Carlsbad, CA-SynergEyes, Inc., has announced that its proprietary hybrid contact lens for irregular corneas (ClearKone) has been prescribed to more than 16,000 patients in 32 countries since it became available in late 2009.
The lens is available in North America and parts of The Americas, and in countries in Europe, the European Union, and the Middle East, as well as in Australia, England, Hong Kong, New Zealand, and South Africa.
