MIGRAINE TREATMENT CENTER
When headaches and vision overlap
Not every headache starts in the eyes — but visual stress, binocular vision problems, and post-injury visual changes can make head pain and discomfort worse. We listen first, examine carefully, and explain in plain English whether an eye-related path may belong in your plan.
Headaches that bring people to an eye doctor
People often visit us when they notice:
- Migraines or headaches tied to screens, reading, or driving
- Eye strain, words that swim, or double vision
- Light sensitivity that accompanies head pain
- Headaches that linger or change after a concussion or head injury
- A sense that glasses aren’t quite right, even with a recent prescription
We’re not an emergency room, and we’re not a substitute for neurology when that’s needed. We do specialize in finding whether the visual system is part of the story, and what options to discuss next.
Migraine Treatment Center — focused care with neurolens
Our Migraine Treatment Center is for patients seeking help when migraines and visual stress overlap. The focused treatment path we emphasize is neurolens — contoured prism lenses designed to help ease binocular vision stress for selected patients.
When the eyes have a small alignment difference, the visual system can work harder to keep things single and clear, especially with screens, reading, or driving. That extra effort can go along with eye strain, headaches, neck tension, or a feeling that your glasses never feel quite right.
neurolens uses a contoured prism, which means the prism amount can differ for near and distance. After a careful evaluation, we may discuss whether a customized pair belongs in your plan.
A claim-safe way to think about neurolens
- neurolens may be discussed after a comprehensive evaluation — not prescribed from a webpage.
- The goal is to support comfort and reduce visual triggers that can contribute to symptoms for some people.
- neurolens does not cure migraine, and it is not the right path for every headache.
neurolens evaluation and fitting are available at all five offices.
Concussion care — vision-related support
After a concussion, reading, screens, balance-related visual tasks, and comfort in bright light can feel harder. Our concussion care path looks at how the visual system is functioning and what supportive options may fit.
Concussion recovery is often a team effort. Our role is to evaluate how your eyes and visual system are coping, and to discuss supportive options when they fit. We never clear a concussion, diagnose a migraine subtype, or replace emergency, primary-care, or neurology care from this website.
When binocular vision stress is part of post-concussion symptoms, neurolens may be one option we discuss — after an exam, and in coordination with the rest of your care team when that’s helpful. neurolens is available at all five offices.
If we find that a referral is the better next step — for example to neurology, primary care, or another specialist — we’ll say so plainly and help you get there.
What an evaluation feels like
- We take a careful history: headache pattern, injury timeline if there is one, screen use, and any care you’ve already had.
- We assess eye health and how your eyes work together (binocular vision), as indicated.
- We explain findings in plain English, and whether Migraine Treatment Center care, concussion-focused follow-up, a glasses update, or a referral is the better next step.
We will not diagnose or clear you from this page alone.

Questions families often ask
Do I need a migraine diagnosis before I come in?
No. Come in if headaches, eye strain, or post-injury visual changes are getting in the way. We’ll start with a careful exam and go from there.
Can neurolens replace my neurologist or migraine medication?
No. If you already have a neurology or primary-care plan, we aim to complement it, not replace it. We’ll talk with you about how an eye-related option might fit alongside the care you already have.
What if my headaches started after a concussion?
Tell us about the injury and how your symptoms have changed. We’ll look at the visual side and discuss supportive options, including whether neurolens may belong in your plan. neurolens is available at all five offices.
Which office should I book?
Start with the community that’s most convenient. neurolens is available at all five offices.
