CooperVision, Inc. has launched Biofinity Energys to help the millions of digital device users deal with discomfort associated with long hours of screen use. Discomfort is characterized by tiredness, dryness and redness.

Biofinity Energys is a contact lens designed for all-day wear and uses a two-fold approach to combat device-induced discomfort: Multiple front-surface (aspheric curves) across the entire optical zone simulate positive power in the center of the lens, which helps reduce strain on eye muscles as a wearer's gaze repeatedly moves from screen to off-screen and back.
In addition to this optimized lens design, the company's Aquaform Technology is said to attract and bind water throughout the lens material. This serves to retain moisture even during times of reduced blinking, which is common with screen use.
After one week of wear, eight of ten digital device users agreed that Biofinity Energys lenses made their eyes feel less tired, according to CooperVision. The lens is designed for monthly replacement, and a phased rollout for the United States begins in July.
