Proclear Multifocal XR extended range multifocal contacts offer a specialized clinical solution for individuals with presbyopia whose vision correction requirements fall outside the scope of standard lenses. By integrating biomimetic hydration with advanced multi-focal optics, these lenses ensure that wearers with high prescriptions do not have to compromise on comfort or visual acuity.
Please Note: Proclear Multifocal XR is a custom, made-to-order lens. Due to the specialized manufacturing requirements, please allow 3 to 8 weeks for your order to be processed and dispatched.
For patients seeking a modern silicone hydrogel equivalent with higher oxygen transmissibility and a faster delivery timeframe, Biofinity XR Multifocal is frequently recommended by eye care professionals as an upgraded alternative.
Overcoming High Prescription Challenges with Proclear Multifocal XR
When patients require CooperVision high prescription contacts, the XR (Extended Range) series provides the necessary manufacturing flexibility to accommodate complex sphere and cylinder values. While many standard multifocal lenses are limited in their power ranges, Proclear Multifocal XR is engineered to provide a precise fit and stable vision for those who have historically struggled to find compatible contact lenses for their specific refractive needs.
The Clinical Advantage of PC Technology™ for Hydration
A primary feature of these extended range multifocal contacts is the use of PC Technology™. This process involves incorporating phosphorylcholine (PC) molecules—which are naturally found in human cell membranes—directly into the Omafilcon B lens material. These molecules attract and tightly bind water to the lens surface, creating a protective shield of moisture that persists throughout the entire monthly wearing cycle. This biocompatible approach is particularly effective for presbyopic wearers who frequently experience age-related ocular dryness.
Precision Vision through Balanced Progressive® Technology
To provide seamless transitions between different distances, Proclear Multifocal XR utilizes Balanced Progressive® Technology. This optical design features multiple zones of correction that work in harmony with the eye's natural pupillary response. By utilizing distinct lens designs (D and N) for the dominant and non-dominant eyes, the technology ensures exceptional clarity whether you are reading a smartphone, working at a computer, or viewing objects at a distance.
Who Should Wear Proclear Multifocal XR?
Optometrists often recommend Proclear Multifocal XR for patients who:
- Require correction for presbyopia but have sphere or cylinder prescriptions that exceed the limits of standard monthly lenses.
- Experience symptoms of contact lens-induced dryness or end-of-day discomfort.
Note: Suitability, fit, and replacement schedules must always be confirmed by your optometrist.

Common Questions About Proclear Multifocal XR
How does Proclear Multifocal XR compare to Biofinity XR Multifocal?
Proclear Multifocal XR is a hydrogel-based lens featuring PC Technology™, which is often favored for its exceptional biocompatibility and moisture retention in patients with sensitive or dry eyes. In contrast, Biofinity XR Multifocal is manufactured from a modern silicone hydrogel (Comfilcon A). Biofinity lenses offer significantly higher oxygen transmissibility to support corneal health and typically feature a faster manufacturing turnaround than the made-to-order Proclear XR series.
Why is Proclear Multifocal XR recommended for patients with dry eyes?
The Omafilcon B material in Proclear Multifocal XR is specifically designed to mimic the natural substances found on the surface of human eye cells. By binding water molecules to the lens surface, the material resists the progressive dehydration that often causes irritation in conventional multifocal lenses. This allows the lens to remain hydrated and comfortable for the full duration of the monthly wear period.
What is the correct wearing schedule for Proclear Multifocal XR?
Proclear Multifocal XR is designed for daily wear on a monthly replacement schedule. This means the lenses must be removed every night, cleaned with an appropriate multipurpose solution, and stored in a clean lens case. These lenses are not approved for overnight or extended wear; they must be replaced with a fresh pair after 30 days to maintain optimal ocular health.
