Month-long hydration - CooperVision’s Aquaform technology naturally retains moisture in the lens for ongoing, optimum wettability whether it’s day 1 or day 29 of wear. This also makes them ideal for dry or sensitive eyes.
Ideal for extended range prescriptions - Do you have a high level of astigmatism? These toric lenses are specifically designed to cover a much wider range of astigmatism prescriptions, covering a sphere of +10.00D to -10.00D and a cylinder up to -5.75.
Clear and stable vision - Designed with Optimised Lens Geometry in place, the thickness and ballast of these lenses help them to stabilise in the eye and fix in place for a quick, stable design.
Breathable and comfortable - The silicone hydrogel material is highly breathable and allows a good flow of oxygen to reach the eyes, improving eye health and lens comfort.
Minimal maintenance - As monthly lenses, you only need to get used to a 5-minute nightly cleaning routine. Otherwise, these lenses are no hassle and only need replacing with a new pair once a month. Ideal for busy lifestyles.
Biofinity XR Toric are monthly disposable toric contact lenses that cover an extended range of prescriptions. Manufactured by CooperVision, these lenses are an excellent choice if you have been diagnosed with a high level of astigmatism. Wearers describe these lenses as ‘good quality’ and ‘comfortable’.
