Bioflex Contact Lenses

Some Bioflex contacts are private-label versions of national-brand lenses, so the name on the box may not look exactly like the name you ordered. For example, Bioflex 55 Premier is tied to Biomedics 55 Premier Asphere, and Bioflex Toric is tied to Biomedics Toric.

A different box doesn't automatically mean the wrong lenses were sent. The lens should still line up with the Bioflex product, lens design, and prescription details used for your order.

Before opening the box, compare:

• The Bioflex lens you ordered with the equivalent lens name shown on the box
• The power, base curve, and diameter
• The lens type, such as toric contacts if you have astigmatism
• The prescription details for your right eye and left eye

If the brand name, lens type, or prescription details don't line up with your order, contact Lens.com customer service before opening the package.

If you order Bioflex contacts, your order could arrive in Biomedics packaging. That doesn't automatically mean you received the wrong lenses.

Some Bioflex lenses are the same contacts as their national-brand equivalents. When that's the case, the contacts inside are the same; only the box is different. The product should still match the lens design and prescription details used for your order.

A different box is usually fine when:

• The national-brand lens is listed as the same as your Bioflex lens
• The prescription details match your order
• The lens type matches your prescription, such as toric for astigmatism

If the brand name, lens type, or prescription details don't match what you expected, check your order details before opening the box.

A contact lens prescription has more details than a glasses prescription. The brand name matters, but the lens measurements matter too. Even small differences can affect how the lens fits, moves, and feels on your eye.

For Bioflex 55 Premier, check:

• Lens name or approved equivalent
• Power
• Base curve
• Diameter
• Replacement schedule

For Bioflex Toric, check:

• Lens name or approved equivalent
• Power
• Cylinder
• Axis
• Base curve
• Diameter
• Replacement schedule

Toric lenses need extra care when ordering because cylinder and axis correct astigmatism. If those numbers are wrong, the lens won't correct your vision the way it should.

Bioflex 55 Premier and Bioflex Toric are 2-week contact lenses. They're usually worn during the day, removed before sleep, cleaned, stored, and replaced every two weeks.

They're not daily disposable lenses. Daily disposables are worn once and thrown away at the end of the day. Bioflex 55 Premier and Bioflex Toric are reusable lenses, so they need proper cleaning and storage after each wear.

Don't sleep in Bioflex contacts unless your eye care professional specifically prescribed overnight contact lenses. Wearing contacts longer than directed can raise the risk of irritation, discomfort, or eye infection.

Some Bioflex-related lenses have been discontinued by the manufacturer, so certain prescriptions are harder to find. Older Bioflex products, such as Bioflex 55, Bioflex 38, and Bioflex 1 Day, are no longer as widely available.

If your Bioflex contacts are out of stock, don't guess at a substitute. Two contact lenses can have the same power but still fit differently. Lens material, base curve, diameter, thickness, edge design, and oxygen flow all affect how a contact lens sits on your eye.

Before switching, ask your eye care professional whether you should:

• Order the approved national-brand equivalent
• Try a newer lens with a similar prescription
• Schedule a refit for a different contact lens brand

A refit is especially helpful if your old Bioflex lens has been discontinued or your eyes haven't been checked recently.

Bioflex Toric is made for people with astigmatism. Astigmatism happens when the eye has an uneven curve, which can make vision look blurry, shadowed, or stretched.

Contact lenses for astigmatism are shaped differently from standard spherical lenses. They're designed to sit in a steady position so the astigmatism correction lines up with your eye. That's why Bioflex Toric prescriptions include cylinder and axis, not just power.

When ordering Bioflex Toric, pay close attention to:

• Cylinder: the amount of astigmatism correction
• Axis: the direction of the astigmatism correction
• Base curve and diameter: the fit of the lens on your eye

If your Bioflex Toric prescription is unavailable, ask your eye care professional about a newer toric lens. Don't switch to a non-toric lens unless your eye care professional changes your prescription.

Ordering Bioflex contacts online is simple once you have the right prescription details. Use your contact lens prescription, not your glasses prescription.

1. Find the lens name on your prescription
   Look for Bioflex 55 Premier, Bioflex Toric, Biomedics 55 Premier Asphere, Biomedics Toric, or another approved equivalent. Bioflex lenses can be sold under different packaging, so the lens name and equivalent matter.
2. Match the prescription details for each eye
   Check the power, base curve, and diameter before adding lenses to your cart. If you're ordering Bioflex Toric, also match the cylinder and axis.
3. Check the replacement schedule
   Bioflex 55 Premier and Bioflex Toric are two-week replacement lenses. They're worn during the day, removed before sleep, cleaned, stored, and replaced on schedule.
4. Choose your boxes
   Select the right quantity for each eye. If your right and left eyes have different prescriptions, enter each one separately.
5. Enter your eye doctor's information
   Lens.com verifies prescriptions with eye care providers when required. Adding your doctor's details can help keep your order moving.
6. Don't substitute lenses on your own
   If your Bioflex lens or prescription strength isn't available, check with your eye care professional before choosing another lens. Contacts with the same power can still fit differently.
