Headaches and Eye Strain — When the problem is how your eyes work together

You can read the smallest line on the chart and still struggle. Eyes can be very slightly misaligned while your eyesight itself is perfect.

Small muscles correct that misalignment constantly, all day. That continuous effort is what you feel as strain.

That is why it often shows up as headaches, neck and shoulder tension, tired eyes by the afternoon, and discomfort with screens.

A contoured prism lens shifts the image slightly, so your eyes line up without doing the work themselves.

If this sounds like you, ask us to measure your alignment. It is quick and objective.
