Wore My SynergEyes Contact Lens Trials
By admin | October 28, 2008
Well, I am back from my optometrist. Some good news- the Synergeyes feel very comfortable and she will try wearing one of the Synergeyes Lenses in my bad eye ( the left) and try and regular soft toric contact lens in the right.
This may sound nuts but I think I may be one of the few people on earth that prefer the feel of a hard RGP lens to soft. I could never wear soft lenses in the past- my eyes are way too dry. I don’t think the problem of my reaction to contact lens solutions was ever solved as well. I do remember in the 90’s
using Hydrogen peroxide based system to clean and disinfect but not sure if that was for solution sensitivity.
The SynergEyes is a hard RGP center with a soft lens skirt. There are some mild concern that may not be the healthiest choice for me- the soft part not letting in enough oxygen.
It should take about a week for new lenses to come in. They come from the States and cost was 340.00 for one lenses and no clue about the monthly soft toric lens. I think it should be about 50.00 for 6 months

I’m a 40 year-old-male who was diagnosed with keratoconus at about age 20. Up until about 2007 I was wearing RGPs, but they finally became way too uncomfortable. They also popped out about once per day due to the edge lift cause by the steep cornea.
In 2007, I tried Synergeyes KC, and after a pretty long fitting trial (due to inexperience of the optomotrist and me), we found a set that worked well.
Now I have to say that I am thrilled with the Synergeyes. They are supremely comfortable — and I wear them for around 16 hours per day. They never pop out. And my vision is reasonable — it’s certainly not perfect, but good enough. I highly recommend them.

One more thing on Sysnergeyers KC: I highly recommend using CibaVision’s “Clear Care” hydrogen pereoxide disinfecting system for maximum comfort. It’s a very simple system, and once the automatic neutralization process is over, all that’s left is saline solution which doesn’t irritate your eye like the typical “multipurpose” solution can (due to the disinfecting chemicals.)
