Impact of Neurolens Use on the Quality of Life in Individuals With Headaches: A Randomized Double-Masked, Cross-Over Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Vision-related disorders, such as refractive errors and binocular vision issues, can cause headaches. The current study evaluates the impact of Neurolens (NL) on individuals with headaches, assessed using the Headache Impact Test (HIT) questionnaire.

Methods

Subjects (18-60 years) with good stereoacuity and a HIT score of ≥56 points were enrolled. Each subject wore both control lens and NL for 30 ± 10 days each. The primary outcome of the study was to assess the difference in the HIT score between the two treatments.

Results

Of the subjects randomized, 88% (170/195) completed the study. Overall, subjects reported a greater improvement in HIT score improvement with NL compared with control (mean difference, -1.53 points; 95% confidence interval, -2.8 to -0.26;
