NeuroLens.
NeuroLens is a breakthrough lens technology that uses contoured prism to correct eye misalignment and relieve the chronic headaches, neck pain, and digital eye strain that affect millions of people — often without a known cause.
The Science
What Is
NeuroLens?
NeuroLens is a patented lens technology developed to address a condition called eye misalignment — a subtle but significant difference in where the two eyes naturally want to point. When the eyes are misaligned, the brain must constantly work to force them to converge on the same point. This effort activates the trigeminal nerve, the largest sensory nerve in the head, producing a cascade of symptoms that most people never associate with their vision.
Research published in peer-reviewed journals has found that eye misalignment is present in a significant percentage of patients with chronic headaches, neck and shoulder pain, and digital eye strain — and that correcting the misalignment with contoured prism lenses produces measurable, lasting symptom relief.
NeuroLens is not a standard prism lens. It uses a proprietary contoured prism design and a specialized measurement device to detect and correct misalignment with a precision that standard eye exams cannot achieve.
Could NeuroLens Help You?
NeuroLens may be indicated if you regularly experience any of the following:
These symptoms are commonly attributed to stress, posture, or aging — but in many cases, eye misalignment is the true underlying cause.
of NeuroLens patients in clinical studies reported a significant reduction in symptoms including headaches, eye strain, and neck pain.
The Technology
How NeuroLens
Works.
Measures Postural Misalignment
The NeuroLens measurement process uses a contoured prism test to detect even the smallest degree of eye misalignment — measurements that standard eye exams are not designed to capture. The test is quick, non-invasive, and highly precise.
Targets the Trigeminal Nerve
NeuroLens lenses are engineered to reduce the strain on the trigeminal nerve — the largest sensory nerve in the head — which is activated when the eyes are misaligned. By correcting the alignment, NeuroLens reduces the chronic trigeminal nerve stimulation that causes headaches, neck pain, and eye strain.
Contoured Prism Technology
Unlike standard prism lenses that apply a uniform correction across the entire lens, NeuroLens uses a contoured prism — meaning the prism power varies across the lens surface to match the natural way the eyes move and converge at different distances. This provides more precise correction for both near and distance viewing.
Designed for the Digital Age
NeuroLens was developed specifically in response to the epidemic of digital eye strain. The lenses are optimized for the visual demands of modern life — extended screen use, frequent distance switching, and the sustained near focus that drives trigeminal nerve overactivation.
Certified Provider
Dr. Payne Is a
Trained NeuroLens Provider.
NeuroLens providers are a select group of eye care professionals who have completed specialized training in the NeuroLens measurement protocol and contoured prism fitting process. Not every optometrist or ophthalmologist offers NeuroLens — it requires both the proprietary measurement device and the clinical expertise to interpret results and prescribe accurately.
Dr. Payne brings her NeuroVisual Medicine training together with NeuroLens certification to offer patients in the Summerlin and Las Vegas area a comprehensive approach to eye misalignment — from initial measurement through lens fitting and long-term follow-up care.
If you have been living with chronic headaches, neck pain, or digital eye strain and have not found lasting relief, a NeuroLens evaluation with Dr. Payne may be the answer you have been looking for.

Common Questions
NeuroLens
FAQ.
How is NeuroLens different from standard prism lenses?
Standard prism lenses apply a fixed prism correction uniformly across the lens. NeuroLens uses a contoured prism that varies in power across the lens surface, providing more precise correction for how the eyes actually move and converge at different distances. The measurement process is also more sophisticated, using the NeuroLens measurement device to detect misalignment that standard testing misses.
How is NeuroLens different from BVD prism lenses?
Both NeuroLens and BVD micro-prism lenses use prism to correct eye misalignment, but they are optimized for different presentations. NeuroLens is specifically designed for patients whose primary symptoms are digital eye strain, headaches, and neck pain — often driven by trigeminal nerve overactivation. BVD micro-prism lenses address a broader range of binocular vision dysfunction including dizziness, anxiety, and reading difficulties. Dr. Payne will determine which approach is most appropriate for your specific symptom profile.
How quickly will I notice results?
Clinical studies of NeuroLens show that most patients experience significant symptom relief within the first few weeks of wear. Many patients notice improvement within the first few days. The lenses work by correcting the underlying misalignment, so relief tends to be consistent rather than temporary.
Can NeuroLens be added to my existing prescription?
Yes. NeuroLens contoured prism correction is incorporated into your full prescription lens — including any correction for nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or presbyopia. You do not need a separate pair of glasses.
Is the NeuroLens measurement covered by insurance?
The NeuroLens measurement device and the specialized lenses themselves are typically not covered by standard vision insurance, as they are a premium technology. However, the underlying eye exam may be covered. Our team will help you understand your benefits and financing options before your appointment.
