Revolutionary treatment for eye fatigue, headaches, and neck pain caused by excessive screen time and digital device use.
Digital eye strain, also known as Computer Vision Syndrome, affects millions of Americans who spend extended time using digital devices. This modern condition is characterized by visual discomfort after prolonged screen use and can manifest in various ways:
These symptoms occur because our eyes work harder when viewing digital screens. The constant focusing and refocusing creates significant strain, particularly on the trigeminal nerve – the largest nerve connected to the brain and responsible for much of the discomfort associated with digital eye strain.
At the Eyecare Center of Orange County, Dr. Bonakdar specializes in diagnosing and treating digital eye strain with the revolutionary Neurolens technology.
Neurolens is the first and only prescription lens that contains a contoured prism to bring the eyes into perfect alignment. This groundbreaking technology provides relief for the symptoms associated with the use of digital devices, reading, and other close work.
Unlike traditional glasses that only correct vision issues like nearsightedness or farsightedness, Neurolenses address a fundamental problem that affects many patients with digital eye strain: misalignment between the eyes.
Even small misalignments can cause the eyes to work overtime, leading to eye strain, headaches, neck pain, and other symptoms that impact your daily life. Neurolenses help by:
Neurolenses work by incorporating a contoured prism that brings the eyes into alignment. The amount of prism is customized for each patient and gradually increases from the top to the bottom of the lens, providing more correction where it's needed most.
Clinical studies have shown remarkable results with Neurolens technology:

If you experience headaches, eye strain, neck pain, or discomfort with digital device use, you may benefit from Neurolenses. Many patients who have these symptoms don't realize they're caused by eye misalignment. During your comprehensive eye exam, Dr. Bonakdar will use the Neurolens Measurement Device to determine if eye misalignment is contributing to your symptoms and if Neurolenses would be beneficial for you.
Yes, many migraine sufferers have found significant relief with Neurolenses. Clinical studies show that 81% of patients reported their headaches were substantially reduced or eliminated after using Neurolenses. While not all migraines are caused by eye misalignment, those that are triggered or worsened by digital device use, reading, or close work often respond well to Neurolens treatment.
Many patients report improvement within the first few days of wearing their Neurolenses, with continued improvement over the first few weeks. Some patients with more severe symptoms may take longer to experience full relief. Like any new prescription, there may be a brief adaptation period as your eyes adjust to the lenses.
Yes, Neurolenses can be incorporated into virtually any prescription, including single vision, bifocal, progressive, and readers. They can also be made without prescription correction for those who don't normally need glasses but suffer from digital eye strain symptoms. The lenses are available in various materials and can include options like anti-reflective coating, blue light protection, and photochromic (light-adaptive) features.
Most vision insurance plans cover at least a portion of Neurolenses, as they can be prescribed as your regular eyeglasses. The specialized contoured prism technology may have an additional cost that varies depending on your specific insurance plan. Our staff will help you understand your coverage options and any out-of-pocket costs before you decide on treatment.
Neurolens technology is changing lives by addressing the root cause of many digital eye strain symptoms. Experience the comfort and clarity you deserve.
