Product: Biofinity XR toric contact lenses
Top Line: To expedite availability for eyecare professionals (ECPs) and their patients, CooperVision has expanded the range of Biofinity XR toric contact lenses stocked at its global distribution center in West Henrietta, N.Y. The following parameter ranges are now available to ship next day to customers:
Sphere: Plano to -6.00D (0.50 steps)
Axis: 10° to 180° (10° steps)
Cylinder: -2.75 and -3.25
Close Up: Although Biofinity XR toric remains a made-to-order product for many prescriptions, especially for patients with higher refractive errors, the expanded inventories will speed access as a growing number of ECPs adopt the lens, CooperVision said in an announcement.
The company is also stocking trial lenses in the same parameters. Orders placed directly through CooperVision and select authorized distributors will ship the following business day.
“As the leading manufacturer of toric contact lenses, CooperVision has developed an unmatched portfolio of parameter options,” said Michele Andrews, OD, vice president of professional & government affairs, Americas, CooperVision. “The levels of design, manufacturing, and supply chain innovations to deliver this range is complex, yet entirely worth our ongoing investments. Doing so allows ECPs the ability to fit even the most challenging patients with the most prescribed toric lens on the market—and there is even more to come with further expansion of the range this year.”
Available in nearly 17,000 prescriptions, Biofinity XR toric contact lenses enable eyecare professionals to fit virtually all of their astigmatic patients. The unrivaled range of parameters also drives patient satisfaction, as the lenses provide patients with high amounts of astigmatism a combination of high oxygen permeability and all-day comfort, according to CooperVision.
“As eyecare professionals increasingly prescribe Biofinity XR toric, we are working to expedite delivery of some of the more common extended range prescriptions while saving optometry practices from having to store incredibly large fit sets,” said Dr. Andrews.
Biofinity XR toric is a fully cast molded made to order lens that incorporates the same uniform horizontal ISO thickness and optimized ballast band design as Biofinity toric, making it an easy-to-fit, stable toric lens with excellent visual acuity. Its optimized, continuous surface ensures that the eyelid interacts with a smooth lens surface on every blink, resulting in a more comfortable wearing experience.
Vital Stats: Biofinity XR toric lenses are available in sphere powers from +10.00D to -10.00D (0.50D steps after +/-6.00D), with cylinder powers from -2.75 to -5.75 (0.50 steps) and an axis of 5 degrees to 180 degrees in 5-degree steps.
