FAQs About Neurolens®

What is Neurolens®?

Do you suffer from frequent headaches, neck pain, dizziness, or eye strain—especially after spending long hours working on a computer or scrolling through your phone? You’re not alone. These symptoms often result from a condition called eye misalignment, which means that your eyes are not perfectly aligned when focusing on nearby objects, leading to a range of discomforts.

Neurolens® is a unique solution to this problem, using specialized contoured prism lenses to align your vision and bring lasting relief.

How Does Neurolens® Work?

Neurolens® uses special prism lenses that help align your eyes properly. When you focus on something up close, your eyes may not be working together as they should, which can lead to headaches, neck pain, eye strain, and other discomforts. Neurolens® gently corrects this misalignment, allowing your eyes to work better together and reducing the tension that causes these symptoms.

In fact, 93% of patients feel significant relief, making it a great solution for people dealing with discomfort from long hours on digital devices or other close-up tasks.

  • Headaches

Virtual Reality Vision Testing: The Future of Eye Exams

In our commitment to providing the most advanced care, we’ve integrated Virtual Reality (VR) vision testing into our practice. This cutting-edge technology offers a more immersive and accurate way to evaluate your vision. VR testing allows us to simulate real-world scenarios, providing deeper insights into how your eyes function in everyday environments—whether you’re reading, driving, or working on a computer.

  • Binocular vision problems that affect how well your eyes work together.
  • Depth perception issues – which can impact everything from reading to driving.
  • Peripheral vision deficits that might make it harder for you to see things outside your direct line of sight.
  • Visual reaction times, crucial for activities like sports or driving.

With VR testing, we’re able to offer more personalized, targeted care that addresses your specific needs. Combined with Neurolens® technology, we’re bringing the future of eye care to your doorstep.

I have been coming to see Dr. Poirier here for 16 years. He is excellent, and has always taken the time to not just check my vision, but to maintain my eye health. My eyes have changed with age and diabetes, but all of the wonderful staff here have kept my vision as great as ever!

Young man that did my exam was super sweet and did a great job. Everyone at practice is always nice. Dr P is always nice and informative. I am very satisfied with the care I receive.

This was my 1st visit to this office. Everyone was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. They talked me through a few issues I'd been having that most would just brush off and was super helpful in getting me what I need. I highly recommend Dr. P and his staff to get you what you need.
