CooperVision Expands Biofinity Line
CooperVision has launched Biofinity®, the latest addition to the Biofinity family of monthly replacement contact lenses. The product combines the Biofinity Asphere and toric lens material with proven Balanced Progressive™ Technology.
In addition to the new product, CooperVision also introduced a new streamlined fitting approach. Working closely with eyecare practitioners, the company developed the new process to make it easier for ECPs to fit their patients and offer lens wearers an ideal combination of ease, comfort and eye health.
In clinical testing, Biofinity Multifocal lenses outperformed other brands in a range of measurements, including end-of-the-day comfort, vision quality and intent to continue with a lens.
CooperVision further validated the new fitting protocol through clinical testing with eyecare practitioners, including Mile Brujic, OD of Premier Vision Group in Bowling Green, Ohio.
“It is a remarkably comfortable lens and this is important for our contact lens-wearing presbyopes,” Brujic said. “The sophisticated multifocal lens design makes it a versatile, uniquely-designed lens for even your most demanding presbyopic patients.”
“I had much greater success with Balanced Progressive Technology than ever before when I followed the new fitting steps to the letter,” said Jason Lake, OD, of Eyecare Specialties in Warrensburg, Missouri. “The patient satisfaction was the highest I have encountered in any brand of multifocal contact lens and the visits were held to a minimum because the results were very predictable.”
Biofinity Multifocal is currently available in sphere powers of +6.00 D to -8.00 D and in four ADD powers (+1.00, +1.50, +2.00, +2.50). A “D” (dominant eye) and “N” (non-dominant eye) lens are available for each ADD power.
