Just got the Neurolens. I've worn them for a few hours, and they seem to be making things worse on a good setup. I guess I need some more time to adjust to them.
Trigeminal dysphoria and neurolens

I have used Neurolens for over a month. It's not working.
I now have strong medial rectus pain which is not getting better. I can't look at anything close without triggering this pain. A very bad situation. I don't believe that Neurolens is the cause, as I was pushing through work, but it certainly didn't prevent this serious setback in my vision.
I still believe I have BVD, but Neurolens is not my cure.

laur5446 did vision therapy work?
ryans hi. My doc wants me to neurolens and vision therapy. Is that ok?
Angetastic What's your diagnosis? Neurolens is very expensive, but the company itself offers a refund it it doesn't work; ask your doctor if they will do the same. If you get your money back, it's worth a try.
Neurolens is for convergence insufficiency / vertical heterophoria. Do you have either of those?
Vision Therapy for convergence insufficiency is effective; lookup the Convergence Insufficiency Treatment Trial (CITT).
ryans yes my diagnosis is convergence insufficiency and deficient saccadic eye movements. I can afford the neurolens, but then wouldn't that work against the vision therapy? They want me to do both. For neurolens I'd be a 1.4 BI.

Angetastic I did "orthoptic therapy" where the sole devise was prism lenses. It did not help at all in resolving my pain symptoms.
