Extended Comfort - Thanks to the highly breathable silicone hydrogel material and CooperVision’s Aquaform technology, these lenses are very hydrophilic. This delivers great wettability and optimum comfort over very long periods of wear - ideal for continuous wear.
Super Stable Vision - Thanks to optimised toric lens geometry, these lenses have been designed to quickly stabilise themselves in your eyes to ensure prompt and consistent quality of vision that lasts all-day and beyond.
Minimum Fuss - These lenses only need to be replaced once a month, so that means no more daily disposable blister packs all over the house! If your optician has recommended that you can wear these lenses continuously, then you also don’t need to worry about a cleaning routine as they can be worn for up to 29 nights consecutively.
Biofinity Toric contacts are designed specifically for those with astigmatic eyes. They are manufactured by CooperVision and in reviews, they are described by wearers as ‘super comfortable even after a long day’.
Recommended For
Biofinity Toric contacts are best suited for those:
- With astigmatism.
- Who want low maintenance lenses (if worn as continuous wear).
Please always check with your Optometrist first before purchasing new contact lenses that haven't been prescribed.

Lenstore recommends the following alternatives:
Avaira Vitality Toric
Avaira Vitality Toric are monthly disposable contact lenses for those with astigmatism. They possess CooperVision Optimised Toric Lens Geometry, which helps the lenses to stabilize quickly and deliver clear, sharp vision regardless of head movements. A larger optic zone also improves the clarity of objects. These silicone hydrogel lenses are highly breathable and allow a good flow of oxygen for improved comfort, while also helping to keep eyes hydrated and refreshed throughout wear. They also possess a UV block that filters 90% of UV-A and 99% of UV-B rays (although you should also wear sunglasses).
Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism
Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism contacts are two weekly disposable lenses. They can also be worn as extended wear lenses (if your optician is consulted first), but in doing so must be replaced on a weekly basis. These lenses combine the breathability of silicone hydrogel with the wetting agents of Hydraclear Plus, which creates a soft and flexible lens that delivers crisp, stable vision throughout the day as well as exceptional levels of comfort.
