SynergEyes Contact Lenses: This is a breakthrough product that combines the superior optics of rigid gas permeable lenses with the comfort of soft lenses. Drs. Belanger and Marra are among a select few trained in the fitting of these specialty lenses. They are especially good for comeal irregularity and bifocal prescriptions.

Bifocal Contact Lens Upgrades
Many patients over 40 wish to wear contact lenses but dislike the limitation of having to wear reading glasses or mono vision (one eye for distance and one for near).

Technology improvements have finally given us a repertoire of contact lenses that will work for about 90% of patients.  Just five years ago the success rate was only about 50%.  Dr. Marra and Dr. Belanger are up on the latest and greatest to tailor the fit for each motivated individual.  Here are a few examples:

Triune RGP: This translating rigid lens design works like a spectacle lens with distinct reading power at the bottom portion of the lens.  It is considerably thinner and more precise than previous designs.  It works best on patients with astigmatism, high vision demands, and patients who have worn RGP lenses previously.  Dr. Belanger’s wife wears these lenses as well as some more discerning patients.

Disposable Soft Bifocal:  These were a true breakthrough product in terms of low cost, initial comfort, and practicality of fitting from  trial set.  For most patients we can demonstrate these soft lenses at the same time as your initial eye exam and dispense the same day.  For some it requires some adaptation and small compromise of vision.  It works best for those who like disposable soft lenses. Sometimes similar design deposit resistant soft lenses are best.

Triton:  This is a new soft contact lens released in summer 2001.  It is significantly different than any other soft bifocal lens.  It gives improved vision relative to other aspheric soft lenses while maintaining the comfort and flexibility of part time or full time wear.

Wave lenses:  These could be the “wave of the future”. Our office is one of only a few in the country fitting this system.  It requires a sophisticated instrument called a topographer which measures thousands of curvature variations of the cornea.  With the aid of a computer, the database is e-mailed directly to the laboratory for custom fit to the individual wearer.  Practically speaking, the advantages to the patient are improved comfort and vision relative to most rigid gas permeable lenses.  The design can be modified on a virtual model of your eye by computer.  Dr. Belanger and Dr. Marra have studied the system and refined skills through seminar training.
