THE MOST SOPHISTICATED INTRAOCULAR LENS FOR VISION CORRECTION AT ALL DISTANCES

Everyone has heard, and some even tried in their own eyes, laser vision correction. Unlike this still most popular method of vision correction in the world, patients who have trouble reading without glasses could not feel its “benefits.”
However, there is also a solution for them, in the form of implantation of multifocal intraocular lenses.
The latest lens of its kind, manufactured by Johnson & Johnson Vision, is called Synergy?. This lens is the closest thing to a natural healthy youthful eye.
In the next few sentences, I will try to explain the advantages of this lens over all the other ones currently available on the market.
1. There is no “transition zone.”
To clearly see the subject at close range (30-35 cm from the eye), patients with multifocal intraocular lenses have to place the object precisely at that distance. If they move a few centimeters closer or farther from the eye, the image will become blurry. Synergy? completely eliminates the “transition zone” and no matter what distance the subject is viewed, the picture is always clear.
2. Insignificant scattering of light in night conditions
One of the main reasons for dissatisfaction after implanting multifocal intraocular lenses was the scattering of light, which usually lasted 1-6 months. With the latest model of Synergy? multifocal lenses, the light scattering sensation is insignificant and is not even noticed by most patients.
3. There is no loss of contrast sensitivity
Contrast sensitivity is the ability of our eye to distinguish lighter and darker shades to the smallest detail. Previous multifocal intraocular lenses have reduced contrast sensitivity, especially in nighttime or light-reduced conditions. Again, the Synergy? multifocal lens has eliminated this problem and patients with these lenses maintain the contrast sensitivity of their eyes altogether.
4. Minimum time to get used to lenses
So far, it has taken 1-6 months for patients to get used to multifocal intraocular lenses, i.e. to “adjust” distances with which they can clearly see near, intermediate, and far. With Synergy? multifocal intraocular lenses, the time of adjustment is only 2-5 days.
If you want to give your eyes the perfect vision without any prescription at all distances, then the Synergy? multifocal intraocular lenses are the right option for you!
