Tired Eyes? Headaches?Find Relief in Lake Worth
If you deal with frequent headaches, eye strain, light sensitivity, or neck and shoulder tension, you're not alone, and it’s not just in your head. These symptoms are common, particularly among individuals who spend long hours on screens or under artificial lighting. At Planet Vision Eyecare, we take a symptom-first approach to visual discomfort, offering non-invasive, high-tech solutions designed to reduce strain and help you feel more like yourself again.
Is This You? Common Symptoms to Watch For
You may have perfect vision on paper, but still feel like your eyes and head are working overtime just to get through the day. These are the most common symptoms of visual misalignment or light sensitivity that we see:
Headaches & Neck Pain
- Daily headaches around the temples or behind the eyes.
- Migraines that worsen with visual activity.
- Neck and shoulder stiffness from leaning forward or adjusting posture.
- Pain that intensifies with screen time or long drives.
Light Sensitivity (Photophobia)
- Sensitivity to indoor lighting or bright screens.
- Discomfort when moving between light and dark environments.
- Light triggering headaches or migraines.
- Avoiding fluorescent or LED lighting when possible.
Eye Strain & Fatigue
- Tired, burning, or heavy eyes by the end of the day.
- Trouble focusing on near work or screens.
- Needing frequent breaks during reading or digital tasks.
- Squinting or rubbing your eyes often.
Visual Misalignment & Light Sensitivity Explained
Many patients experience real, disruptive symptoms that aren’t caused by blurry vision, but by how their eyes and brain work together. The issue is called binocular misalignment, which occurs when your eyes are slightly out of sync, forcing your visual system to work harder to maintain focus. Even a tiny misalignment can lead to symptoms.
In other cases, the problem isn’t alignment—it’s light. Some people are neurologically sensitive to certain wavelengths of light, particularly those emitted by LED screens, overhead fluorescent lights, and even sunlight. This can trigger visual fatigue, discomfort, or migraines in visually demanding environments.
Neurolens®: Relief for Eye Misalignment
If your symptoms stem from eye misalignment, Neurolens® may be the solution. This innovative lens technology uses a specialized contoured prism to help align your eyes, relieving the constant tension placed on your visual system.
Unlike standard lenses, Neurolens® is customized based on real-time measurements from the Neurolens Measurement Device (NMD2)—a quick, non-invasive test performed right here at Planet Vision Eyecare. This test tracks how your eyes work together at different distances and helps us design lenses that reduce strain where your eyes need support.
Avulux® for Light Sensitivity
Do bright lights, digital screens, or even daylight trigger discomfort, headaches, or migraines? Light sensitivity may be playing a bigger role than you realize. That’s where Avulux® lenses come in.
Avulux® is the world’s first clinically proven lens designed for people with photophobia and light-triggered migraines. These lenses use patented precision light filtering technology to block specific wavelengths of light known to activate pain pathways in the brain.
Unlike blue light blockers, Avulux® targets the exact spectrum of light that causes neurological symptoms.
Neurological Vision Care at Planet Vision Eyecare
When it comes to visual discomfort, many patients are left with few answers, or worse, they’re told everything “looks normal.” Our approach combines cutting-edge technology with specialty training to evaluate the neurological and optical factors that can cause eye strain, headaches, and light sensitivity.
