CooperVision has launched its Biofinity XR lens brand, extending Biofinity’s sphere range from +15.00 to -20.00.
The company explained that the extension to the silicone hydrogel (comfilcon A) lens significantly expanded Biofinity’s range of sphere powers, allowing practitioners to fit a greater number of monthly replacement lens patients, including those with significant hyperopia or myopia.
Biofinity XR lenses come in powers from +8.50 to +15.00 (0.50 steps) and -12.50 to -20.00 (0.50) steps, adding to the existing Biofinity line of +8.00 to -12.00 powers.
The company’s senior vice president, global professional and clinical affairs, Dr Juan Carlos Aragon, said: ‘The availability of Biofinity XR gives eye care practitioners another reason to make it a monthly lens of choice, whether transitioning Proclear wearers, upgrading from a competitive lens, or introducing a broader span of spectacle wearers to soft lenses.’
He added that the advanced design incorporated into both Biofinity XR and Biofinity lenses made it easy for practitioners to have a high degree of fitting success, even for patients with more extreme needs.
