Biofinity XR Toric offers a specialised monthly solution for patients with high astigmatism who require a broader range of corrective parameters than standard lenses provide. These custom-made extended range toric lenses use advanced material science to maintain hydration and oxygen flow, ensuring that even complex prescriptions receive optimal visual clarity and long-lasting comfort.
Because Biofinity XR Toric is custom-manufactured by CooperVision to meet specific patient requirements, please allow a lead time of 3 to 8 weeks for these lenses to be produced and dispatched.
Achieving Visual Stability with Optimised Toric Lens Geometry™
For wearers with significant astigmatism, lens rotation can lead to blurred or inconsistent vision. Biofinity XR Toric addresses this with Optimised Toric Lens Geometry™, a design featuring a wide ballast band and uniform horizontal iso-thickness. This engineering ensures the lens remains stable on the eye during rapid movement and blinking, providing the consistent orientation necessary for sharp, reliable sight throughout the day.
The Clinical Advantages of Aquaform® Technology
Unlike traditional lenses that rely on surface coatings or added wetting agents, Biofinity XR Toric is built with Aquaform® Technology. This process creates a naturally hydrophilic silicone hydrogel material that binds water molecules directly into the lens. This results in a highly breathable lens with a high oxygen transmissibility (116 Dk/t), allowing more oxygen to reach the cornea to help maintain white, healthy-looking eyes.
Who Should Consider Biofinity XR Toric?
Biofinity XR Toric is frequently recommended for patients who:
- Require correction for high degrees of astigmatism that fall outside standard parameter ranges.
- Experience fluctuating vision due to lens rotation in standard toric lenses.
- Prioritize a highly breathable monthly lens to maintain ocular health.
- Prefer a monthly replacement schedule with the flexibility of optometrist-approved extended wear.
Note: Suitability, fit, and replacement schedules must always be confirmed by your optometrist.

Common Questions About Biofinity XR Toric
Can I sleep in Biofinity XR Toric contact lenses?
Biofinity XR Toric is approved for up to six nights and seven days of continuous extended wear. However, sleeping in lenses increases the risk of eye infections. Patients must have their suitability for overnight wear assessed and approved by an optometrist before attempting an extended wear schedule.
What is the difference between Biofinity XR Toric and standard Biofinity Toric?
While both products utilize the same breathable Comfilcon A material and stability-focused geometry, the Biofinity XR Toric is custom-made for "extended range" prescriptions. It covers much higher levels of astigmatism and power ranges than the standard Biofinity Toric.
How should I clean and maintain Biofinity XR Toric lenses?
When following a daily wear schedule, these monthly lenses must be cleaned and disinfected every night. Optifree Pure Moist is often recommended for removing debris and maintaining surface moisture. Always store the lenses in a fresh contact lens case with new solution.
