CooperVision Biofinity Energys are advanced monthly contacts designed to maintain ocular comfort and visual clarity throughout a demanding digital day. These lenses are specifically engineered for patients who frequently transition their focus between digital screens and their physical surroundings.
Relieving Digital Eye Strain with Innovative Lens Design
Biofinity Energys is manufactured with Digital Zone Optics®, a unique aspheric profile that helps the eyes move seamlessly between on-screen and off-screen tasks. By providing a subtle positive power boost across the optical zone, the lenses reduce the accommodative burden on the ciliary muscles. This feature is particularly beneficial in delaying the onset of ocular fatigue often caused by the constant refocusing required when using smartphones, tablets, and computers.
Integrated Moisture via Aquaform® Technology
Unlike many traditional silicone hydrogel lenses that rely on external coatings, Biofinity Energys utilizes proprietary Aquaform® Technology. This material science process creates an inherently hydrophilic lens matrix that locks water molecules directly into the Comfilcon A material. The result is a naturally wettable surface that resists dehydration and maintains consistent moisture, which is essential for patients using digital eye strain lenses in climate-controlled office environments.
High Breathability for Long-Term Eye Health
The silicone hydrogel construction of these monthly contacts allows for exceptional oxygen transmissibility (160 Dk/t). This high level of breathability ensures that the cornea receives the oxygen it needs to remain healthy, clear, and white. The 48% water content further contributes to a soft, flexible lens fit that remains comfortable from the first hour of wear until the end of the day.
Who Should Consider Biofinity Energys?
Biofinity Energys is frequently recommended for patients who require correction for short-sightedness (myopia) or long-sightedness (hyperopia) and lead a digitally connected lifestyle. Optometrists often suggest these lenses for:
- Frequent users of digital devices who experience accommodative fatigue or end-of-day dryness.
- Wearers seeking a premium, highly breathable monthly replacement schedule.
- Patients who spend long hours in air-conditioned or low-humidity environments.
- Those who prefer a lens approved for flexible wear schedules, including potential overnight use.
Note: Suitability, fit, and replacement schedules must always be confirmed by your optometrist.

Common Questions About Biofinity Energys
Can I sleep in Biofinity Energys lenses?
Biofinity Energys lenses are clinically approved for up to six nights and seven days of continuous extended wear. However, patients must never sleep in their lenses unless they have been explicitly examined and cleared for an overnight wear schedule by their optometrist.
How do Biofinity Energys compare to the standard Biofinity?
Both lenses are crafted from the same high-oxygen Comfilcon A silicone hydrogel material and feature Aquaform® Technology. The primary distinction is that Biofinity Energys incorporates Digital Zone Optics® to specifically address screen-related fatigue, whereas the standard Biofinity utilizes a traditional aspheric design for general vision correction.
How do Biofinity Energys assist with heavy screen use?
The Digital Zone Optics® design provides a subtle power boost that reduces the muscular effort required by the eye to focus on close-up digital devices. By easing this internal focusing strain, the lenses help minimize the physical tiredness and "heavy" eye sensation associated with prolonged screen time.
