The FDA has approved new Deseyne contact lenses. They feature an extended depth of focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what are these new contacts, and how will they help you? Here&#8217;s everything you need to know about the latest developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-deseyne-contact-lenses\">What Are Deseyne Contact Lenses?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Deseyne contact lenses are the first of their kind on the market in the U.S. The lenses were developed by Bruno Vision Care, and they&#8217;re soft, disposable daily lenses that feature extended depth of focus (EDOF). According to a press release by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20250414396492\/en\/Bruno-Vision-Care-Receives-FDA-Approval-for-Deseyne-Contact-Lens-with-FusionTechnology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bruno Vision Care<\/a>, they&#8217;re different from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/acuvue-oasys-multifocal-reviews-from-verified-buyers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">multifocal contacts<\/a>, which are commonly used to correct presbyopia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, what exactly does this mean for <em>your<\/em> eyesight?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eddie Catalfamo, the cofounder and CEO of Cataltheia Group, of which Bruno Vision Care is a subsidiary, told the press that Deseyne contact lenses allow for &#8220;continuous focus from near to far, with no patient cognitive adaptation period required.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lenses are made from Vifilcon C hydrogel, which functions by using a patented hyper-refractive central zone. So, rather than multiple zones like in multifocal designs, Bruno Vision Care has stated that these lenses offer continuous, smooth vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healio.com\/news\/optometry\/20251230\/fda-approves-deseyne-daily-disposable-extended-depth-of-focus-contact-lens-for-presbyopia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">In tests<\/a>, it was shown that the contacts increase the depth of focus by about 0.78 diopters. They also increase near and intermediate visual acuity by about 1.5 lines on an eye chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In April 2025, the FDA approved the base lens material and technology components of the Deseyne contact lenses, which feature FusionTechnology\u2122. Then, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrytimes.com\/view\/deseyne-edof-daily-contact-lenses-first-of-its-kind-approved-by-us-fda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in December 2025<\/a>, the FDA cleared the Deseyne contact lenses for commercial distribution in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:33px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-are-these-lenses-a-game-changer\">Are These Lenses a Game Changer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 3 2'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-elderly-couple-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Elderly couple looking out into the distance\" class=\"lazy-load-img wp-image-30802\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-elderly-couple-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-elderly-couple-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-elderly-couple-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-elderly-couple-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-elderly-couple-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-elderly-couple-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-elderly-couple-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-elderly-couple.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Elderly Couple Looking Out Into the Distance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Deseyne contact lenses&#8217; patented FusionTechnology\u2122 uses a controlled-release system activated by body temperature, eyelid pressure, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/how-many-times-do-you-blink-a-day-what-ai-isnt-telling-you\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blinking<\/a>. The technology is designed to mimic natural tears. It&#8217;s supposed to help keep the wearer&#8217;s eyes moist and comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These lenses could be a game-changer in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/bye-presbyopia-glasses-hello-eye-drops-new-clinical-evidence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">treatment of presbyopia<\/a>. They&#8217;re touted as easier to adapt to and with lower dropout rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the press release, EDOF lenses have proven popular with surgeons and patients. This indicates that the industry is ready for this revolution in presbyopia treatment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apparently, they also show lower rates of symptoms compared to multifocal technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.S. launch of these new lenses is really revolutionizing eye care solutions. The launch was supported by consulting from Salution Nexus (part of the company Salution Health).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healio.com\/news\/optometry\/20251230\/fda-approves-deseyne-daily-disposable-extended-depth-of-focus-contact-lens-for-presbyopia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a statement<\/a>, the cofounder of Salution Health, Malvina Eydelman, MD, explained more about what her company does. She described Salution Health as \u201cthe world\u2019s first fully integrated human and AI-powered health accelerator.\u201d Their mission is to combine human expertise with AI to navigate complex clinical and regulatory environments. Eydelman added that Salution Nexus is the company&#8217;s \u201cglobal regulatory and clinical strategy engine.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSalution Nexus provided singular regulatory and scientific expertise to the team that led the Deseyne U.S. submission over an extended period, supporting first-of-a-kind preclinical assessments and addressing unique regulatory issues,\u201d Eydelman told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healio.com\/news\/optometry\/20251230\/fda-approves-deseyne-daily-disposable-extended-depth-of-focus-contact-lens-for-presbyopia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Healio<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eydelman added that the work her company did to support Deseyne helped get the contacts FDA-approved. Now, the contacts are ready to be rolled out across the U.S. market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:33px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Details on the New Innovative Lenses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 3 2'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-woman-contact-lens-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Older woman puts in a contact lens\" class=\"lazy-load-img wp-image-30801\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-woman-contact-lens-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-woman-contact-lens-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-woman-contact-lens-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-woman-contact-lens-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-woman-contact-lens-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-woman-contact-lens-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-woman-contact-lens-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-woman-contact-lens.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Woman Puts in a Contact Lens<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the breakthroughs with Deseyne contact lenses is the way their two patented technologies (vifilcon C and FusionTechnology\u2122) work together for incredible results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I won&#8217;t get too deep into the science jargon of these new lenses. But in short, bioactive substances are embedded within the lens. These substances feature vitamins, amino acids, and polysaccharides. The effect? Long-lasting comfort for the wearer and a more natural feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FusionTechnology\u2122 uses hyaluronic acid (you&#8217;ve probably heard all about hyaluronic acid in your skin care) with natural Tamarind Seed Polysaccharides. It&#8217;s released gradually so that it&#8217;s activated by body temperature, blinking, and eyelid pressure. This leads to seamless wear and better hydration for your eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CEO of Cataltheia, Eddie Catalfamo, stated that the patented technology in their lenses is &#8220;setting a new standard in vision care.&#8221; Bruno Vision Care is aiming to make presbyopia treatment more comfortable and more effective at providing clear, sharp vision. This will help make fitting easier for eye care doctors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paul Karpecki, who&#8217;s a leading OD in the U.S. eyecare field, says that Deseyne contact lenses are bringing something new to the market. Their unique design makes them capable of maintaining eye hydration throughout the day in a way that other lenses can&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:33px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beating Dry Eyes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 3 2'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-man-contact-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Older man puts in a contact lens\" class=\"lazy-load-img wp-image-30799\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-man-contact-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-man-contact-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-man-contact-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-man-contact-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-man-contact-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-man-contact-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-man-contact-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/presbyopia-treatment-man-contact.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Man Puts in a Contact Lens<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/eye-drops-for-dry-eyes-do-they-really-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dry eyes<\/a> are one of the main issues for contact lens users. This is why a high percentage of wearers switch to other eyecare solutions each year. You want your contact lenses to look and feel invisible while supporting presbyopia treatment. You don&#8217;t want them to make your eyes itchy and dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s why Bruno Vision Care is celebrating that these new lenses can provide customers with a new level of comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Catalfamo shared that getting FDA approval is going to help switch up and innovate the contact lens market. The market has become stagnant over the last few years. With an aging population, presbyopia treatment is needed now more than ever.
