Why SynergEyes?

Sharing the Vision™ — Contact Lenses for Keratoconus Vision Correction

If you have keratoconus, you are likely seeking a vision correction solution that addresses blurry, distorted vision in a way that is not only effective, but comfortable and convenient as well. 

At SynergEyes, we share your vision. SynergEyes hybrid contact lenses are the first FDA-cleared hybrid contact lenses specifically designed for keratoconus vision correction. These innovative contact lenses provide people with keratoconus the very best technology has to offer

Utilizing revolutionary hybrid technology, SynergEyes® has developed a family of lenses that provide patients with the all-day comfort of soft contact lenses and the excellent visual clarity of rigid gas permeable lenses. Our contact lenses for keratoconus truly offer the best of both worlds. These features and benefits are not available in any other product on the market for the treatment of keratoconus.

What Makes SynergEyes® Contact Lenses for Keratoconus Different from Other Treatments?

SynergEyes contact lenses for keratoconus are custom designed to meet your vision correction needs. We offer two different lens designs, SynergEyes® KC, and ClearKone®, to address all stages of keratoconus. Whether you have an early, moderate, or advanced stage of keratoconus, SynergEyes has a lens that will deliver clear vision and comfort for you.

People with keratoconus who wear traditional contact lenses often have to compromise vision or comfort.

Are you wearing soft contact lenses?

Soft contact lenses are comfortable but are usually unable to correct the irregularities of the keratoconic cornea. Soft lenses drape over the irregular corneal surface causing the front surface of the lens to assume the same irregular shape as the cornea. This abnormal shape is the reason for blurred and distorted vision. As keratoconus advances, soft lenses become less effective, leaving rigid gas permeable contact lenses as the only alternative for most keratoconus patients.

Do you wear rigid gas permeable lenses?

RGP lenses are made from a rigid material that does not drape over the irregularly shaped cornea, but rather, holds its shape and creates a layer of tears between the cornea and the back surface of the lens. This tear layer neutralizes the irregular shape of the cornea. Consequently, RGPs provide better vision than soft lenses.

Unfortunately, for those with keratoconus, rigid gas permeable lenses may not provide enough vision correction. This is because RGP lenses tend to gravitate toward the steepest portion of the eye, which is usually not on the visual axis, or the central point for image focus. For this reason, keratoconus patients who choose to wear RGP lenses typically experience problems with inconsistent vision. Furthermore, rigid lenses are often uncomfortable, inconvenient, allow debris to be trapped under the lens, and may dislodge during activity.

Are you wearing “piggyback” contact lenses?

Often, eyecare practitioners will “piggyback” a rigid gas permeable lens over a soft lens to provide improved comfort and increased wear time. This approach may be more successful than soft or rigid gas permeable lenses alone, but because of the complexities of handling and care, possible eye health issues due to the oxygen permeability of the lenses, and centration difficulties, success rates are marginal.

Whether you wear traditional soft or rigid contact lenses, or if you are wearing both at the same time, chances are you have experienced…

• Poor, unstable vision
• Discomfort
• Contact lens dislodge
• Decreased contact lens wearing time
• Light sensitivity and glare
• Inconvenience
• Poor eye health
