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’.

Alternatives
If you’re considering alternative toric lenses, you should first check their suitability for your eyes with your optician. You should also ensure they are properly fitted too.
Lenstore recommends the following alternative:
Proclear Toric XR
Proclear Toric XR contact lenses are manufactured by Coopervision. They are monthly disposable toric lenses for those with astigmatism. These lenses are specifically designed to cover a much broader range of prescriptions, so are an ideal choice for those with a high level of astigmatism. Thanks to a combination of the high-water content material and CooperVision's PC Technology, these lenses stay hydrated and comfortable all day long. These lenses are hydrogels and therefore not licensed for extended wear - only for daily use.
