SynergEyes Hybrid Multifocal Contact Lens for Presbyopes
SynergEyes is making its second-generation multifocal hybrid contact lens, the Duette Multifocal, available nationwide. The lens is the first silicone hydrogel hybrid contact lens specifically designed for patients with presbyopia.

Approved for marketing by the Food and Drug Administration, the Duette Multifocal lens features a simultaneous vision design that provides true binocular vision at all distances, the company says. The lens also incorporates MultiPro2 Technology, which utilizes a near center aspheric Add Zone in combination with a distance asphere to provide real progressive visual correction. The lens features a high modulus RGP center with a Dk of 130 and a low modulus silicone hydrogel skirt with a Dk of 84. Hybrid technology provides excellent centration and stability to deliver full binocular vision that is not affected by lens movement, making it an ideal contact lens for any presbyopic patient.

The lens also utilizes an optimized lacrimal layer to decrease aberrations and enhance optical performance while also correcting corneal astigmatism, making it one of the only contact lens options for presbyopes with astigmatism. For information, visit synergeyes.com.
