Stability. Reputation. Comfort: the Biofinity® toric and MyDay® toric Connection

Soft toric lens prescribing continues to rise in the U.S. and globally, with modern designs delivering stability, clear vision, and expanded parameter options for patients with astigmatism.1-3

When selecting a toric lens, it’s important to remember: Biofinity® toric is the most recommended reusable soft toric lens worldwide4 and the most prescribed toric lens on the market.5 For patients who prefer a daily disposable toric, MyDay® toric shares several of the same technologies. These include Optimized Toric Lens Geometry™ which provides a stable fit, minimal lens movement and clear vision;6 and Aquaform® Technology, an innovative material technology, that hydrates contact lenses to twice their weight in water for natural wettability and incredible comfort.6

“The Biofinity® toric lens has an unparalleled amount of parameter availability7 so that I can be sure that I'll be able to fit any of my astigmatic patients into a soft contact lens option,”8 says Dr. Micaela Crowley, OD, of Lexington Eye Associates. “MyDay® toric is my go-to daily disposable toric contact lens because it has a lot of parameters available.9 It's going to settle quickly and provide my patients with clear and comfortable vision all day.”6

A Simple Switch

Switching patients from Biofinity® toric to MyDay® toric is a seamless process, says Ashley McFerron, OD, of Canby Eyecare.

Prescribe with Confidence

ECPs can also achieve the same level of prescribing confidence with MyDay® toric as they do with Biofinity® toric, explains Dr. Patrick Wellik of Apple Valley Eye Care.*†10

Benefits of Soft Torics for the Patient and the Practice

Patients love going from a Biofinity® toric to a MyDay® toric lens because it’s essentially the same lens‡ that provides them with the convenience and comfort§ of a daily disposable option,11§  Dr. Crowley says.

 

“From a business perspective, the MyDay® toric is going to allow me to put my patients into a lens that’s going to keep them in contact lenses long-term, because with a daily disposable contact lens option, you'll have  better comfort,§11 and improved wearing experiences for the patient.”12
