Can I Wear Biofinity Toric Lenses If I Have Both Astigmatism and Dry Eyes?

Dry eyes and astigmatism frequently occur together. Biofinity Toric is regularly recommended for this group of wearers — for reasons rooted in both its material chemistry and moisture mechanism.

Why Lower Water Content Can Help Dry Eye Wearers

Counterintuitively, lower water content lenses are often better for dry eye sufferers. High water content lenses draw moisture from the tear film to maintain their hydration — creating a drying cycle for wearers with limited or compromised tear films. Biofinity Toric uses Comfilcon A with 48% water content — moisture-stable without placing high demand on the tear film.

Aquaform® Technology's Role

Aquaform® Technology creates natural wettability throughout the lens material at the molecular level — without surface coatings that can degrade over 30 days. The lens surface remains hydrophilic consistently from day 1 to day 30, reducing end-of-cycle dryness. The high Dk/t of 160 also supports healthy corneal oxygenation, which maintains the surface cell health that underlies natural tear film production.

Important Considerations

• • Mild to moderate dryness alongside astigmatism is often well managed with Biofinity Toric
• • Significant dry eye disease may require daily disposable lenses, lubricating drops, or targeted treatment
• • Always confirm with your eye care professional whether Biofinity Toric is appropriate for your specific dry eye situation
