New Hybrid Lens for Presbyopes Launches

SynergEyes Inc. recently launched Duette Progressive, a hybrid lens that the company says is designed to deliver exceptional vision at all distances for presbyopes from emerging to advanced. The lens features a dual-aspheric optic design, which includes a center-near add zone with a choice of three add powers that SynergEyes says provides greater control over visual outcomes. The lens also features an 84-Dk silicone hydrogel skirt around the 130-Dk GP center, which is made of UV-blocking materials. The Duette platform delivers all-day tear exchange and lens movement to make it an extremely comfortable and healthy lens option, according to SynergEyes.

SYNERGEYES’ DUETTE PROGRESSIVE IS FIT EMPIRICALLY.

SynergEyes also says that the lens is fit with a straightforward, empirical fitting approach that minimizes the amount of chair time required.

Parameters include base curves of 7.1mm to 8.3mm in 0.2mm steps; skirt curves of 8.7mm (flat2), 8.4mm (flat), and 8.1mm (medium); lens powers of +5.50D to –10.00D; an add zone size of 3.0mm; and add powers of +1.00D, +1.75D, and +2.50D. Call 877.733.2012 or visit www.synergeyes.com.
