CooperVision’s MyDay® toric lenses combine the proven optic design features of Biofinity® toric with the premium silicone hydrogel 1-day material of MyDay®. This revered toric technology, called Optimized Toric Lens Geometry™, provides uniform horizontal iso-thickness, a large toric optic zone, a smooth, continuous ballast and an optimized ballast toric design for a stable, comfortable fit.
In addition, the MyDay® family of lenses is made with Aquaform® Technology, which provides a unique balance of high oxygen permeability, a naturally wettable material, and optimum modulus for increased breathability and moisture in a soft, flexible lens. The lens provides ease of insertion and built-in UV blocking (86% of UVA and 97% of UVB rays*), helping to minimise the transmission of harmful UV rays.
To help streamline the fitting process and minimize chair time, CooperVision also offers the OptiExpert™ fitting app.5 The easy-to-use app includes a toric calculator which calculates and suggests the recommended diagnostic CooperVision toric contact lens for your patient.
