Do you find yourself battling frequent headaches or experiencing blurry vision after a long day on digital devices? With the rise of screen time in both our personal and professional lives, more people than ever are reporting discomfort linked to prolonged visual tasks. At Blink Eyecare and Eyewear, we help patients understand what’s behind their visual discomfort and offer advanced solutions, including Neurolens®, to help you find relief.
 

What Is Eye Strain?

Eye strain, also known as asthenopia, is a condition that occurs when your eyes become tired from intense or prolonged use. This is increasingly common in today’s digital world, where we spend hours each day focusing on screens. Common triggers of eye strain include extended screen time on computers, smartphones, or tablets, as well as long-distance driving, reading without adequate breaks, or working in poor lighting conditions.
 

When your eyes are overworked, they can become fatigued, leading to a range of uncomfortable symptoms. These may include headaches, blurry vision, dry or irritated eyes, neck and shoulder tension, and even difficulty concentrating.
 

While these symptoms may be temporary and come and go, they can become persistent if the underlying causes aren’t addressed. Over time, ongoing eye strain can significantly interfere with your productivity, comfort, and overall quality of life.
 

Is Eye Misalignment the Missing Link?

Not all eye strain is caused by screen exposure alone. In many cases, a small misalignment in how your eyes work together can amplify symptoms. This condition can force your visual system to work overtime just to keep things in focus. This subtle misalignment may be the culprit behind your persistent discomfort, even if your vision seems fine otherwise.
 

How Neurolens Can Help

At Blink Eyecare and Eyewear, we offer Neurolens®, a revolutionary lens technology designed to correct eye misalignment and reduce strain on your visual system. Neurolenses use contoured prism technology to bring your eyes into alignment - relieving the pressure that causes headaches, blurry vision, and fatigue. In clinical studies, 93% of patients with symptoms like headaches and eye strain found relief with Neurolens.
 

We begin with a precise diagnostic scan using the Neurolens Measurement Device to identify any misalignment in your eyes. From there, we customize your lenses based on your individual needs, providing clear, comfortable vision whether you're working at a desk or scrolling through your phone.
