Biofinity Multifocal 6 Pack

Biofinity Multifocal 6 Pack Professional Review

The Biofinity Multifocal 6 Pack lenses are targeted at people suffering from presbyopia. With the development of comfort and clarity, these lenses ensure sharp vision at all distances.

With advanced optical technologies that allow continued hydration, these lenses are approved for daily and extended wear.

Many wearers reported that there was no obstruction or inconvenience when changing focus from near objects to far objects and vice versa.

These are for extended wear, with an aim to cater to the demands of the modern lifestyle without compromising the health of one's eyes.

Material

The Biofinity Multifocal lenses are made of Comfilcon A, a type of silicone hydrogel. This material retains moisture and allows less protein deposit, and this makes it perfect for comfortable wear.

Silicone hydrogel enables a greater transmission rate of oxygen that will keep the eyes white and healthy. This material also plays a fundamental role in comfort and overall eye health.

Importantly, silicone hydrogel lenses have been shown to reduce the occurrence of dry eyes, which is one of the common issues mentioned among contact lens users.

Comfilcon A has already proven its bio-compatibility, translating to a material that is less likely to incite reactions in the eye. The hydrophilic material ensures that it is kept moist at all times during the day, alleviating one of the main concerns with long-term lens wear: dryness.

The capacity of this material to repel deposits further enhances the quality of the wearing experience by diminishing irritants which can build up on the surface of the lens.

Hydration

These lenses incorporate Aquaform Technology, which forms a bond with water, attracting and entrapping water molecules within the lens, retaining water and keeping lenses wet. Users, therefore, experience minimal dryness and irritation.

Since it moisturizes itself consistently, Aquaform Technology fuses both water-loving and water-repelling forces in an approach that prevents lenses from drying too rapidly or getting too moist. This makes these lenses some of the best options for somebody who needs to use contact lenses through the day.

Majority of customer reviews indicate that a good number of users have reported a significant decrease in symptoms of dryness while using the contact lenses.

These Biofinity Multifocal lenses combine a special silicone with a hydrogen bond system, creating a naturally hydrophilic lens surface. As a result, the hydrophilic nature of these bonds attracts and holds water molecules to the lens surface, providing moisture and comfort.

This technology provides a solution that works for those who quite frequently experience dry eyes, hence enabling one to wear the devices even in low-humidity environments or air-conditioned spaces.

UV Blocking

One of the drawbacks of the Biofinity Multifocal lenses is that they do not allow for UV protection. They lack in providing protection to the eyes from UVA and UVB rays. Wearing UV-blocking sunglasses is advised to help protect the eyes while in the sun.

This lack of UV protection is a major drawback for those who spend a considerable amount of time outside and requires extra cautionary measures to be taken.

If it does not have UV protection, then one has to compensate for that with other solutions in eyewear, which can be a little pain but most essential for keeping optimal eye health against ultraviolet exposure.

Of note, UV rays contribute to the formation of cataracts and many other eye problems. Whereas most other lenses on the market presently include protection from UV rays, the lack of this feature in Biofinity lenses may require you to rethink overall strategies of protecting your eye.

Vision correction and comfort aside, UV safety must actively be taken care of in other ways.

Usage

These multifocal lenses from Biofinity are monthly disposables. That means you can wear them every day for up to 30 days.  In fact, you can also continuously wear them for a maximum of seven days and six nights, subject to approval of an eye care professional.

This attribute makes the lenses versatile and suitable for those with irregular schedules or who are often on the road.  What strikes is the consistency in comfort, even after their extended wear—all kudos to the advanced hydration and quality materials that are used in these lenses.

Having the option to wear them nonstop for a complete seven days is just unbeatable when it comes to convenience, especially for people who are constantly on the go and have unpredictable routines.

It is always recommended that you consult an eye care professional before going ahead with extended wear, for your own safety and the best health of your eyes. This should be a prudent practice by all users.

Comfort

There are several technologies combined to give the comfort of the lens:

• Aquaform technology provides these lenses natural moisturizing capabilities while the rounded edge design smoothen the lenses to enable it to limit eyelid interaction.
• High oxygen permeability contributes to great overall health of the eye.
• Good hydration and low friction with the eyelid provide comfort all day for wearers.

The design minimizes irritation to the eyelid so that people with sensitive eyes can stand these lenses easily.

Many of those users who have reviewed the lenses believe that this combination enables one to wear them comfortably for an extended period.  Studies show that high oxygen transmission is important to prevent corneal hypoxia and associated problems.

The material and design of the lenses are focused on user comfort, so one can use them to enjoy clear vision without a change in daily activities.

As such, patients have come out to praise Biofinity Multifocal lenses for being able to offer their continuous comfort even in dry or challenging environments.

Our Final Recommendation

Biofinity Multifocal lenses bring comfort, good transition between visions, and moisture is maintained at a very high level. However, these lenses lead to high costs and come without UV protection.

In a nutshell, these lenses are a good option for anyone in need of proper correction of presbyopia without respect to the issue of compromising comfort. Consider your needs in terms of lifestyle and balance out the pros against the cons in your favor.

With advanced features servicing such a large range of needs, the lenses would generally be favorable for long-term use—provided you remember their limitations.
