SynergEyes, Inc., of Carlsbad, CA,
recently launched a revolutionary hybrid contact lens designed for people
who need further vision correction after undergoing refractive vision
surgery. SynergEyes(R) PS (post-surgical) is also designed for people who
have experienced some type of corneal trauma or suffer from certain
degenerative vision conditions.
SynergEyes(R) PS hybrid contact lenses combine two materials -- a rigid
gas permeable center with a soft lens outer skirt. The "hybrid" design
bonds a "hard" and "soft" contact lens together resulting in a
one-of-a-kind vision correction option that provides crisp, clear vision
for surgically altered corneas in a comfortable, healthy contact lens.
Every year, millions of people undergo LASIK or other types of vision
correction surgery to restore vision and eliminate the need for glasses or
contact lenses. For many people the surgery is safe and effective, with few
(reportedly 3%) experiencing post-operative conditions like blurry vision
and/or difficulty driving at night.
Because vision correction surgery permanently alters the shape of the
eye, traditional contact lenses and glasses often cannot provide the
additional vision correction needed. This is why SynergEyes has developed a
revolutionary contact lens designed specifically to address the technical
challenges of restoring vision to these patients offering them consistent,
predictable vision, even at night.
"The SynergEyes(R) PS lens has proven to be a safe, effective and
comfortable lens for the restoration of post-surgical vision loss," says
Dr. Edward Boshnick, OD of Miami, Fl. "It has quickly become my first
choice lens for the treatment of post-surgical patients who have
experienced loss of quality vision and who are now seeing clearly and
comfortably with the SynergEyes(R) PS lens."
Until being fit with SynergEyes(R) PS, Gabriel Meneses, a patient of
Dr. Boshnick, had been struggling daily with post-LASIK side effects like
blurry vision, ghosting and migraines after having the surgery six years
ago. His vision could not be adequately corrected with eyeglasses or other
contact lenses. "Dr. Boshnick gave me the opportunity to be one of the
first to try the new SynergEyes(R) PS lens... all I can say is what a
difference! As for vision quality, this lens has definitely offered me the
best I've experienced so far."
Incorporating patented HyperBond(TM) technology and HydrolEyes(TM)
surface science, the SynergEyes contact lenses with FDA market clearance
include SynergEyes(R) A for naturally occurring ametropia, targeting
patients with astigmatism, current gas permeable lens wearers, and patients
demanding optimized vision; the SynergEyes(R) KC for keratoconus; the
SynergEyes(R) Multifocal lens for presbyopia; and the SynergEyes(R) PS for
post-surgery and post trauma refractive errors.
