What Is Biofinity XR?

Biofinity XR is an extended-range monthly contact lens from CooperVision for wearers with stronger single-vision prescriptions that standard Biofinity does not fully cover. It belongs to the Biofinity family and uses comfilcon A silicone hydrogel with Aquaform Technology, the same material platform used in standard Biofinity. The XR part refers to its wider sphere power range, reaching high plus and high minus powers beyond the standard Biofinity range. It is made for nearsightedness or farsightedness, not astigmatism or presbyopia, and should not replace toric or multifocal Biofinity lenses. A current prescription must name Biofinity XR, since fit, base curve, diameter, power range, and wearing schedule need eye doctor approval.

Biofinity XR Lens Design For Stronger Prescriptions

Biofinity XR helps wearers whose sphere powers sit outside the standard Biofinity range. It keeps the monthly silicone hydrogel design familiar, while adding broader plus and minus power options for people who need more prescription coverage than standard monthly spherical lenses can give.

• Biofinity XR is made by CooperVision as part of the Biofinity monthly lens family.
• The lens uses comfilcon A silicone hydrogel with 48% water content.
• Aquaform Technology retains water from core to surface without a separate surface coating.
• Biofinity XR corrects myopia or hyperopia with spherical power only.
• The listed sphere range reaches +15.00D to -20.00D in 0.50D steps after +/-6.00D.
• The lens lists an 8.6 base curve and 14.0 diameter.
• Biofinity XR is sold in 6-pack blister boxes for monthly replacement planning.
• Daily wear or up to 6 nights and 7 days of extended wear requires eye doctor approval.

Broad prescription coverage is the reason Biofinity XR exists, but the lens still follows normal contact lens rules. Wearers need an exact prescription match, proper replacement timing, and doctor guidance for any overnight wear from first wear through monthly replacement.

How The Extended Range Differs From Standard Biofinity

Standard Biofinity covers a broad range of common single-vision prescriptions, while Biofinity XR stretches into stronger plus and minus powers. That makes Biofinity XR useful when your prescription sits outside the standard Biofinity range, but you still want a monthly spherical lens. The product keeps the same 8.6 base curve and 14.0 diameter listed for Biofinity, though thickness varies by prescription. A higher prescription can affect lens feel, visual balance, and ordering accuracy. Your eye doctor should confirm that Biofinity XR gives stable vision before you buy a larger supply.
