Does anyone have any problems with their SynergEyes® KC hybird contacts?

Question

I just recently got my contacts (actually less than two months ago) and they both ripped already. They ripped where the rigid center bonds to the soft lens. Has anyone experience this? I'm always careful with them. I don't wear them for long. I use my rewetting drops. I'm just fustrated because now I have to spend another few hundred dollars.

Answer 1

Make sure to put a rewetting drop or two in immediately before you remove them.  This will make sure they are moistened and more pliable when removing them.  If it's dry and tacky when you take it out of the eye, it stresses the integrity of the lens and makes it more prone to tearing.  These lenses actually are pretty good at not tearing as a whole compared to the softperm lens.  I have around 25 patients in this lens and only one or two have torn them.
