Quick answer
For astigmatism, choose Biofinity Toric for standard prescriptions or Biofinity Toric XR if you need higher cylinder power. Both use the same comfilcon A material for comfort.
Why the monthly toric lens type matters
Monthly toric contacts correct astigmatism by having different powers in different meridians of the lens. The specific design and power range you need depend on your prescription. Choosing the right variant—standard or extended range (XR)—is key to clear vision and stable fit.
Material and comfort trade-offs
Both Biofinity Toric and Biofinity Toric XR use comfilcon A, a high-water-content silicone hydrogel that allows more oxygen to reach your eyes. This material is the same across both products, so comfort level is similar. The trade-off is that the XR variant costs more per box because it covers a wider range of astigmatism corrections.
Decision rules
- Check your prescription's cylinder power: Look at the 'CYL' value on your contact lens prescription. If it falls within the standard range (typically up to -2.25 or +2.25, depending on the brand), the standard Biofinity Toric should work. If it is higher, choose the Biofinity Toric XR.
- Compare annual supply costs: An annual supply of Biofinity Toric requires 4 boxes (24 lenses). The XR variant costs about 60% more per box. Calculate your total yearly cost before deciding. Use the catalog price difference to estimate your annual expense.
- Confirm lens availability for your axis: Toric lenses also require an axis value. Verify that the lens brand you choose offers your axis. Both Biofinity Toric and XR cover a wide axis range, but check before ordering.
