Eye misalignment occurs when your eyes aren’t working together as they should, causing one eye to turn slightly inward, outward, upward, or downward. While some cases are easily noticeable, many people experience subtle misalignments that go undiagnosed for years - leading to uncomfortable symptoms that affect daily life.
When the eyes are even slightly misaligned, the brain has to work harder to merge two separate images into one. This condition is known as Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD). Even a small deviation can create significant strain on your visual system, especially when reading, driving, or using digital devices for long periods.
BVD often presents with symptoms that may not seem directly related to the eyes, making it difficult for individuals to recognize the underlying cause. Common symptoms include:
Frequent headaches or migraines
Eye strain or fatigue, particularly after screen use
Double vision or blurry vision
Difficulty focusing or reading
Dizziness, balance problems, or motion sickness
Neck and shoulder tension from constant visual effort
At Design Vision Optical, we use advanced diagnostic technology to detect even the smallest misalignments between your eyes. One of the most effective treatments we offer is Neurolens®, a revolutionary lens design created to correct misalignment and relieve the discomfort caused by BVD.
Neurolens incorporates a contoured prism that realigns your eyes to reduce strain on the visual system. Patients often report noticeable improvements such as fewer headaches, reduced eye fatigue, better focus, and overall enhanced comfort—especially when using computers or digital devices.
Treatment begins with a comprehensive eye exam and Neurolens measurement, which evaluates how your eyes work together. Based on the results, customized Neurolenses are prescribed to correct the misalignment and restore visual balance. Over time, this helps retrain your visual system, reducing symptoms and improving overall quality of life.
Living with eye misalignment can cause daily discomfort, fatigue, and even impact your focus and productivity. By restoring proper alignment, Neurolens helps you experience clearer, more comfortable vision and a noticeable reduction in headaches, dizziness, and strain.
