How to Compare Biofinity Contacts

Biofinity contact lenses are available for the correction of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. They belong to a family of contact lenses known as silicon hydrogels. Many silicon hydrogel contact lenses may be worn safely overnight when approved by an eye doctor.

Oxygen Delivery

• All silicon hydrogel contact lenses allow more oxygen through to the eyeball than traditional soft contact lenses. According to Optometric Management, Biofinity contact lenses ranked second in oxygen delivery to the eye among all studied silicon hydrogel contact lenses.

Wettability

• According to Contact Lens Spectrum, Biofinity contact lenses ranked second in wettability among all studied silicon hydrogel contact lenses. The more wettable a contact lens, the more comfortable it is on the eye.

Replacement

• All soft contact lenses have a certain schedule when they should be replaced. These schedules include daily, weekly, bi-monthly, monthly, quarterly, bi-annually and annually. Biofinity contact lenses should be replaced on a monthly basis.

Considerations

• Contact lenses can be compared in many ways. Discuss your options with your optometrist or ophthalmologist to determine which contact lens will work best for you.
