The SynergEyes® A Lens
Now, most patients with astigmatism can enjoy clear vision from a contact lens without worrying about 'toric lens rotation', a common problem associated with soft toric lenses. Many patients wearing soft toric lenses for astigmatism experience fluctuating vision due to the lens rotation, especially at the end of the day.

The SynergEyes A lens was designed to provide crisp, reliable vision with optics that remain stable, delivering consistently clear vision - blink after blink. The rigidity of the center material provides an astigmatic correction by using your natural tear layer behind the lens to correct your astigmatism. Your eye care professional will be able to tell if SynergEyes lenses are right for your specific prescription.

Thanks to new technology and materials with SynergEyes A hybrid contact lenses, you can enjoy crisp, clear vision as never before. That's because the SynergEyes A lens combines two types of contact lens materials - a rigid gas permeable center and a soft hydrophilic (water loving) outer skirt.

The rigid center provides high oxygen transmission for healthy eyes and great optics for clear sharp vision - even at night. And the soft skirt surrounding the center gives you the all-day comfort of a soft lens.

Now there’s a hybrid contact lens specifically developed for patients with keratoconus – SynergEyes® KC. The SynergEyes KC lens provides enhanced comfort and wearability and is expected to be a primary contact lens solution for patients with keratoconus. Every lens is custom made to provide the best lens to cornea ‘match’ for optimized vision. The highly oxygen permeable rigid center of the SynergEyes KC lens promotes corneal health and optimizes vision while the soft outer skirt holds the lens in place better than a rigid lens and provides desired comfort throughout the day.

The best eye care practitioners go to great lengths to try any type of lens and combinations of lenses for highly irregular keratoconus eyes. Rigid lenses have been the method of choice for challenging keratoconic eyes. Practitioners also use “Piggy-back” systems comprised of a soft lens applied first and a rigid lens applied over the soft lens.

SynergEyes KC lenses offer good lens centration and freedom from lenses dislodging and debris under the lens that often occurs with rigid lenses. SynergEyes lenses also offer simplicity when compared to piggy-back systems.

Ultimately many patients with keratoconus consider surgery to allow them to obtain better vision. The surgical options include Intacts for Keratoconus or a corneal transplant (penetrating keratoplasty).

The SynergEyes KC lens may be an excellent alternative if your keratoconus has progressed to the point that you and your eye care professional are considering surgery. Your eye care professional will be able to tell if the SynergEyes KC lens is right for your specific prescription.
