Can I wear SynergEyes® lenses
if I have astigmatism?
Yes. SynergEyes® lenses are not affected by lens rotation,
a common problem associated with soft toric lenses that can
cause inconsistent vision. SynergEyes® lens optics remain
stable, delivering consistent, clear vision – blink after blink,
even at night.

Is there an adjustment period
for getting used to my lenses?
Every patient's eyes are different. Because the design of SynergEyes® lenses
is so different from other lenses you've tried, there may be
a period of adaptation. Your eye care practitioner can explain
what the adjustment period may be for you. Most patients adapt
to their lenses in a few hours. Some patients may take longer,
but usually no more than a couple of days.

How often should I replace my
lenses?
It is recommended that you replace your lenses every six months
or more frequently as prescribed by your eye care professional.
The reason for replacing your contact lenses at the recommended
interval is to prevent build up of protein and other deposits
that could cause discomfort, dryness and less precise vision.

Can I use eye drops with my
SynergEyes® lenses?
Yes. Only use wetting
drops specifically recommended by your eye care practitioner
and designed for use with contact lenses.

Do I need to see my
eye care practitioner when my first lenses arrive?
Your eye care practitioner will evaluate the fit and performance
when your initial lenses are delivered to ensure optimum vision
and physiological response.

How do I order replacement
lenses?
Your eye care practitioner will order your replacement lenses
for you. They can be delivered to your home or to your eye
care practitioner’s office.

Do you make lenses for bifocal
wearers?

What if I have questions about
my lenses?
Questions about your lenses should be directed to your eye
care practitioner. He or she is your primary source of information
regarding your specific needs.

Can lenses slip 'behind' my
eyes and get lost?
No. The eye is contained in a natural ‘envelope’ called the
conjunctiva, a thin but strong membrane. The conjunctiva lines
the inside of your eyelids and folds back to cover the white
part of the eye. Lenses cannot pass through the membrane.

I wear rigid gas permeable
lenses. Will SynergEyes® lenses work for me?
SynergEyes® lenses enable you to keep the crisp, clear
vision you’re accustomed to while providing the comfort and
wearability of a soft lens. SynergEyes® lenses also eliminate
the problem of irritating debris that can collect under conventional
rigid lenses. You will be free of the annoyance of rigid lenses
moving when you blink or dislodging with your active lifestyle.
