure it out? 😅
Could this technology or type of technology be used in the replacement lenses that are implanted after cataract surgery? If so, how far into the future, do you expect?
They just released N3 - a VR measuring device that can measure misalignments down to a fraction of diopter. I'm sure viewers would be very interested in your comparison with the previous version. Thank you for doing these videos.
Hi Doctor, I'm in my trial period with neurolens after seeing your video. My main concern is how narrow the corridor is for their progressive pattern. However, I heard you mention how the clarity and 3d image effect with your neurolens was surprisingly good. I was wondering if you had experience with the clarity of zeiss lenses compared apples to apples. I'd prefer to not give that up either. Thanks!
how do you think these would help people who struggle with post-lasik symptoms like dry eye, astigmatisms, light sensitivity, etc?
Is it simply a lens that progressively gets stronger from top to bottom? Like a full-width progressive lens?
Would love to hear about a full prescription!
Yes! That will be my next adventure
I’m definitely checking it out!
Interesting. Never have heard. Thank you
I have Post Trauma Vision Syndrome and -9 prescription. I'm sure these could help but it would be great to find out how they work in high prescriptions.
Do an update video when you get the full high power prescription glasses
I really need this! After getting surgery with a buckle installed in my right eye 34 years ago, I struggle with getting the prisms I need to fix the change of position of my eye in the socket. My images tend to break from locking in as I look up and down as the prism is fixed. Game changer for me if this works.
Hope it helps!
I’ve never heard of this type of lenses but it does sound way better than what I wear. I suffer from headaches, dry eyes and neck pain as well as eye strain
Can these help with astigmatism?
Have stayed with old glass glasses but will check it out 😎
Hi Dr Allen! Thanks so much for doing this review. Did you ask any questions about Neurolenses and progressives? What is your take on how these lenses will accept those prescriptions? This is so exciting!!!
I know that neurolenses can be made in progressives/verifocals. I know the lens designs get pretty complex with not just the changing prism power and location but also the increased magnification with progressives. I imagine neurolenses would help even more with eyestrain issues related to progressives but I have no experience with them myself. Perhaps a part 2 review ? lol
I need reverse progressives! But that I won’t miss steps etc on the ground 😅
Now I want a pair! Will be looking for a clinic nearest to me this week. 😎
Will those be available in my country?
I'm going to give this a try.
Hello Doctor, Im excited to hear about this new technology, Neurolenses. I would like to hear more about it, finally I will be able to go outside 😊
Dr. Allen, I had lasik performed on my right eye to create monovision (left eye distance, right eye near). I see binocular vision referred to a lot in the description of neurolens. Can neurolens work for my monovision?
I had eye surgery for a detached retina in my right eye that required a scleral buckle. This left me with double vision, but my new glasses have prisms to correct this. The only problem I have is that I still do have double vision, but only when I look to my right. This affects about 10% of my field of vision. My optometrist said prisms do not correct side vision. I wonder if the glasses in this video would correct that, or at least further minimize my double vision. Any replies would be appreciated. Thanks!
glasses are designed for your best vision to be straight ahead. any time you look off the central area (such as to the side) you will get distortions. It is unfortunately exacerbated by your retinal problems and the existence of the prism.
there are some missing factors here such as your binocular vision parameters. Next time you see him, see if he can give you insight on vision therapy (not the bates method) and if that is appropriate for your situation.
Will do. Thank you for the information and kind advice.
I was told to get glasses that are a little weaker thani ned to encourage eye muscles to work tokeepthem strong. Would a lens that makes eye muscles work less further weaken them over time?
because of how they work, does this mean they will improve eyesight vs. contacts too?
Wow, this sounds amazing.
I recently had Vitrectomy surgery, the gas bubble is almost gone, at my 5 week follow up appointment my ophthalmologist told me that the retina reattachment resulted in a small ripple on one of the tears that has now affected my depth perception and overall focus. Would these kind of lenses help with my situation?
5 years back I had a spectacle which was so flexible that is I can easily bend the spectacle any way I need.
It was very convenient because I could use it both in water and outdoor activities as I could easily change the fit .Do you know what they are called?
Hey thanks for asking! I know of several "flexible" frame brands. Flexon is one with memory metal, but I am not 100% sure of which brand you could be referring to as I I am not sure how that would work with water/outdoor activities. Were they like sports goggles?
This sounds really interesting, 20 yrs ago I went from contacts to izon lenses...and they were like contact level vision but in glasses, so no more dry painful eyes. Plus it was clear to look anywhere in the lenses vs having to turn my head to move the center clear spot to where I was looking, ie same as you get with contacts since then the lens moves with your eye. Then that iZon company went out of business or at least stopped selling them where I could get them, and I had to go to Zeis HD lenses which again had similar, clear vision anywhere in the lens when looking around vs having to turn my head.
So is that similar to what these neurolenses do? ie anywhere in the glasses is clear to look out vs just in the center looking forward?
Just an ad…
Would these be helpful for patients with macular degeneration?
does this lens available worldwide under which brand? havent heard about this. would like to try, thinking if a person starting to have both near and farsight problem will be beneficial to use this?
I seriously want to get some of these. I’m going to see if there are any offices in my area offering these.
Pretty cool glasses. I'm always curious how my eyes would preform with stuff like this because I'm kind of the anomaly that doesn't struggle really with most of the common eye issues.
And I hope you always have great eye health!
When will Neurolens be available in Australia? I currently use Multi-Focal lenses on both of my pairs.
Thank you
Thank you Dr Allen.I never heard of Neurolenses,but iam very interested.I think it will probably take me a while to find someone that has them here.Sounds like it could help my dry eye too. Thanks again.
You focused on the benefits with close work, but is there any positive significant difference for distant vision? If you don't use multifocal lenses, is this suitable for all purpose use? Second, I have congenital nystagmus. Do you think this makes any difference for that case? Thanks.
I crushed my eye socket in a car wreck and have since developed double vision. The 'double-ness' increases as I move my eyes toward the sides and up so when fitted with a traditional prism it just moves the double vision more into my working field of vision. I was told that the muscle that controls my eye movement is dragging across the scar tissue of the socket which in turn pulls my vision further into double. I was also told the only way to correct this is to have the scar tissue ground away which sounds way to painful and invasive for me.
In the daylight my muscles are strong enough to 'trap' the two images together as long as I am looking straight ahead or reading. Driving at nighttime all the pinpoints of light just appear double to me. (every car looks as though it has it's bright lights on)
Would these lenses relieve this problem? Would Medicade cover this kind of issue? Any assistance on this would greatly be appreciated. I would truly love to be relieved of the issue.
Fortunately, although I am a very high myope (-8.0) - I have never felt eyestrain, headaches, nec ache etc. - and even though 63, I still do not need reading glasses. Also, although, high myope, I have been told that my peripheral vision is excellent.
I think that what helped is that I have always played a lot of tennis, - and so my eye muscles have been exercised with movement - rather than fixed focusing on things. I have also started doing bates eye exercises.
So I am happy with my vision and not worried that this new lens is out of my price range. Wish I had known about Bates when I was younger - I reckon I would not have had such strong prescriptions. Prefer to be more proactive with my health rather than getting a different crutch.
@DoctorEyeHealth ~ Hello! Will this solve my problem? I have astigmatism in both eyes. I can see objects, but I dislike reading letters, especially on a monitor or my phone in dark mode. When I look at the letter 'a', it appears 95% sharp, but the bottom part of 'a' looks blurred or ghost-like. If I slightly block the bottom of my pupil with my hand, I can see the letter 'a' as 95% sharp without any blur or ghost-like effect at the bottom. This happens because I am blocking the other focal point, allowing only one focal point in my eye. Do you understand what I mean? In fact, I like the idea of Neurolens, but I'm not sure if it will solve my problem. Please let me know if it's possible.
This may sound like a strange question but here goes. What does eye strain feel like? Is it pain, dryness or something completely different? I've heard of eye strain but never really thought about the symptoms. Thanks for the information you give to us.
For me, it's a combination of head/eye aches, dryness and a tired feeling in my eyes. For a long time, I thought I was just sleep deprived and suffering from migraines. Turns out it was actually my eyes fighting to see 😅
Thank you so much for explaining!@@jenniferdivine1115
Like somebody constantly blows a little bit of wind in your eyes...
For me, eyestrain is a sore feeling deep behind my eyes, it also tends to come with a mild headache and fluctuations in vision. When I get extremely tired I even see double intermittently. I think of dryness to the eyes as a separate issue, but a lot of people report the two often come together.
Pain. Dull throbbing pain.
Would these be any good for those with presbyopia and astigmatism?
I have a chalazion other than warm compress any other suggestions to get rid of it please?
very interesting. i always noticed this in regular lenses and its frustrating. i hope i can get neurolens at some point
This is great.
You will help me go from 20/50 to 20/20?
I have these I don't know what to call them on my eyeglasses which some people call saline water marks. I use my glasses for cycling. I tried using warm water and dish soap method, but the hard stain things on my glasses are still there. Do you have any tips on how to get rid of it?
