DigitalBoost Technology in MyDay Energys contacts uses an aspheric optical design with a +0.3D power boost to help reduce eye tiredness associated with digital device use. Developed by CooperVision, this feature is intended to ease the eyes’ focusing demands when looking at phones, tablets, and computer screens.
MyDay Energys also incorporates Aquaform Technology for moisture-related comfort. These two technologies address different aspects of screen-related eye discomfort, making the lenses worth considering for people who spend considerable time using digital devices.
Why Does Screen Time Make Your Eyes Feel Tired?
Your eyes constantly adjust their focus when viewing nearby screens. The ciliary muscles control this process, called accommodation, by changing the shape of the eye’s natural lens. Extended screen use can contribute to several symptoms.
- Eye Tiredness
- Prolonged near focusing keeps the eyes working to maintain clear vision.
- Headaches
- Extended close-up work can contribute to discomfort around the eyes and forehead.
- Temporary Blurred Vision
- Switching between nearby screens and distant objects can briefly affect clarity.
- Dryness
- Reduced or incomplete blinking during screen use increases tear evaporation.
These symptoms are associated with digital eye strain, although focusing demands and tear-film changes have different causes.
What Is DigitalBoost Technology in MyDay Energys Contacts?
DigitalBoost Technology is CooperVision’s single-vision aspheric lens design with a +0.3D optical boost. It’s incorporated into MyDay Energys contact lenses to help reduce focusing effort during digital device use.
Among aspheric contact lenses, DigitalBoost uses multiple aspheric curves to introduce additional positive optical power toward the lens’s center. This feature helps with near focusing without changing the wearer’s distance prescription.
How Does the +0.3D DigitalBoost Help With Near Focusing?
The +0.3D boost adds a small amount of positive optical power to the lens’s central region. When you’re reading on a phone or working at a computer, this added power is designed to reduce the effort your eyes expend to maintain focus.
It’s built into a single-vision lens and doesn’t function like a conventional reading-glasses prescription or multifocal correction.
Aspheric Lens Design vs. Standard Spherical Contacts
Spherical contacts have a consistent surface curvature, while aspheric lenses incorporate curvature changes that affect optical power distribution.
DigitalBoost uses multiple aspheric curves to create its +0.3D near boost. Standard MyDay Daily Disposable lenses also use aspheric optics, but their Aberration Neutralizing System has a different purpose.
How DigitalBoost Helps When Switching Between Screens and Distant Objects
Looking away from your phone to see someone across the room requires a change in focus. DigitalBoost is intended to ease near-focusing demands during these activities, potentially reducing eye tiredness.
Visual results depend on prescription accuracy, lens fit, and individual focusing responses. Persistent blur or headaches should be assessed by an eye doctor.
What Does Research Say About DigitalBoost Technology and Eye Tiredness?
A CooperVision-reported comparative study involving 24 young adults examined Biofinity Energys, which also incorporates DigitalBoost Technology, against standard Biofinity lenses. Participants wearing Biofinity Energys showed reduced accommodative microfluctuations, or small variations in eye focusing, and reported less eye tiredness during computer use.
The study involved Biofinity Energys rather than MyDay Energys. Its small sample also limits broader conclusions, and the results don’t establish that DigitalBoost prevents every cause of digital eye strain.
How Does Aquaform Technology Contribute to MyDay Energys Lens Comfort?
MyDay Energys belongs to the 1-day silicone hydrogel contact lenses category and incorporates Aquaform Technology to help maintain moisture within its stenfilcon A material. The lenses contain 54% water and have an oxygen transmissibility of 100 Dk/t at -3.00D.
DigitalBoost addresses focusing demands, while Aquaform focuses on moisture-related comfort. These technologies serve different purposes, and neither treats underlying eye conditions.
MyDay Energys vs. MyDay Daily Disposable Contacts
Among CooperVision Daily contacts, MyDay Energys and MyDay Daily Disposable contact lenses share the same lens material, water content, and replacement schedule. Their main difference is the optical design.
| Feature | MyDay Energys | MyDay Daily Disposable |
|---|---|---|
| Optical Design | DigitalBoost aspheric design | Aberration Neutralizing System |
| +0.3D DigitalBoost | Yes | No |
| Material | Stenfilcon A | Stenfilcon A |
| Water Content | 54% | 54% |
| Aquaform Technology | Yes | Yes |
| Replacement | Daily disposable | Daily disposable |
MyDay Energys incorporates a near-focusing feature designed for digital device users. An eye doctor can determine which lens better suits your visual needs.

Who Should Consider MyDay Energys Contacts?
MyDay Energys is designed for single-vision lens wearers who spend considerable time using computers, smartphones, or tablets. People experiencing screen-related eye tiredness can discuss DigitalBoost Technology with their eye doctor.
A professional fitting determines prescription compatibility and suitability. Wearers who need astigmatism or presbyopia correction can discuss separate products, including MyDay Daily Disposable Toric and MyDay Daily Disposable Multifocal contacts.
Common Questions About MyDay Energys and DigitalBoost Technology
Are MyDay Energys Contacts Multifocal?
No. MyDay Energys is a single-vision lens with a +0.3D DigitalBoost optical feature. It isn’t designed to correct presbyopia.
Does DigitalBoost Technology Block Blue Light?
No. DigitalBoost works through optical design rather than blue-light filtering. MyDay Energys has UV-blocking properties, which shouldn’t be confused with filtering visible blue light.
Can MyDay Energys Contacts Correct Digital Eye Strain?
MyDay Energys is designed to help reduce screen-related eye tiredness. It doesn’t treat every cause of digital eye strain, including dryness or uncorrected vision problems.
Can You Sleep in MyDay Energys Contacts?
No. MyDay Energys lenses are daily disposables intended for daytime wear. Remove and discard them before sleeping to reduce the risk of eye infections.
DigitalBoost Technology gives MyDay Energys a +0.3D aspheric optical boost designed for near-focusing demands. Combined with Aquaform Technology, it addresses both focusing-related eye tiredness and lens moisture. Your eye doctor can assess whether these lenses suit your prescription and daily activities.
