An unmatched combination of comfort for monthly wearers: Dk, H20 & modulus
Comfort and clear, healthier eyes are everything to monthly premium lens wearers. Biofinity® lenses deliver them with the highest combination of O2 transmissibility and H2O content in the category, along with an optimum modulus.
Lasting comfort confirmed by clinical tests
Biofinity lenses stayed comfortable from initial insertion through the end of the month. (After one month of wear the overall comfort score was 93 out of 100 and end-of-day comfort was 90 out of 100).1
Superior design leads to superior vision
After one month of daily wear, Biofinity lenses were graded as superior for subjective vision quality compared to AIR OPTIX.2

Biofinity® toric
64% of patients rated the overall lens performance of Biofinity toric lenses as much better or better than their habitual silicone hydrogel lenses after 1 month of wear.7
In a recent clinical study, 77% of patients would recommend Biofinity toric to their family & friends.8
In the same study, ECPs reported that Biofinity toric performed well, with the proportion of Biofinity toric lenses showing8:
- 93% Optimum Centration
- 84% Excellent Lens Marking Visibility
- 72% Excellent Stability
- 73% Perfect Fit Acceptance
They also observed excellent physiological outcomes in Biofinity toric patients. At four weeks, they reported8:
- No Bulbar Conjunctival Hyperemia
- No Corneal Neovascularization
- Extremely Low Palpebral Hyperemia
Biofinity toric’s exceptional performance is the result of highly optimised geometry
- Uniform Horizontal ISO
- Thickness & Wide Ballast Design
- Superior Back Surface Curvature
- Larger Toric Optic Zone
