I could not be happier with the vision correction prospects for my eyes! This just in...SynergEyes recently announced it's new SynergEyes Multifocal Hybrid Contact Lenses!

Did I mention I couldn't be happier? I've been experiencing a slight decline in up-close vision--though only with my contact lenses on (my contacts are to correct near-sightedness)--when they're off, I'm fine--go figure. And truthfully, I had that "oh, it'll never happen to me" thing going on. I used to tease a really good friend of mine about how he couldn't read my email text when it was too small. Well, pot's calling the kettle black now. And I'm not a good candidate for Lasik surgery. So where does this leave me?

My Ophthalmologist recommended wearing one contact lens in, one out. Yeah, that does wonders for peripheral vision. Then he suggested bifocal contact lenses--with the cautionary note that "not everyone can do it though". Vanity's gotten the better of me. I like myself in glasses--but don't want to be beholden to them.

So this news about SynergEyes Multifocal Hybrid Contact Lenses has me very excited. Here's what SynergEyes has to say about SynergEyes Multifocal Hybrid Contact Lenses:

 "The SynergEyes® Multifocal hybrid contact lens directs vision through two distinct areas of focus, one for your distance prescription and one for your near prescription.

Nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism are corrected by the distance power, while the crisp optics of the close-up power provides simultaneous computer and reading vision. The up-close clarity of the SynergEyes® Multifocal hybrid contact lens does not interfere with your distance vision, so you can now enjoy “simultaneous vision.”

Simultaneous vision works by allowing light rays from near, midrange, and distance to enter the pupil at the same time. The brain must learn to select the image it wants and filter out the images from other distances. Your visual clarity is often not achieved until the lenses have been worn for one or two weeks, and the brain has learned to adjust.

Once your brain adjusts to the simultaneous vision provided by the contact lens, your eye will be able to quickly focus back and forth from near to far. Whether reading, driving, shopping, or using a computer, you can once again pursue your passions without the limitations of poor vision."

There's hope for me yet!
