Farsighted (hyperopia)

Farsightedness or hyperopia is a common vision problem affecting roughly a fourth of the population. People who are farsighted can see distant objects very well, but have difficulty seeing objects that are up close. Patients with farsightedness must exert extra focusing to see at all distances without correction and work harder to see when reading or looking at near distance targets. Contact lenses are not widely used for patients with farsightedness because rigid lenses have been historically harder to fit and traditional soft lenses have not provided adequate oxygen due to the thickness of the center of the farsighted lenses. Eyeglasses for farsightedness are also thick in the center and magnify the eye. Refractive surgery for farsightedness may reduce or eliminate your need for vision correction temporarily and may fall short over time.

The rigid optics of the SynergEyes® A lens combined with the high oxygen transmission and ease of fitting opens a whole new world of vision correction for patients who struggle with the limitation of eyeglasses and contact lenses for farsightedness. The crisp clear vision provided by the SynergEyes® A lens can provide freedom from dependency on eyeglasses to relieve the eye strain, headaches and blurred vision that comes with the need to exert extra focusing with farsightedness.

If you are farsighted and want better eye health and comfort than you have with traditional soft contact lenses or want freedom from eyeglasses, ask your eye care practitioner about SynergEyes® A lenses.
