Quick answer
Choose Biofinity Multifocal if you want a higher water content silicone hydrogel lens for all-day comfort; choose Proclear Multifocal if you prioritize a lower price and have a history of dry eyes.
Material and comfort differences
The main difference between these two monthly multifocal lenses comes down to their material. Biofinity Multifocal uses comfilcon A, a silicone hydrogel with 52% water content, which allows more oxygen to reach your eyes—a key factor for long wear. Proclear Multifocal uses omafilcon B, a hydrogel with 38% water content, which is lower in oxygen but known for its moisture-retaining properties.
If you have sensitive eyes or spend long hours in front of screens, the higher water content of Biofinity may feel more comfortable initially. However, Proclear's material is designed to attract and retain moisture, which can be beneficial if you experience dryness later in the day.
Price and value
Proclear Multifocal is the more budget-friendly option, priced at $102.40 per box compared to Biofinity Multifocal at $107.45. While the difference seems small, it adds up over a year—especially if you wear lenses daily and need four boxes annually.
Both lenses are monthly disposables, so you'll replace them every month. The annual supply for each is four boxes, meaning you'll need to factor in the cost of four boxes per year. If budget is your primary concern, Proclear offers a slightly lower upfront cost.
How to decide between the two
- Comfort priority: If you value maximum oxygen transmission and all-day comfort, choose Biofinity Multifocal for its silicone hydrogel material.
- Budget priority: If you want to save on each box, Proclear Multifocal is slightly cheaper and still offers reliable monthly replacement.
- Dry eye sensitivity: If you experience dryness, Proclear's omafilcon B material is designed to retain moisture, but Biofinity's higher water content may also help. Try a trial pair of each to see which feels better on your eyes before committing to a full supply.
