# Which Glasses Help With Headaches and Eye Strain in Titusville? Aker Eye Vision Source ยท https://akereyecenter.com/answers/headaches-eye-strain-and-screens-in-titusville **Summary:** It depends on what is behind the headache, and an eye exam is how we find out. At Aker Eye Vision Source in Titusville we offer four kinds of help for eyes that hurt by the end of the day: Avulux lenses for light sensitivity with migraine, Neurolens for eyes that work too hard to stay lined up, Sequel lenses for long days on screens, and a binocular vision test in a quick eye tracking headset that measures how your two eyes aim. We have cared for Titusville eyes since 2004, and one call to (321) 269-2021 books the right visit.

Migraine glasses are lenses that filter the light many people with migraine find hardest to bear. The pair we offer is Avulux. It is designed to filter a band of blue light and a band of amber and red light while letting the rest through, and the lens is lightly tinted so the world still looks familiar. In 2026 the FDA authorized Avulux as an over the counter lens to lessen the impact of light sensitivity for people diagnosed with episodic migraine, worn alongside their regular migraine care. How much it helps is different for each person, and we would be glad to talk it through with you. Start with [Avulux migraine glasses](https://akereyecenter.com/services/advanced-technology/avulux-migraine-glasses). ## Do blue light glasses help with migraines? Blue light glasses are sold for screen comfort, and they filter only part of the blue light from a screen. They are not made for migraine. Avulux is designed for light sensitivity in people with migraine and reaches an amber and red band that blue light glasses leave alone. If screens tire your eyes but light does not hurt, an everyday lens such as [Sequel](https://akereyecenter.com/services/advanced-technology/sequel-lenses) may be the better fit. Bring the glasses you wear now to your visit and we will look at them together. ## Can needing glasses cause headaches? It can play a part. An old prescription, or one you never had, makes your eyes work harder all day, and some people feel that as a headache by late afternoon. Headaches have many causes, and most of them are not the eyes, so we do not start from a guess. A [comprehensive eye exam](https://akereyecenter.com/services/eye-exams) checks your prescription and your eye health, and we talk about when the headaches come and what you were doing. If your eyes burn or feel gritty as well, [dry eye](https://akereyecenter.com/services/dry-eye-treatment) may be part of the picture, and we treat that too. ## What is Neurolens, and how does it work? Neurolens is a prescription glasses lens with contoured prism, which means the prism grows gradually from the top of the lens, where you look for distance, to the bottom, where you read and look at your phone. Prism shifts the picture each eye sees a little, so the eye muscles do less work to keep both eyes aimed at the same spot. It is designed for eyes that work too hard to stay lined up, and it is prescribed from a measurement we take in an eye tracking headset. People who ask us about it often mention tired eyes at the computer, headaches late in the day, or neck and shoulder tension.

Neurolens cannot be ordered online, because the lens is made to a measurement taken on the maker's device, and we have that device. You pick a frame from our optical and we order the lenses to your numbers. Call (321) 269-2021 and tell us what you have been feeling, and we will set up the right visit. If you are not sure whether Neurolens or Sequel fits your day, that is a normal question, and we go over it with you before anything is ordered. > **2004**: the year we began caring for Titusville eyes, at the same phone number.

Binocular vision means using both eyes as a team so your brain sees one clear picture with depth. Binocular vision dysfunction is the name for that teamwork taking more effort than it should, when the eyes sit slightly off and the muscles that aim them keep nudging them back in line. A slight misalignment rarely shows in a mirror, and you may still read the bottom line of the chart. We test for it with an eye tracking headset: you follow targets near and far for a few minutes while it measures how your two eyes aim, and then we go over the numbers with you in plain words. Read about the [binocular vision dysfunction test](https://akereyecenter.com/services/advanced-technology/binocular-vision-dysfunction-test). ## What are computer glasses, and do they work? Computer glasses are lenses set for the distance of a screen, which sits farther away than a book and closer than the road. For some people that alone makes a long screen day easier. Sequel lenses go a step further: an everyday prescription lens with a small amount of prism built into the lower part, where you look to read and type, designed to make close work easier on your eyes. It needs no special test and goes in with your regular prescription. Whether a computer pair, a progressive, or [Sequel lenses](https://akereyecenter.com/services/advanced-technology/sequel-lenses) fits your day is something we work out at your exam from how far away your screen sits and how many hours you spend there. ## Does insurance cover Neurolens, Sequel, or Avulux lenses? Coverage depends on your plan, and plans handle lenses in different ways. The cost of any of these lenses depends on the design, your prescription, and the frame you choose, and we go over it with you before anything is ordered. Call (321) 269-2021 with your plan name and we will check what we can before you come in. We take HSA and FSA cards, and we offer CareCredit, Cherry financing, and Afterpay if you would rather spread the cost out. Our [insurance page](https://akereyecenter.com/insurance) lists the plans we work with. ## My child gets headaches when reading. Where do we start? With a pediatric eye exam. Reading asks a child's eyes to focus up close, follow a line of print, and team up, and a child can pass a school screening and still struggle with that. The exam checks your child's prescription and eye health and how the eyes work together, and we talk with you about what we find and what, if anything, comes next. Whether the headset test has a place in your child's visit is something we go over with you. Book a [pediatric eye exam](https://akereyecenter.com/services/pediatric-eye-exams) and tell us what you have noticed. ## When is a headache an eye emergency? A sudden, severe headache, sudden double vision, or a sudden change in your sight is a reason to call us the same day, not a reason to wait for a lens fitting. Call (321) 269-2021 and tell us what is happening, and we will work you in. If it comes with weakness or trouble speaking, call 911. Headaches that have built slowly over weeks or months are what an exam and the lenses above are for.
