    The FDA has cleared the first daily disposable soft contact lens for presbyopia using extended depth of focus (EDOF) technology.

    Deseyne contact lenses provide continuous focus across near, intermediate, and distance vision using a patented hyper-refractive central zone.

  • 3

    EDOF technology has previously been limited to intraocular lenses, but Deseyne offers a non-surgical alternative with similar benefits.

  • 4

    Deseyne has shown clinically meaningful improvements in near and intermediate vision, comparable to FDA-approved EDOF intraocular lenses.

    Manufactured from vifilcon C hydrogel, Deseyne is designed for hydration, comfort, and visual stability throughout the day.
