Screen Headaches?
We Find the
Root Cause.
Most headaches behind the eyes are caused by trigeminal dysphoria — a subtle misalignment that forces your brain to constantly compensate. Regular eye exams miss it. We don't.

How Neurolens Works
A simple three-step process to diagnose and treat the root cause of your headaches.
Advanced Diagnostic Exam
Our specialized binocular vision testing specifically screens for trigeminal dysphoria — measuring how your eyes work together, not just how sharp each eye sees. This 30-minute exam reveals misalignments that regular eye exams miss.
Custom Neurolens Prescription
If misalignment is detected, we design contoured prism lenses calibrated to your exact measurement. Each pair is manufactured specifically for your eyes — no two prescriptions are alike.
Relief Within Days
93% of Neurolens patients report significant symptom reduction. Most people feel improvement within the first week. Many say they forgot what it felt like to not have a headache.
