Coopervision has launched its much anticipated Biofinity toric multifocal contact lens in Australia and New Zealand.

“This new lens combines the outstanding performance and design of Biofinity toric and Biofinity multifocal,” said Joe Tanner, Coopervision’s professional services manager. “Optometrists now have an easy-to-fit lens, using familiar lens design technologies and the proven Biofinity silicone hydrogel material. Being able to reliably correct astigmatism means there is no need to compromise visual acuity and we encourage practitioners to use this lens whenever 0.75D or more of astigmatism is present.” The Biofinity toric multifocal is fully moulded conferring excellent reproducibility, added Tanner. It is available in over 200,000 unique prescription options.

“Coopervision is known worldwide for toric contact lens innovation and performance. This latest range extension illustrates our commitment to providing a wide range of stable, comfortable silicone hydrogel 1-day toric options, allowing as many astigmatic patients as possible to be fitted,” said vice president Gary Orsborn.
