Where to buy Biofinity

Option 1 - Buying through your Eye Care Professional

Ask your eye care professional for Biofinity contact lenses. Start with trial lenses first. Your eye care professional will make sure that your prescription is up-to-date and that the technical lens parameters satisfy the requirements of your eyes. There are many different base curves and diameters available - sometimes even within the same product line. So it is important to get a proper fitting done before deciding on a lens. Once it is a go, you can buy or reorder through your eye care practitioner. Don't forget to ask your eye care professional whether CooperVision is running a rebate program.

Option 2 - Buying online

If you already have a valid prescription, buying Biofinity online is easy and convenient. Plus, you can find great deals and discounts. Optix-now is monitoring the prices of Biofinity from many top contact lens retailers, so you don't have to spend a lot of time finding a great deal.

Wearing Details Wearing Details Your wearing schedule should be determined by your Eye Care Professional. It is important to have regular checkups and it is critical to adhere to the maximum wearing schedule as recommended by your Eye Care Professional as he/she will determine wearing time based upon your physiological eye condition and your response to the lenses.

Wetting Agents Wetting Agents Some contact lenses contain wetting agents to retain moisture. They might be integrated into the lens or added to the packaging solution: PVP - polyvinylpyrrolidone PEG - polyethylene glycol PEOX - poly-2-ethyl-2-oxazoline HPMC - hydroxypropyl methylcellulose PVA - polyvinyl alcohol PC - phosphatidylcholine PO - poloxamer	None

Center Thickness Center Thickness Center Thickness (at -3.00D)	0.08 mm
Oxygen Transmission Oxygen Transmission Oxygen Transmissibility (at -3.00D, center, non-edge-corrected). This value indicates to which degree oxygen may pass through a particular material of a given thickness. It is equal to the oxygen permeability divided by the thickness of the measured sample under specific conditions. The higher the oxygen transmissibility the easier it is for oxygen to flow through to your eye.	160 Dk/t
Modulus Modulus The modulus of a contact lens describes the stiffness of the material. Usually a higher water content lens means a less stiffer lens thus making the handling of the lens trickier.	0.75 MPa

UV Blocking UV Blocking UV-A Blocking covers the range from 316nm to 380nm. UV-B Blocking covers the 280nm to 315nm spectrum. The FDA classifies UV blocking capabilities of contact lenses into two groups. In order to be classified into one of the groups, the UV blocking capabilities must meet the following requirements: Class 1: filters >90% of UVA light filters >99% of UVB light Class 2: filters >50% of UVA light filters >95% of UVB light IMPORTANT NOTE: UV-absorbing contact lenses are not substitutes for protective UV-absorbing eye-wear, such as UV-absorbing goggles or sunglasses, as they do not completely cover the eye and surrounding area. Patients should continue to use UV-absorbing eye-wear as directed.	No
Dynamic Light Absorption Dynamic Light Absorption Known from auto-darkening eyeglasses, this new feature will be available for the first time in 2019 as it will mark the date for the introduction of the world's first contact lens that adapts to changing light conditions. Due to a photochromic additive, contact lenses with this feature can auto-darken based on the amount of light entering the lens.	No
Visibility Tint	Yes (Sofblue®)
