CooperVision Biofinity Toric Multifocal is a highly sophisticated solution for individuals who require simultaneous correction for both astigmatism and presbyopia. These monthly multifocal toric contacts are engineered to provide consistent stability and exceptional breathability, ensuring sharp vision at all distances for patients with complex refractive needs.
Please Note: Biofinity Toric Multifocal is a custom-manufactured lens. Because each lens is made to order to match precise clinical requirements, please allow an extended lead time of 3 to 8 weeks for your specialized lenses to be produced and dispatched.
The Advanced Science of Biofinity Toric Multifocal
- Optimised Toric Lens Geometry™: To provide the reliable clarity required for astigmatism, the lens features a wide ballast band. This design ensures the lens remains stable and resists rotation during blinking, locking the vision correction in place.
- Balanced Progressive® Technology: This system utilizes multiple zones of vision correction to work with the brain's natural visual processing. It allows for a seamless transition between near, intermediate, and far distances, often eliminating the need for supplementary reading glasses.
- Aquaform® Technology: Rather than relying on temporary coatings, this material science process creates a naturally hydrophilic lens. It binds water molecules within the silicone hydrogel matrix, maintaining high moisture levels and a soft, flexible feel throughout the day.
- High Oxygen Breathability: Utilizing Comfilcon A, the lens allows a significant flow of oxygen to the cornea. This high transmissibility is essential for maintaining ocular health and keeping the eyes looking clear and white during extended periods of wear.
Who Should Consider Biofinity Toric Multifocal?
Biofinity Toric Multifocal is frequently recommended for patients who:
- Manage both astigmatism and presbyopia (the age-related loss of near-focusing ability).
- Require a custom-made lens to address complex visual prescriptions that standard lenses cannot correct.
- Experience dry eye symptoms and seek a lens material that retains moisture without artificial additives.
- Prefer the convenience of a monthly replacement schedule and require a lens that remains stable during active movement.
Note: Suitability, fit, and replacement schedules must always be confirmed by your optometrist.

Common Questions About Biofinity Toric Multifocal
Can I sleep in Biofinity Toric Multifocal lenses?
Biofinity Toric Multifocal is approved for up to six nights and seven days of continuous extended wear. However, sleeping in contact lenses increases the risk of eye infections. Patients must have their ocular health assessed by an optometrist before attempting an overnight wear schedule.
How does Biofinity Toric Multifocal compare to the standard Biofinity Toric?
Both lenses utilize the same high-oxygen Comfilcon A material and Optimised Toric Lens Geometry™ for rotational stability. The primary difference is that Biofinity Toric Multifocal includes Balanced Progressive® Technology to address presbyopia, whereas the standard Biofinity Toric is designed solely for astigmatism correction.
How does Biofinity Toric Multifocal correct both conditions at once?
The lens successfully manages both conditions through a dual-action design. The toric geometry uses a wide ballast to orient the astigmatism correction correctly, while the multifocal zones use concentric rings of power to focus light from various distances onto the retina simultaneously.
How should I clean and store my Biofinity Toric Multifocal lenses?
To maintain hygiene, Biofinity Toric Multifocal should be cleaned nightly with a high-quality multi-purpose solution. Optifree Pure Moist is often suggested for its ability to remove protein deposits. Lenses should always be stored in a fresh lens case to prevent contamination.
