Thanks for pointing this out.

We actually have a discussion about Neurolens on LEDStrain: https://ledstrain.org/d/754-trigeminal-dysphoria-and-neurole...

I plan to give them a try. But unfortunately it does not work for everyone.

Have you had success with them? Many other members have convergence excess (esophoria) or vertical heterophoria.

I have exophoria and myopia I am quite comfortable at the computer all day. Before I was diagnosed with exophoria and got these, I found my own way to cope which was to wear an old pair of glasses which were a much weaker prescription in terms of diopters. Whenever at the computer I would need to switch glasses to the weaker prescription or my eyes would bother me. With Neurolens wearing the same glasses all day whether or not I’m at the computer feels perfectly fine and I have zero eye strain at the computer.

Great to hear you found a solution. I believe Neurolens is focused on treating exophoria where the prism correction required is different at near vs. distance. In most patients, the correction required at near is greater.

The Neurolens are also unfortunately very expensive and seems to not be covered by insurance. But I think most people would gladly pay out of pocket to get relief. I surely would.
