Post-LASIK contact lens launched

A hybrid contact lens designed for eyes that have suffered corneal trauma or undergone either refractive surgery or penetrating keratoplasty has been launched by SynergEyes Inc, US. The SynergEyes PS lens can also be used in eyes with degenerative corneal conditions.

The rigid gas permeable centre of the SynergEyes PS lens and the soft outer skirt combine to offer a viable solution to ghosting, haloes, blurry vision and dryness in post-surgical eyes.

SynergEyes also has FDA clearance on contact lenses for the treatment of ametropia, astigmatism, keratoconus and presbyopia.
