Biofinity Contacts

Understanding the Biofinity family of contact lenses

Looking for monthly contacts? Meet the Biofinity brand by CooperVision. Whether you are new to contacts or looking to switch from another brand, finding the exact right contacts for your special eyes can feel a bit overwhelming. We're here to walk you through the details so you (and your eye doctor) can confidently choose the Biofinity contacts that are right for you.

Biofinity is a highly popular monthly contact lens known for its balance of comfort, breathability, and clear vision. What sets this brand apart is the material they are made of, combined with proprietary Aquaform Technology. This technology holds moisture to the surface of the contact lens, resulting in a naturally water-loving lens that stays hydrated and comfortable all day long.

Beyond mere moisture, your eyes also need oxygen to stay healthy and clear. Biofinity contact lenses deliver 100 percent of the oxygen your eyes need for daily wear. The lenses also feature an Aberration Neutralizing System designed to enhance vision quality by minimizing a common optical imperfection called spherical aberration. Plus, they are designed with smooth, rounded edges that reduce the interaction between the contact lens and your eyelids, keeping you comfortable all day.

Also, for people looking to protect the environment, CooperVision has partnered with Plastic Bank in the United States. For every Biofinity contact lens sold, an equal amount of plastic is collected and converted through their global network. This initiative provides select coastal communities with basic necessities like groceries, cooking fuel, school tuition, and health insurance. It also means your vision care helps make a meaningful difference for others and the world.

Finding the right Biofinity contacts for your prescription

The Biofinity lineup includes several specific variations tailored to different vision needs. It is important to look closely at the contact lens prescription provided by your eye care professional. This helps you know exactly which specific contact lenses are best-suited to fit your needs and eyes.

Standard Biofinity and Biofinity XR

If you are nearsighted or farsighted, the standard Biofinity contact lenses are most likely what your doctor will prescribe. These contacts offer reliable, sharp vision for standard prescription ranges. However, if you have an unusually high prescription, your doctor might fit you for Biofinity XR. The "XR" stands for extended range. These lenses use the exact same highly breathable material and technology as the standard version, but they are manufactured for a specific range that many other contact lens brands may not accommodate.

Biofinity toric contacts and Biofinity XR toric

Astigmatism changes the shape of your eye, requiring a specialized contact lens that stays perfectly stable throughout the day. Biofinity toric contacts are designed specifically for people with astigmatism. They feature an optimized design that keeps the lens from rotating while blinking. This keeps your vision consistently clear rather than blurring in and out as you go about your day.

Just like the standard lenses, this type offers a range of options. If you have severe astigmatism or a highly complex prescription, Biofinity XR toric contacts stop you from compromising on comfort. Biofinity XR toric lenses bring the exact same Aquaform Technology and high oxygen flow to those who may have struggled to find a premium toric lens that fits their exact eye measurements.

Biofinity Energys for digital eye strain

If you spend hours staring at phones, tablets, and laptops, you might experience eye fatigue or digital eye strain. Biofinity Energys is a monthly lens specifically crafted for our modern, screen-heavy lifestyles. They utilize a specialized digital zone optics design that helps your eye muscles relax as you constantly shift your focus between on-screen text and off-screen distances. They retain the same long-lasting moisture and oxygen flow as the rest of the Biofinity family, making them an excellent choice for office workers, students, or anyone whose daily life revolves around digital devices.

Wear schedule and daily comfort guidelines

How long can you continuously wear Biofinity contacts? This is a common question. All lenses in the Biofinity family are classified as monthly replacement lenses. This means you wear a single pair for up to 30 days before discarding them and opening a fresh blister pack.

For optimal eye health, you should clean and store your lenses in fresh solution every night. Although some Biofinity lenses are approved by eye care professionals for continuous wear, you should only do so if your eye doctor specifically instructs you to. Yes, this includes sleeping in them! Every eye is unique, and taking them out nightly is the best way to ensure maximum comfort, hygiene, and clarity. Thanks to the highly wettable material, a fresh pair of Biofinity lenses should provide exceptional all-day comfort throughout their entire 30-day lifespan. Keep in mind, this is when they are cleaned and cared for properly.

Purchasing your Biofinity lenses online

Ready to order? Most Biofinity products come in a single 6-pack box. If your left eye and right eye have different prescription strengths, you will need to buy at least one box for each, giving you a full six month supply of contacts.

Shopping for contact lenses online is easy, allowing you to compare options and find the best value for your vision needs. Purchasing from reputable online retailers often means you can take advantage of bulk discounts, free shipping offers, and manufacturer rebates that lower your overall cost.

Don't forget, you can use available funds in your FSA (Flexible Savings Acount) or HSA (Health Savings Account) to purchase Biofinity contacts online. Simply use your FSA or HSA debit card at checkout, or save your emailed receipt to submit for reimbursement later.

Before adding contact lenses to your cart, double-check your paper prescription or your current contact lens box. It's important to make sure the base curve, diameter, power, and brand are correct. For instance, if your doctor prescribed "Biofinity toric," you cannot substitute it with the standard version. Getting the exact match ensures your lenses fit safely, feel perfectly comfortable, and provide the incredibly clear vision you expect.
