The SynergEyes® Hybrid Contact Lens Story
SynergEyes®, Inc. is a 21st century company, founded by a small group of industry and eye care professionals that recognized the market need for a better hybrid contact lens that combined the superior visual acuity of a rigid lens with the comfort of a soft contact lens. The revolutionary SynergEyes® hybrid contact lens with its rigid center and soft lens skirt, allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds – a stable, high oxygen permeable rigid center that delivers consistent crisp, clear vision with the all-day comfort of a soft contact lens.
In September 2005, SynergEyes® received FDA “clearance to market” for the SynergEyes® A lens for patients with hyperopia, myopia with and without astigmatism. Over the subsequent six months, the company received market clearance for five additional lens designs – the Duette™ lens for patients demanding best-in-class vision correction, the Duette™ Multifocal lens for patients with presbyopia, the SynergEyes® KC and ClearKone® lenses for patients with keratoconus, and the SynergEyes® PS lens for patients with refractive errors following corneal surgery and trauma.
The SynergEyes® family of lenses fulfills the original goal of providing a solution that addresses all vision needs while providing excellent visual acuity and all day comfort.
The SynergEyes® Family of Lenses
SynergEyes A and Duette™
The SynergEyes® A and Duette™ lenses are perfect choices for patients with astigmatism seeking better vision and more comfort in a contact lens. With SynergEyes® hybrid lenses, the “breathable” rigid center promotes corneal health and delivers high-definition vision, even at night, while the soft skirt provides comfort and stability all day long.
SynergEyes® is free from “toric lens rotation”, a common problem associated with soft toric lenses that can produce inconsistent vision. SynergEyes® optics remain stable, delivering consistently clear vision – blink after blink.
SynergEyes® also eliminates the problem of debris that can collect under conventional rigid lenses.
Duette™ Multifocal
Around age 40, even if you’ve never needed vision correction before, chances are you’re beginning to find yourself holding books and menus at arms length. Thanks to the new revolutionary Duette™ Multifocal hybrid contact lens you can experience ageless vision near and far. You’ll never have to juggle multiple vision solutions again.
SynergEyes® KC and ClearKone®
Eyeglasses or soft contact lenses may help correct vision in the early stages of keratoconus. However as the disease advances, the cornea thins and continues to change into a cone-like shape, making it more difficult to fit with soft lenses or correct effectively with eyeglasses. Every SynergEyes® KC and ClearKone® lens is made to order to match each individual cornea. The “breathable” rigid center of the lens promotes corneal health while providing the vision you need to improve your quality of life. The soft skirt keeps the lens in place, reducing or eliminating mechanical rubbing and enhances your level of comfort, making these the perfect contact lens solution for patients with keratoconus. Unlike traditional soft or rigid lenses, the SynergEyes® KC and ClearKone® lenses deliver consistent vision and contact lens stability.
SynergEyes PS
SynergEyes® PS gives you back the vision you need to lead the life you deserve, without any interruptions.
For the patient who might have experienced:
- Refractive surgery and need additional vision correction
- Corneal trauma/Degenerative conditions
- Penetrating keratoplasty and/or Intacs® for keratoconus
The SynergEyes® PS Difference
Each SynergEyes® PS hybrid contact lens is created using patented SynergEyes hybrid technology to deliver you the most advanced optics available on the market today. No other contact lens can offer you the unique benefits of SynergEyes® PS.
The soft skirt keeps the rigid portion centered on your eye and allows a layer of tears to form between your eye and the lens, correcting for the irregularities that cause blurry vision, ghosting and halos. And the “breathable” rigid center keeps your eye healthy while providing crisp, clear vision…even at night.
