Eyewear Advice · Sequel Lenses

Sequel and Neurolens come from the same company—but they solve different levels of need.

Sequel is positioned as an everyday lens for modern visual demands. Neurolens is a customized therapeutic lens intended for symptoms associated with eye misalignment. The names are related; the technologies are not the same.

The Essential Difference

Everyday support versus individualized therapeutic prism.

Sequel uses Convergence Boost technology across a portfolio of everyday lenses. It is designed to account for the sustained near and intermediate work common in screen-centered life.

Neurolens uses Contoured Prism technology that is customized from an individual binocular-vision measurement. Its purpose is more therapeutic, particularly when symptoms may be associated with eye misalignment.

At a Glance

How the two lens families differ.

Sequel technology

Convergence Boost technology incorporated into everyday single-vision, anti-fatigue, and progressive lens designs.

Neurolens technology

Customized Contoured Prism technology prescribed from an individual assessment of how the eyes work together.

Sequel use case

Modern near and screen demands, routine visual fatigue, and everyday prescription needs across different ages.

Neurolens use case

Symptoms such as headaches, neck discomfort, motion sensitivity, or eye strain that warrant a deeper binocular-vision evaluation.

Symptoms Guide the Evaluation

A product name should not diagnose the problem.

End-of-day tired eyes after sustained screen work are different from frequent headaches, motion sensitivity, double vision, or significant neck discomfort. Those patterns can overlap, but they do not automatically need the same solution.

A comprehensive history, accurate refraction, eye-health assessment, and binocular-vision testing help separate ordinary working-distance problems from symptoms that merit a more individualized treatment approach.

A Useful Rule

Sequel is not a less-expensive version of Neurolens.

It is a different lens family with a different technology and purpose. Choose between them based on the patient's visual demands and clinical findings—not by treating one as an upgrade or downgrade of the other.

Sequel vs. Neurolens FAQ

Technology, symptoms, and progressive options.

Are Sequel lenses the same as Neurolens?

No. Sequel and Neurolens are made by the same company, but they use different technologies and selection processes. Sequel is an everyday lens family; Neurolens is a customized therapeutic lens using Contoured Prism technology.

Does Sequel contain Neurolens Contoured Prism?

No. Sequel uses Convergence Boost technology. Neurolens uses a customized Contoured Prism prescription based on an individual binocular-vision assessment.

Which is better for digital eye strain?

That depends on the symptoms and their cause. Sequel may suit everyday visual fatigue and screen demands. More significant headaches, neck discomfort, motion sensitivity, or binocular-vision symptoms may justify a Neurolens evaluation or another clinical approach.

Can either lens be made as a progressive?

Yes. Both lens families include progressive options, but their technology, customization, and clinical purpose differ.
