Collingwood Optometry has integrated Neurolens into its suite of patient care options, a cutting-edge lens specifically designed to mitigate common visual discomforts associated with digital eye strain.
"Neurolens is not your typical lens; it’s a life-changer for patients struggling with headache, shoulder pain, dry eye, motion sickness, and/or dizziness," Jayne Cation, owner of Collingwood Optometry, comments. Research shows that 82% of patients experience these symptoms, and Neurolens has proven to be an effective solution, offering significant relief to 93% of patients, with only a 4% return rate nationwide.
Collingwood Optometry is proud to be among the thirty clinics in Ontario offering Neurolens -- and the only one in the Georgian Triangle. In the nine months since its introduction, the clinic has witnessed transformative results. "It's helpful for most patients that are struggling but has been particularly impactful for concussion patients, significantly reducing the severity and frequency of their headaches and dizziness," Cation explains. The Neurolens device, using thousands of data points, gauges eye alignment, creating a contoured prism value that corrects ocular misalignment and thus enhances patients’ quality of life.
The 56-year-old clinic takes pride in its comprehensive range of services, including a dry eye clinic at Cwood Eyecare, advanced technology like topography, axial length measurements, pachymetry, OCT, and fundus photography. "We are committed to being doctors first, managing glaucoma and other eye diseases in-house and providing top-quality vision solutions," Cation asserts.
The landscape of ophthalmic lenses has transformed over the past decade, and Collingwood Optometry has been at the forefront of this evolution. “Prescribing glasses is so much more complicated than patients might anticipate. There are anti-fatigue lenses, office lenses and myopia control lenses that have been fantastic additions to our industry,” adds Cation. “The Neurolens is the newest and one of the most innovative of these lens technologies to come to the market.”
What is Neurolens?
Neurolens is a groundbreaking innovation in the field of optometry, offering a unique solution for patients suffering from a range of symptoms often associated with eye misalignment.
“Traditional lenses correct the focal point, allowing individuals to see clearly at different distances. Neurolens, on the other hand, corrects ocular misalignment, a condition where the eyes are not perfectly aligned, causing a variety of symptoms like shoulder pain, dry eye, motion sickness, and dizziness,” says Cation. This makes Neurolens an ideal solution for patients who have not found relief from other treatments.
“The introduction of Neurolens at Collingwood Optometry has been a game-changer for many patients. We all got into this line of work to change and enhance lives, and that is exactly what we are trying to achieve with the Neurolens,” says Cation.
The clinic's team of dedicated professionals is always ready to assist patients and answer any questions they may have about their vision or eye health. Experience the Neurolens difference and see the world through a new lens.
