CooperVision announces the launch of their unique contact lens innovation with MyDay Energys® which is now available to eye care professionals (ECPs) in Canada. MyDay Energys® is the first and only 1-day contact lens combining an innovative aspheric design and material technology to help eye tiredness and dryness associated with digital eye strain, providing extraordinary comfort1 for how patients live today.
Prolonged digital device use is part of everyday life, with adults spending an average of 11 hours a day on digital devices2—and more than 67% reporting that they use two or more devices simultaneously3—which can result in eyes feeling strained and uncomfortable.4
MyDay Energys® features DigitalBoost™, an innovative single vision aspheric design that delivers a +0.3D boost, which may help ease strain on internal eye muscles so the wearer can shift focus from on-screen to off-screen with less effort.*4 This design is combined with Aquaform® Technology, which hydrates contact lenses to twice their weight in water6 for natural wettability and incredible comfort, helping eyes feel less dry, even during times of reduced blinking. Both DigitalBoost™ and Aquaform® Technology are also present in CooperVision’s groundbreaking Biofinity Energys® monthly contact lenses.
“As digital device use and preference for 1 day contact lenses have continued to increase, CooperVision truly anticipated the need for MyDay Energys® in today’s digital world. Our application of the Energys® technology across both monthly and 1-day modalities helps practitioners meet the needs of more patients,” said Michele Andrews, OD, Vice President, Marketing and Professional Affairs Americas, CooperVision. “In MyDay Energys®, the combination of DigitalBoost™ and Aquaform® Technology uniquely addresses both eye tiredness and dryness—two symptoms commonly associated with digital eye strain—while also providing all the benefits of a 1 day lens.”
In a clinical study, patients agreed that when wearing MyDay Energys®, their eyes stay comfortable and relaxed throughout the day, despite frequently viewing digital devices.**1 The wearers also agreed that MyDay Energys® made their eyes feel less tired,† and their vision was less blurry‡.1
Like the other contact lenses in CooperVision’s MyDay® family, MyDay Energys® includes built-in UV blocking (86% of UVA and 97% of UVB rays), helping to protect the eye from the transmission of harmful UV rays҂.
MyDay Energys® is the latest addition to CooperVision’s popular MyDay® family, which includes MyDay® sphere, MyDay® toric, and MyDay® multifocal contact lenses. MyDay Energys® is available in sphere powers of +8.00D to -12.00D (0.50D steps after +5.00D and -6.00D), with no plano option.
“With the MyDay® portfolio, you can fit so many patients between the sphere, the expanded toric parameters, and the multifocal,” said Sahil Dosaj, OD, who practices at Miller Optometry in Yucaipa, Calif. “Now, MyDay Energys® is another option with additional benefits we can offer our patients. Everyone uses digital devices, so with many sphere wearers—this is the lens for them.”

҂WARNING UV-absorbing contact lenses are NOT substitutes for protective UV-absorbing eyewear, such as UV-absorbing goggles or sunglasses, because they do not completely cover the eye and surrounding area. Persons should continue to use UV-absorbing eyewear as directed.
