But first, we’re going to give you a rundown about Neurolens lenses; what they are, who can benefit from them, the steps to take to get them, and what to expect.
Let’s get into it!
What Are Neurolens Lenses?
Neurolens is a treatment clinically proven to optimize clarity and comfort for individuals with misaligned eyes. Neurolenses are specially designed to reduce the pressure on your trigeminal nerve (which provides motor and sensory information for your head and face) and bring your eyes into alignment using “contoured prism” technology.
The most significant difference between Neuorlens lenses and standard lenses is that the contoured prism in the Neuorlens makes it a therapeutic lens.
So, why does Nicola carry them?
Well, short answer: to help our community!
Remember how we said that 80% of patients experience symptoms that could be relieved with Neurolens? That’s a lot of people we can help with these cutting-edge lenses!
We’re always looking for innovative and new ways to provide you with the best vision and comfort. Neurolens checks those boxes and more.

Step-by-Step: Getting Neurolens Lenses at Nicola
We always want to create a welcoming environment and an easy process for you whenever you visit our eye care clinic. Getting tested for Neurolens lenses isn’t any different!
Wondering how we test whether you’re a candidate? With the Neurolens Measurement Device (NMD). A virtual headset creates an immersive, engaging patient experience that educates while measuring.
This is the typical path for anyone who wants to be tested for Neurolenses:
- Book an Eye Exam: Easy peasy!
- Pretest: During your symptom and lifestyle review, we’ll conduct the Neurolens testing with the Neurolens Measurement Device (NMD). It only takes two minutes to complete, so it’s super quick.
- Continue Your Eye Exam: We’ll continue with the routine tests to ensure your eyes are healthy and your glasses prescription is current.
- Results: You’ll get ‘em right here while you’re in the clinic. They’ll inform your eye doctor if you’re a candidate. If you qualify, your doctor will let you know all about the benefits of Neurolens.
- Order Your Neurolenses: We’ll place your order and schedule a phone consultation with your optometrist for 4 weeks after you pick up your new glasses.
- Receiving Your Lenses: When you come in to pick up your new Neurolens lenses, a team member will go over what to expect and the adjustment period, which can vary for each person.
That’s it, that’s all!
The process is quick, non-invasive, and high-tech—just how we like it.
What to Expect with Neurolens
Well, let’s start with this stat: 93% of patients who have worn Neurolenses said they experienced symptom relief within months.
If that doesn’t get you excited, we don’t know what will!
Now, here’s even better news… You can expect an adjustment period of up to 2 weeks and relief in as early as 4 weeks.
When you pick up your Neurolens lenses, we recommend starting to wear them the following morning to ensure that your eyes are well-rested. Typically, we’ll tell you to try to wear them consistently throughout the day, but follow the optometrist’s instructions when you pick up your lenses.
Neurolens patients typically experience:
- An initial distortion when looking in the peripheral part of your lens
- An initial distortion or warpage when looking through the bottom of your lens at the floor
- A feeling of altered depth perception
Because Neurolens adjusts images to match your eyes’ natural alignment, it may make objects appear farther or closer than they are.
This symptom and the three above are completely normal as you adjust to your new lenses.
Of course, everyone is different. If you experience any difficulty adapting to your Neurolens lenses or if symptoms worsen, reach out to the team at Nicola Eye Care, and we will promptly troubleshoot the lenses with you.
Testimonials
Below are two incredible reviews from Neurolens patients.
“I’m on my computer a lot, and I would get headaches and insane tension in my shoulders. I had come in for an appointment, and my optometrist had asked, “Do you get headaches? Are these some of the symptoms that you have?” And yes, once I started wearing these, they’ve disappeared. It’s perfect if you’re in a situation where you’re getting headaches every single day, and you don’t want to take medicine every single day. So now I don’t even have to think about that.”
“I had lived for years seeing double, not being able to walk down the sidewalk without staggering all over. And I just really was at my wits’ end, and I was [thinking] I can’t live like this. And about that time is when I was suggested that maybe Neurolens would work for me and would help me to be able to bring my eyes to work together. So, I put the glasses on and drove to the corner and back, and it was a great feeling.”
