SynergEyes Hybrid Contact Lenses in Honolulu
Some eyes need more than a standard soft lens can offer. Whether you have keratoconus, irregular astigmatism, high prescriptions, or you’ve struggled to get comfortable, consistent vision from conventional contacts, rigid gas permeable and hybrid lenses like SynergEyes can deliver a level of clarity soft lenses simply can’t match.
At Simply Eyes Hawaii, Dr. Daniel Yamamoto has spent nearly 40 years fitting RGP and hybrid lenses for people across Honolulu, Makiki, Mō’ili’ili, and the greater Oahu area. This is a specialty that takes real experience to get right, and it’s one he’s built his career around.
If you’ve been told your eyes are “too complicated” for contacts, this may be the fit you’ve been looking for.
SynergEyes Hybrid Contact Lenses: The Best of Both Worlds
Remember when contact lenses meant choosing between clarity and comfort? “Hard” rigid gas permeable lenses delivered crisp, precise vision, but they could feel irritating throughout the day. Soft lenses were comfortable from the start, but often came with less-than-optimal vision. That trade-off is no longer necessary.
SynergEyes hybrid lenses combine a breathable rigid center with a soft outer skirt. The rigid center keeps eyes healthy while providing sharp, stable vision, even at night. The soft skirt surrounding it gives you the all-day comfort typically associated with standard soft lenses. You get the visual precision of a rigid lens and the wearability of a soft one, without compromising on either.
Dr. Daniel Yamamoto has been fitting rigid gas permeable and hybrid lenses for people across Honolulu, Makiki, Mō’ili’ili, and Ala Moana since 1987. If your current lenses aren’t giving you the vision or comfort you want, a SynergEyes fitting with Dr. Yamamoto may be the answer.
Do you wear soft contact lenses?
You may be settling for less-than-optimal vision. The rigid center optics in SynergEyes lenses can deliver a level of clarity soft lenses alone can’t match.
Do you have astigmatism?
SynergEyes lenses don’t suffer from toric lens rotation, a common issue with soft toric lenses that causes vision to blur or shift throughout the day. SynergEyes optics stay stable, blink after blink.
Do you currently wear rigid lenses?
You may be settling for less-than-optimal comfort. SynergEyes eliminates the debris that can collect under conventional rigid lenses, along with the lens movement and dislodging that comes with an active lifestyle.
Do you still wear glasses because contacts haven’t worked for you in the past?
Many people who struggled with contacts in the past find that hybrid lenses solve the problems that made them give up. SynergEyes may be the contact lens option you haven’t tried yet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Traditional contacts force a choice: rigid lenses for sharp vision or soft lenses for comfort. SynergEyes hybrid lenses combine both in a single design. A breathable rigid center delivers crisp, stable vision, while a soft outer skirt provides the comfort you’d expect from a standard soft lens.
Yes, for most people. The soft skirt surrounding the rigid center eliminates the edge irritation and lens movement that can happen with conventional RGP lenses, while still providing the visual clarity that rigid lenses are known for.
Yes. SynergEyes lenses maintain stable optics without the rotation that can affect soft toric lenses, so vision stays consistent blink after blink.
Anyone who has struggled to find the right balance of comfort and clarity in contacts is worth considering for SynergEyes. This includes people with astigmatism, those who found rigid lenses too uncomfortable to wear consistently, and anyone who’s been told their prescription made contacts difficult to fit.
Most people adjust quickly, often within the first few days of wear, since the soft outer skirt reduces the initial awareness that can come with an all-rigid lens design. Dr. Yamamoto will walk you through what to expect during your fitting.
