SYNERGEYES LAUNCHES INDIVIDUALLY DESIGNED HYBRID FOR SINGLE VISION AND PRESBYOPIA

SynergEyes recently launched SynergEyes ID hybrid lenses. A breakthrough in contact lens design, SynergEyes ID hybrid lenses are individually designed to each patient’s unique ocular anatomy utilizing keratometric readings, horizontal visible iris diameter (HVID), and refraction to personalize precise lens parameters, according to the company. The multifocal lens is powered by a proprietary extended depth of focus (EDOF) design from the Brien Holden Vision Institute.

SynergEyes says that the SynergEyes ID hybrid provides the exceptional clarity of a GP lens and that the silicone hydrogel skirt follows the linear shape of the sclera. The empirical design offers a streamlined fit and a high rate of first-lens dispense, patient preference and satisfaction, and revenue retention.

Parameters of the SynergEyes ID Hybrid include base curves from 7.10mm to 8.30mm in 0.01mm increments, skirts from 38 to 49 in increments of 1 step to accommodate HVID range of 10.0mm to 13.0mm (HVID outside of these measurements will default to 10mm or 13mm), single-vision powers of +10.00D to –15.00D (+8.00D to –8.00D in 0.25D steps; +8.50D to +10.00D in 0.50D steps; –8.50D to –15.00D in 0.50D steps), and multifocal powers of +5.50D to –10.00D (+5.50D to –8.00D in 0.25D steps; –8.50D to –10.00D in 0.50D steps) in add powers of Low, Medium, and High.
