CooperVision’s Biofinity range are soft contact lenses made from comfilcon A, an exceptionally comfortable material that offers a high level of breathability. They’re monthly disposable lenses available for those with short-sightedness, long-sightedness, astigmatism and presbyopia.
What are Comfilcon A contact lenses?
Comfilcon A is a silicone hydrogel-based material used by CooperVision to manufacture the Biofinity contact lens range. These lenses are often described as ‘hydrophilic’ or ‘water-loving’, as they’re particularly adept at absorbing water. This makes for a soft and flexible lens that fits the eye securely and comfortably and the material itself has a water content of 48%, particularly high for a contact lens.
This also means that they help to prevent your eye from feeling dehydrated, locking in moisture so that they feel as fresh at the end of the day as they do at the start. Comfilcon A lenses also have a high level of oxygen permeability (128 Dk/t), meaning that they allow oxygen to flow freely through to your eyes as if you weren’t wearing contacts at all. Along with the high levels of moisture, this means that Biofinity are one of the most comfortable and natural feeling contact lenses that you can wear.
Comfilcon A multifocal contact lenses
Biofinity Multifocal are monthly multifocal lenses designed for people who have the condition presbyopia. As multifocal comfilcon A lenses, they provide a high level of comfort and vision, so you won’t need to grab your glasses when your reading. These lenses use Balanced Progressive ™ Technology to ensure that you can focus on both objects near and far with ease.
Comfilcon A toric contact lenses
If you have astigmatism, comfilcon A toric contact lenses like Biofinity Toric are a perfect choice. With up to 30 consecutive days of wear from just one pair of lenses, these are comfortable, affordable and securely-fitting lenses that you can rely on for crisp, clear vision each day.
Comfilcon A Specsavers equivalent contact lenses
If you wear Specsavers easyvision lenses made from comfilcon A, you might not know that these are equivalent to Biofinity. They might come in different packaging but they’re compatible with your prescription and offer you the same levels of comfort and visual clarity.
