Upgrade or Original? Biofinity Energys vs. Biofinity
21st Oct 2024
What’s the real difference between Biofinity and Biofinity Energys? Both lenses offer exceptional comfort and breathability, but Biofinity Energys goes further with technology to tackle eye strain from heavy screen use.
Let’s break down the key differences so you can pick the right lens for your needs.
Quick Comparison: Biofinity vs. Biofinity Energys
While the core material, design, and comfort features remain the same across both lenses, the most significant difference lies in Digital Zone Optics™ Technology in Biofinity Energys.
The technology helps ease eye strain by making it smoother for your eyes to shift focus between digital screens and the world around you. If you spend long hours on devices, it’s designed to combat fatigue and dryness—common issues that arise from reduced blinking while concentrating on screens for extended periods.
It's particularly beneficial for people experiencing computer vision syndrome or digital eye strain.
According to CooperVision's internal studies - 8 out of 10 digital device users reported that the Digital Zone Optics™ design reduced eye fatigue and helped their eyes switch comfortably between screens and other activities. Additionally, 9 out of 10 users felt that the lenses improved their overall eye comfort, relieving dryness and strain after extended screen use.
What Biofinity and Biofinity Energys Have in Common
Technology
Both Biofinity and Biofinity Energys use CooperVision's Aquaform® Comfort Science™, which keeps your eyes comfortable all day by locking in moisture, allowing oxygen to flow freely, and resisting deposits that could cause irritation. This advanced design ensures the lenses stay soft, breathable, and comfortable throughout daily wear.
Comfort and fit
Both lenses feature a low modulus (soft and flexible design), making them comfortable to wear for extended periods. The lenses have a smooth, rounded edge, reducing friction and improving comfort for all-day wear.
Wearing schedule and flexibility
Biofinity and Biofinity Energys are approved for daily use or extended wear (up to 6 nights/7 days continuously with optometrist approval) and follow a monthly replacement schedule.
Wrapping Up
Both lenses deliver excellent comfort and performance with Aquaform® Technology, but if digital screens are a big part of your daily routine, Biofinity Energys can offer extra relief. That said, it’s important to consult your optometrist to make sure the lenses align with your specific needs. They can help you decide whether the benefits of Digital Zone Optics™ are right for you or if standard Biofinity lenses will provide the comfort and performance you’re looking for just as effectively.
