Neurolens: A New Year Solution for Headaches and Eye Strain

Start 2026 with clearer vision and fewer headaches — thanks to a breakthrough solution for digital eye strain.

For many in Raleigh, screen time isn’t slowing down; it’s part of everyday life. Whether you're working on a laptop, scrolling your phone, or helping your child with online schoolwork, that constant digital exposure can cause real discomfort. Headaches, neck pain, dry eyes, and blurry vision are common signs of digital eye strain, and they’re often caused by a hidden culprit: eye misalignment.

At Olive Branch Optometry, we’re now offering Neurolens, an innovative treatment that addresses the root cause of these symptoms and restores balance to your vision. If you’ve been battling headaches and fatigue without answers, this could be the year your relief begins.

What Is Neurolens?

Neurolens® is the first and only prescription lens that includes a contoured prism, designed to correct subtle misalignments in the way your eyes work together. Even slight misalignment — which often goes undetected during a standard eye exam, can put constant stress on your visual system. Over time, this strain can cause:

  • Chronic headaches
  • Eye strain and tiredness
  • Blurry vision, especially after screen use
  • Neck and shoulder tension
  • Difficulty focusing during work or reading

Neurolens is backed by neuro-visual science, and it uses precise measurements to customize your lenses based on your unique alignment profile. The result? Greater comfort, less strain, and often, dramatic improvement in quality of life.

Why Eye Alignment Matters More Than You Think

The eyes are meant to move in perfect synchrony. But for many people, especially those spending hours on digital devices, there’s a small but significant misalignment that disrupts this balance.

Traditional glasses only correct vision; they don’t address alignment. That’s why you might still feel tension or fatigue even when your prescription seems “perfect.” Neurolens goes a step further by realigning how your eyes work together, easing the load on your trigeminal nerve (a key player in headache and facial pain).

Studies show that 93% of Neurolens wearers experience symptom relief, and many report fewer migraines and reduced eye fatigue within weeks of use.

Is Neurolens Right for You?

If you answer yes to any of these questions, you may be a candidate:

  • Do you get headaches after computer work?
  • Do your eyes feel tired or strained by the end of the day?
  • Do you experience neck or shoulder tension during screen time?
  • Do you ever feel cross-eyed, dizzy, or unfocused when reading or working?

Olive Branch Optometry in Raleigh offers Neurolens testing during your comprehensive eye exam. Our diagnostic tools can pinpoint even the most minor alignment issues — and if you’re a match for Neurolens, we’ll guide you through the next steps.
