If you’ve ever felt your eyes ache after a long day at the computer, struggled with frequent headaches, or noticed tension in your neck and shoulders, your eyes may be trying to tell you something. These symptoms are often caused by a misalignment between the eyes — something traditional glasses don’t correct. But now, there's a breakthrough solution that’s changing everything: Newton lenses (formerly Neurolenses).
At Gulfcoast Eye Center, we are proud to be the only optometry office in the Sarasota, FL area offering Newton lens technology. This cutting-edge lens design is transforming the way patients experience vision correction by addressing more than just clarity — it targets the underlying cause of digital eye strain and discomfort.
Previously known as Neurolenses, Newton lenses are the first and only prescription lenses that gently realign the eyes to reduce the impact of eye misalignment. They incorporate a specialized contoured prism designed to bring the eyes into alignment — helping your visual system work more comfortably, especially during prolonged near tasks like computer work, reading, or using a smartphone.
Though the name has changed, the life-changing results remain the same — and they’re now backed by Newton’s expanded vision for eye health and innovation.
One of the things patients love about Newton lenses is how simple and quick the testing process is. During your comprehensive eye exam, we’ll perform a Neurolens Measurement Test using a device called the NMD2 (Neurolens Measurement Device) — the same advanced system, now part of the Newton brand.
This device uses sophisticated eye-tracking technology to precisely measure how your eyes align at both distance and near. It detects even the smallest misalignments by monitoring how your eyes naturally move and work together — something a standard eye exam can easily miss.
The entire test is:
Non-invasive
Takes only a few minutes
Completely painless
Provides instant results
Once we review your measurements, we’ll discuss whether Newton lenses are right for you, and if so, customize a prescription that addresses your specific misalignment.
People who suffer from chronic headaches or migraines
Anyone with eye strain or visual fatigue, especially after screen time
Those who experience dry eyes, even without a clear cause
Individuals with neck and shoulder pain related to posture or eye stress
Students, professionals, or anyone who spends hours on digital devices
Even if you’ve worn glasses for years, Newton lenses could offer relief you’ve never experienced before.
We are the only Newton lens provider in the Sarasota area, making us a go-to destination for patients seeking true relief from symptoms often dismissed or misdiagnosed. Our team is highly trained in both the diagnostic technology and the lens fitting process, ensuring you receive accurate results and a lens that truly fits your needs.
We’re not just improving how you see — we’re helping you feel better every day.
