Neurolens in Chicago, IL
Headaches, eye strain, neck pain, and tired eyes are common for people who spend long days on screens, in traffic, or reading up close.
At Big City Optical, our eye doctors can evaluate whether subtle eye misalignment may be adding stress to your visual system. If Neurolens is right for you, these customized lenses may help your eyes work together more comfortably.

What Is Neurolens?
Neurolens is an advanced lens technology designed to help correct subtle eye alignment problems.
When your eyes are not working together comfortably, your eye muscles and brain may have to work harder to keep your vision clear. Over time, that extra effort may contribute to headaches, eye strain, neck discomfort, and fatigue.
Neurolens uses personalized contoured prism lenses to reduce visual stress and help your eyes work together more comfortably throughout the day.
Neurolens: When Headaches May Be Connected to Your Eyes
Not every headache starts in the eyes. But if your symptoms appear after screen time, reading, driving, or other close-up tasks, your vision could be part of the problem. A Neurolens evaluation may be worth considering if you experience:
- Frequent headaches after computer work
- Eye strain or tired eyes
- Neck or shoulder discomfort
- Light sensitivity
- Motion sickness
- Difficulty staying comfortable while reading
- Fatigue at the end of the workday


How Neurolens Works
Every person’s eyes are different. While many people have clear vision with standard glasses, some have a small eye alignment issue that causes their visual system to work harder than it should.
Neurolens uses a precise measurement to identify the alignment issue. If our eye doctors determine you are a candidate, your lenses are custom-made with contoured prism technology that gradually changes from distance to near vision. This helps your eyes work together more comfortably during everyday tasks.
The result for many patients is less visual strain throughout the day.
What to Expect During Your Neurolens Evaluation
Your visit begins with a comprehensive eye exam to understand both your vision and your eye health.
If your symptoms suggest eye misalignment may be contributing to your discomfort, our eye doctors will perform a Neurolens evaluation using advanced measuring technology.
Your visit may include:
- A comprehensive eye exam
- A discussion about your symptoms and daily visual habits
- Precise Neurolens measurements
- A review of your results
- Personalized recommendations based on your needs
If Neurolens is the right solution for you, your lenses will be customized specifically for your prescription and visual measurements.
