Summary: Purpose: Increasing the comfort in contact lenses using a hybrid lens healthy and easy to fit: EyeBrid Silicone. Material and Methods: A multi-center study involving 16 ophthalmologists trying to fit 156 patients with a 3 months follow-up in 2014. 73.2% of those patients were already contact lens wearers, and 26.9% new wearers. The practitioner and the patient had to score (on a scale between 0 to 5) different items like comfort throughout the day, quality of the vision. Results:The mean of the global satisfaction score was 4.0 on 5 and a global success of 75% for the “refit” population, and 58% for the “new wearers” population. In the same time ophthalmologist involved in the study had expressed very simply fitting process, especially for the “refit” population”. The patients have to be well chosen, and especially, the proper indication is when patients are complaining with discomfort. The indications for fitting the EyeBrid Silicone lens are: fitting failure in RGP’s, all the irregular indications like keratoconus or post graft, high ammetropias, unilateral wear, piggy-back. Conclusion: EyeBrid Silicone lens is a very interesting option in order to improve the comfort of the rigid gas permeable lenses. With such a lens, the practitioner is now able to afford better vision and better comfort for all the needs, even for all the complex cases. The patients understand easily the concept of hybrid lenses, and are very pro-active in wearing such lenses. Hybrid lenses are the future new range of lenses that the practitioners will be able to fit.
