SynergEyes Contacts in Murfreesboro: A Fix for Hard-to-Fit Eyes

If you've been told you're "hard to fit" for contacts, you've probably given up on ever wearing them comfortably. Before you write off contacts for good, ask your optometrist in Murfreesboro about SynergEyes contacts.

What Makes SynergEyes Different?

Most contact lenses fall into one of two camps: soft lenses that are comfortable but not always precise, or rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses that are sharp but take getting used to. SynergEyes contact lenses are hybrid lenses, built with a rigid gas permeable center for crisp, stable vision and a soft skirt around the edge for comfort. You get the clarity of a hard lens with the feel of a soft one.

That combination makes SynergEyes contacts a great option for people dealing with:

• Keratoconus — an irregular, cone-shaped cornea that standard lenses can't correct well

• Astigmatism — especially higher or irregular astigmatism that soft toric lenses struggle to stabilize

• Post-surgical corneas — after LASIK, PRK, or corneal transplants

• Presbyopia — with SynergEyes multifocal contact options for reading and distance in one lens

Are SynergEyes Contacts Right for You?

Not every eye doctor in Murfreesboro fits specialty lenses like these, so it's worth asking directly whether your provider has experience with them. During your eye exam in Murfreesboro, your optometrist will map the shape of your cornea to see if a hybrid lens is a good match, then walk you through the fitting process, which usually takes a visit or two to dial in.

If you've had a rough experience with contacts before, or an eye checkup that revealed something like keratoconus or irregular astigmatism, this is the kind of thing worth bringing up with your optometrist. A family eye care provider who offers specialty contact lens fittings can tell you pretty quickly whether SynergEyes contacts, or another version of a hybrid lens, could work for your eyes.
