Biofinity Multifocal contact lenses provide a high-performance solution for those requiring clear, reliable vision across near, intermediate, and far distances. These monthly silicone hydrogel lenses are specifically engineered to address the changing visual needs of patients with presbyopia, offering a seamless transition between different focal points without the need for reading glasses.
The Clinical Advantages of Biofinity Multifocal for Presbyopia
By utilizing a sophisticated multi-zone optical design, Biofinity Multifocal helps wearers maintain sharp focus whether they are viewing a digital screen up close or looking at objects in the distance. The lenses are crafted from Comfilcon A, a modern material that balances high water content with superior oxygen permeability to ensure the eyes stay healthy and white throughout the day.
How Does Balanced Progressive Technology Enhance Vision?
The effectiveness of Biofinity Multifocal lies in its Balanced Progressive Technology. This advanced optical system contains multiple zones of vision correction within each lens, allowing your eyes to transition naturally between various distances. Unlike traditional bifocals, this technology provides a smooth visual experience that mimics natural sight, making it an ideal choice for active individuals who require consistent clarity.
Advanced Comfort with Aquaform Technology
Many patients experience increased eye dryness as they age, particularly when using multifocal lenses. Biofinity Multifocal addresses this through CooperVision’s proprietary Aquaform Technology, which creates a naturally hydrophilic lens matrix.
- Intrinsic Moisture: The material binds water molecules directly within the lens, maintaining hydration without the need for surface coatings or added wetting agents.
- High Oxygen Flow: With an oxygen transmissibility of 142 Dk/t, these lenses allow a significant amount of oxygen to reach the cornea, reducing the risk of irritation and maintaining long-term ocular health.
- Soft and Flexible: The low-modulus material ensures the lens is soft and pliable, minimizing mechanical friction against the eyelid for a "barely-there" feel.
Who Should Wear Biofinity Multifocal?
Biofinity Multifocal is frequently recommended for patients who:
- Require correction for presbyopia to improve vision at all distances.
- Wish to reduce or eliminate their reliance on reading glasses or bifocal spectacles.
- Experience symptoms of lens-related dryness or discomfort towards the end of the day.
- Seek a highly breathable monthly lens that supports extended wear under professional guidance.
Note: Suitability, fit, and replacement schedules must always be confirmed by your optometrist.

Common Questions About Biofinity Multifocal
How often should Biofinity Multifocal be replaced?
Biofinity Multifocal is designed for a monthly replacement schedule, meaning each lens should be replaced every 30 days. While they are typically removed nightly for cleaning, these lenses are also clinically cleared for up to 29 nights of continuous extended wear if specifically assessed and approved by your optometrist.
Are Biofinity Multifocal lenses suitable for dry eyes?
Yes, Biofinity Multifocal is a clinically strong option for patients prone to dryness. Because Aquaform Technology integrates moisture directly into the lens material rather than relying on an external coating, the lenses remain hydrated and comfortable from the first day of wear through to the end of the month.
What is the best way to clean and store Biofinity Multifocal?
When removed daily, Biofinity Multifocal must be cleaned and disinfected to prevent the buildup of protein and lipids. Optifree Pure Moist is often recommended to maintain lens surface moisture. After cleaning, store the lenses in a fresh contact lens case filled with new solution.
