Indications for Use
SynergEyes® SiH (petrafocon A hem-larafilcon A) Hybrid Contact Lenses for daily wear are indicated for use in the correction of hyperopic, myopic and astigmatic refractive error including presbyopia, in aphakic and not aphakic, non-diseased eyes. The lenses are indicated for daily wear for the correction of up to +20.00 and -20.00 D in eyes with astigmatism up to 6.00 D. For presbyopia, add powers between +1.00 and +4.00D. The lenses may be disinfected using only a chemical disinfecting system compatible with both hydrogel and rigid gas permeable lenses.
Device Story
SynergEyes SiH is a hybrid contact lens featuring a high-Dk rigid gas permeable (RGP) center (petrafocon A) and a soft silicone-hydrogel skirt (hem-larafilcon A) joined by a proprietary chemical bond. The lens straddles the limbus, focusing light onto the retina. It is prescribed by eye care professionals for daily wear to correct refractive errors. The device is available in spherical, aspheric, front-surface toric, and multifocal designs. Patients benefit from the visual acuity of an RGP lens combined with the comfort of a soft lens. The lens is sterilized via e-beam and requires chemical disinfection compatible with both materials.
Clinical Evidence
Prospective, unmasked, open-label 3-month study of 98 subjects (approx. 2:1 test-to-control ratio). Primary endpoints included safety (adverse events, slit lamp findings) and effectiveness (visual acuity, wearing time). Results showed stable Snellen visual acuity and similar daily wearing times (11.6-13.0 hours) between cohorts. Adverse events were comparable; slit lamp findings and symptom reports (dryness, halos) were slightly higher in the test cohort but deemed acceptable. Study concluded the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate.

# 8. Clinical data
A three month daily wear clinical study was performed on the subject device. The study was a prospective, unmasked, open label study of a total of 98 subjects, in an approximate 2:1 ratio of test to control.
The test lens was the SynergEyes™ SiH (petrafocon A hem-larafilcon A) Hybrid Contact Lens, and the control lens was the SynergEyes™ A (paflufocon D hem-iberficon A) Hybrid Contact Lens. The study was performed at 8 investigational sites, and was designed to demonstrate that the test lens performed no worse than the control lens on a daily basis.
Eighty seven (87) subjects were randomized and dispensed lenses. The ratio of dispensed Test cohort subjects to dispensed Control cohort subjects was 1.81 to 1. The 90 day study period was completed by 73.2% (41 out of 56) dispensed Test cohort subjects and 87.1% (27 out of 31) dispensed Control cohort subjects.
Nineteen (19) subjects discontinued from the study (15 Test and 4 Control) with the most common reason for discontinuation reported as Subject Decision for the Test cohort (40% or 6/15) and Discomfort for the Control cohort (75% or 3/4). One Test cohort subject was discontinued for , Adverse Event and 1 Test cohort subject was discontinued for Positive Slit Lamp.
| Reason for Discontinuation | Test Cohort | | Control Cohort | | Overall | | |
|----------------------------|-------------|-------|----------------|-------|---------|-------|--|
| Adverse Event | 1 | 6.7% | 0 | 0.0% | ી | 5.3% | |
| Positive Slit Lamp | 1 | 6.7% | 0 | 0.0% | 1 | 5.3% | |
| Comfort Related | 2 | 13.3% | 3 | 75.0% | 5 | 26.3% | |
| Subject Decision | 6 | 40.0% | 1 | 25.0% | 7 | 36.8% | |
| Protocol Violation | 2 | 13.3% | 0 | 0.0% | 2 | 10.5% | |
| Unacceptable Visual Acuity | 2 | 13.3% | 0 | 0.0% | 2 | 10.5% | |
| Lost to Follow-up | 1 | 6.7% | 0 | 0.0% | 1 | 5.3% | |
| Total Discontinued | 15 | | ರ | | 19 | | |
Reasons for Subiect Discontinuation
The demographics of the study subjects enrolled showed a slightly older population (average age: Control 40.6 / Test 37.3) with a greater proportion of female to male ratio: Control 3.9:1. Test 2.9:1) in the Control cohort as compared to the Test cohort. The majority (greater than 87%) of the subjects in the study were Caucasian for both cohorts.
A total of 5 adverse events were reported for 5 eyes during the study with 4 adverse events reported for the Test cohort and 1 adverse event reported for the Control cohort. Three (3) of the 5 adverse events (2 Test/ 1 Control) were reported as serious adverse events. Of the 2 Test cohort serious adverse events, 1 was a minor abrasion where the investigator noted a grade 1 (trace) infiltrate and 1+ cells in the anterior chamber, all of which had cleared in 4 days. The second serious adverse event was a microbial keratitis which was treated and cleared. The
4
{4}------------------------------------------------
SynergEyes™, Inc. Carlsbad, CA 92008
single serious adverse event reported for the Control cohort was liver failure related to the use of homeopathic products.
Slit lamp findings reported during the study were compared between the Test and the Control cohorts and related to the baseline rates as well. Results of the slit lamp examinations showed the Test cohort eyes presenting with more staining overall when compared to the Control cohort examinations. All other slit lamp findings were reported a similar rates and severities when looking at the overall visit combined findings for both the Test and the Control cohorts.
Symptoms problems and complaints were compared between the Test and the Control cohorts and reviewed against the baseline proportions as well. The Test cohort eyes reported proportionately greater symptoms (1.1% for itching/burning to 16.1% for dryness) when compared to the Control cohort eyes except for excessive tearing (essentially equal) and variable vision (3.6% Control). Most of the differences in symptoms rates were small (3.7% or less) except for halos (8.6% Test) and dryness (16.1% Test).
Snellen visual acuity with contact lenses remained stable throughout the study for both the test and the control cohorts with only 2 Test cohort eyes and 2 Control cohort eyes reporting 2 or line drops of Snellen lens visual acuity with the contact lenses at the final visit.
Average daily wearing times were similar between the two cohorts and remained stable during the study and averaged between 11.6 to 13.0 hours per day for the Test cohort and 12.1 to 12.8 hours per day for the Control cohort.
Lens deposit evaluations and fitting evaluations provided similar results between the two cohorts. Lens replacements indicated that the Test lenses were replaced more frequently for parameter change and the Control lenses were replaced more frequently for discomfort.
In conclusion, the evaluation of primary safety variables and effectiveness of the test product SynergEyes™ SiH (petrafocon A hem-larafilcon A) Hybrid Contact Lens, support a conclusion of substantial equivalence between the test and control lens evaluated in the study.
# 9. Risk and Benefits:
The risks of the subject device are the same as those normally attributed to the wearing of RGP and soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses on a daily wear base. The benefits to the patient are the same as those for other RGP and soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses. The subject device has characteristics associated with it that should favor the risk benefit ratio in favor of the new device. Overall, the risks and benefits associated with daily wear contact lenses are the same as for other daily wear contact lenses and raise no additional concerns for safety or effectiveness.
