CooperVision Contact Lenses

Why CooperVision Lenses Perform So Well

• Aquaform® Comfort Science: Used in the Biofinity family, this creates a naturally hydrophilic lens that binds water molecules within the lens material itself — no surface treatments required. The moisture is part of the material, not applied on top of it, which is why Biofinity lenses stay consistently comfortable through the full monthly wearing cycle rather than drying out toward the end.
• PC Technology™: Featured in the Proclear 1 Day family, this incorporates phosphorylcholine molecules — a lipid that occurs naturally in healthy cell membranes — into the lens material. These molecules attract and retain water throughout the wearing period. Proclear is one of the only contact lens families in the world with US FDA approval specifically for patients who experience discomfort associated with dry eyes.
• Digital Zone Optics™: Exclusive to Biofinity Energys, this lens design adds extra power across the front surface to reduce the strain your eyes experience when repeatedly shifting focus between near screens and distance. For people who spend most of their working day on computers or devices, this addresses a specific type of visual fatigue that a standard spherical lens simply doesn't account for.
• MyDay Smart Silicone™ Chemistry: Used in the MyDay daily range, this achieves exceptionally high oxygen transmissibility (Dk/t of 100) while using significantly less silicone than conventional silicone hydrogel lenses. Less silicone means a naturally wettable surface without coatings — keeping the lens comfortable throughout a full day of wear.
• High Oxygen Transmissibility: Across the Biofinity, MyDay, and clariti ranges, CooperVision's silicone hydrogel materials allow continuous, high-level oxygen flow to your cornea — keeping your eyes looking clear and white and supporting long-term eye health for regular lens wearers.
• UV Absorption: Many CooperVision lenses absorb up to 80% of ambient UV radiation. This is a meaningful supplementary layer of protection for your corneas every day, though it's not a substitute for UV-blocking sunglasses, which protect the full surface of your eye and surrounding skin.

Which CooperVision Lens Is Right For You?

• You want a reliable daily silicone hydrogel for general everyday wear: clariti 1 day is CooperVision's accessible daily silicone hydrogel — breathable, comfortable, and a meaningful step up from a standard hydrogel daily for standard wearing hours.
• You want a premium daily with exceptional breathability and a naturally wettable surface: MyDay uses Smart Silicone™ Chemistry to deliver high oxygen flow and all-day comfort without surface coatings. It's CooperVision's flagship daily and a strong alternative to DAILIES TOTAL1 or 1-Day ACUVUE OASYS for wearers seeking premium daily performance.
• You experience persistent dry or irritated eyes: Proclear 1 Day holds US FDA approval specifically for patients who experience discomfort associated with dry eyes. If dryness has been the reason you've struggled with lenses in the past, this is where your optometrist is likely to start.
• You want a premium, breathable monthly lens for everyday wear: Biofinity is one of the most widely prescribed monthly lenses in Australia — naturally wettable via Aquaform® Comfort Science, highly breathable, and consistent comfort across the full 30-day cycle.
• You spend most of your day on screens and your eyes feel strained or fatigued by afternoon: Biofinity Energys is specifically engineered for this situation. Digital Zone Optics™ reduces the accommodative effort your eyes make during prolonged screen use — ask your optometrist whether this could make a meaningful difference to how your eyes feel at the end of a working day.
• You have astigmatism and need stable, sharp vision throughout the day: Biofinity Toric, MyDay Toric, or Proclear 1 Day Toric — all designed to stay correctly positioned and deliver consistent, blur-free correction through an active day.
• You have presbyopia and want clear vision at near, intermediate, and distance without reaching for reading glasses: Biofinity Multifocal or Proclear 1 Day Multifocal — both use advanced optical designs to handle all focal distances in a single lens. Your optometrist can guide you on which suits your prescription and day-to-day visual demands.

(Note: Any transition to a new lens family or technology must be formally evaluated and prescribed by your optometrist.)

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Biofinity Energys different from standard Biofinity?
Biofinity is an excellent monthly silicone hydrogel built around Aquaform® Comfort Science — naturally wettable, breathable, and consistent across the full month. Biofinity Energys adds Digital Zone Optics™ to that foundation: a lens design that adds power across the front surface to reduce the accommodative effort your eyes make when repeatedly shifting focus between a screen and distance. If you wear standard Biofinity and notice your eyes feel tired or strained after long screen sessions, Biofinity Energys is worth discussing with your optometrist as a direct upgrade.

Do CooperVision lenses protect against UV rays?
Many CooperVision lenses absorb up to 80% of ambient UV radiation — a meaningful additional layer of daily protection for your corneas. That said, contact lenses don't cover the full surface of your eye or the surrounding skin, so they're not a substitute for UV-blocking sunglasses. Think of the UV protection in your lenses as a supplement to sunglasses, not a replacement for them.

Can I sleep in CooperVision contact lenses?
Biofinity lenses are approved for extended wear, including overnight use, due to their high oxygen transmissibility. However, sleeping in any contact lens — even one approved for extended wear — carries a meaningfully higher risk of infection than daily removal. This should only be done under explicit recommendation from your optometrist, not as a matter of convenience. Never sleep in MyDay, clariti 1 day, Proclear 1 Day, or any other daily lens.

What is the difference between MyDay and clariti 1 day?
Both are daily silicone hydrogel lenses made by CooperVision, but they're built for different needs. clariti 1 day is CooperVision's accessible daily silicone hydrogel — breathable, comfortable, and a solid choice for standard wearing hours. MyDay uses Smart Silicone™ Chemistry to achieve high oxygen transmissibility using significantly less silicone, resulting in a naturally wettable surface that doesn't require coatings. For wearers who want the most comfortable and breathable daily CooperVision offers — particularly for long wearing hours — MyDay is the stronger choice.

Are Proclear monthly lenses still available?
Proclear monthly lenses — including Proclear Sphere, Proclear Toric, and Proclear Multifocal — were discontinued by CooperVision as of December 2024. If you were a Proclear monthly wearer, CooperVision's recommended transition is to Biofinity or MyDay, both of which offer superior oxygen transmissibility and enhanced all-day comfort. The good news is that Proclear 1 Day and Proclear 1 Day Multifocal remain fully available — so if you rely on PC Technology™ for dry eye comfort, you still have a daily option that delivers the same moisture-retaining benefit. Speak to your optometrist about the most suitable transition for your prescription and wearing habits.

Is Proclear Multifocal Toric still available?
Proclear Multifocal Toric — which corrects both presbyopia and astigmatism in a single monthly lens — is currently in the final phase of its discontinuation. Proclear Multifocal Toric's remaining stock will be discontinued from November 2026. If you currently wear this lens, now is the time to speak to your optometrist about a transition plan before availability ends entirely. Biofinity Multifocal Toric is the closest available alternative, combining Aquaform® Comfort Science with a multifocal optical design for wearers who need both astigmatism and presbyopia correction in a monthly lens.

What is the difference between MyDay and clariti 1 day?
Both are daily silicone hydrogel lenses made by CooperVision, but they're built for different needs. clariti 1 day is CooperVision's accessible daily silicone hydrogel — breathable, comfortable, and a solid choice for standard wearing hours. MyDay uses Smart Silicone™ Chemistry to achieve high oxygen transmissibility using significantly less silicone, resulting in a naturally wettable surface that doesn't require coatings. For wearers who want the most comfortable and breathable daily CooperVision offers — particularly for long wearing hours — MyDay is the stronger choice.
