Thanks to today’s digital lifestyles, contact lens wearers’ lives and eyes are constantly moving between on-screen and off-screen activities.

  • More than 90% of adults use digital devices more than two hours a day1 and nearly 60 percent of adults use digital devices for greater than five hours per day1.
  • Research conducted by Indiana University cited that among individuals using such devices, greater than 75% report eye tiredness and dryness at least once per week or more, and 35% once per day or more.2

Sustained focus on close-up digital devices strains the eye’s accommodative system. That’s where Digital Zone Optics™ lens design can help.

Digital Zone Optics is a breakthrough lens design for sphere lens wearers that use digital devices. Digital Zone Optics lens design helps ease accommodative burden as wearers move their gaze from on-screen to off-screen and back with less effort.

How it works

  • Multiple front-surface aspheric curves are employed across the entire optical zone.
  • These curves distribute power evenly to simulate more positive power in the center of the lens.

As a result, Digital Zone Optics lens design helps ease accommodative burden without impacting distance vision.

You’ll find Digital Zone Optics in Biofinity Energys™ contact lenses.

Patent-pending CooperVision® Biofinity Energys contact lense are designed for all-day wear, helping people’s eyes better adapt so they can seamlessly and continuously shift focus between digital devices and offline activities.

After one week of wear, 8 out of 10 digital device users agreed that Biofinity Energys lenses made their eyes feel less tired3

And Biofinity Energys lenses fit like a single-vision lens. They’re a new breakthrough for sphere lens wearers.

Ask your sphere patients about their digital device use. Biofinity Energys lenses with Digital Zone Optics are designed for their digital lifestyles.
