Astigmatism makes lens shopping annoying - not every "comfortable" contact actually holds its orientation through a long workday. I ordered a 6-pack of Biofinity Toric monthlies through Blue Planet Optics to see if the CooperVision reputation held up.
These are made from Comfilcon A with 48% water content, using CooperVision's Aquaform Comfort Science. In practice, that translated to noticeably less dryness by hour eight or nine compared to a previous toric brand I'd used. The lens also held its rotation well, so my vision stayed sharp instead of drifting blurry when I looked around quickly.
Checkout was straightforward, and the 6-pack landed at $70.95 on sale versus $80.00 regular. One important note: a valid, current prescription is required to purchase - Blue Planet Optics does verify this, so have your astigmatism axis and power details ready from your eye doctor.
Pros: Excellent all-day comfort thanks to the water-gradient design, stable rotation for consistent vision, monthly replacement is easy to keep track of, competitive sale pricing.
Cons: No UV-blocking built into the lens, so you'll still want sunglasses outdoors - and as with any contact lens, don't skip your eye doctor's guidance on wear time and prescription accuracy.
If you already have a Biofinity Toric prescription, ordering through Blue Planet Optics was smooth and the lenses themselves held up to a full day of screen time and errands.
