HEADACHES & EYE STRAIN
BLUE LIGHT PROTECTION
BLUE LIGHT PROTECTION
Blue light filters have become increasingly popular in recent years due to digital eye strain. They work by filtering out blue light from reaching the eye. By limiting the amount of light stimulating the eyes, this results in less eye strain.
Not all blue lights are considered bad. For example, there are blue lights that help regulate circadian rhythm, mood, and brain function. High quality blue light lenses will filter out the artificial blue light from digital devices and allow natural healthy blue light to pass through, whereas lower quality blue light lenses tend to block both good and bad blue light.
At Eye Theory, we offer the highest quality blue light lenses to help with digital eye strain.
COMPUTER GLASSES
COMPUTER GLASSES
Computer glasses, also known as anti-fatigue lenses, are a great option to combat digital eye strain. When we look at objects up closely, our eyes work to create power to focus. In today’s digital era, many people are spending multiple hours at a time on digital devices which can lead to eye fatigue and strain. Computer glasses work by providing the power needed to focus so that your eyes can relax.
NEUROLENS
NEUROLENS
Headaches and eye strain can often be caused by misalignment of the eyes. When your eyes are not working together, it puts extra strain on the brain to fuse the images together. This in turn can lead to overstimulation of the trigeminal nerve and result in symptoms such as headaches, eye strain, dry eyes, light sensitivity, neck and shoulder pain, and motion sickness.
The Neurolens is a revolutionary lens technology that utilizes contoured prisms to align the focus between the eyes. By correcting the misalignment, the Neurolens can drastically reduce or eliminate symptoms associated with overstimulation of the nervous system. The Neurolens is currently offered at Eye Theory Midtown.
