Nearsighted (myopia)

Patients with nearsightedness cannot see far away without vision correction. The most widely prescribed contact lenses used to correct nearsightedness are soft contact lenses. Soft lenses have clinically demonstrated a lower level of visual acuity than that provided by rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses or of eyeglasses. Soft contact lenses may offer patients more comfort than an RGP lens, but often compromise the ability to read street signs easily at a distance. This compromise in vision is noticed more under low levels of illumination, such as driving at night.

The rigid center of the SynergEyes® A lens combined with the soft outer edge "skirt" provides clear, crisp, consistent vision along with all day comfort. The irregularities of the front surface of the eye that occur with nearsightedness are often transferred to the front surface of a soft lens. Now these irregularities are neutralized by the tear film between the eye and the rigid center of the SynergEyes® A lens giving you clear, crisp vision.

If you are nearsighted and want crisp, clear vision, ask your eye care practitioner about the SynergEyes® A lens.
