What are Rigid Gas Permeable lenses?

RGP lenses are durable, oxygen-permeable contact lenses that provide sharp vision and are custom-fitted to the shape of your eye.

How long does the fitting process take?

The fitting typically involves an initial exam and several follow-up visits over a few weeks to ensure the lenses fit comfortably and provide clear vision.

Are RGP lenses suitable for all eye types?

RGP lenses are especially beneficial for patients with astigmatism, keratoconus, or those who need sharper vision than soft lenses can provide.

Will I experience discomfort wearing RGP lenses?

Some initial adaptation time is normal, but with proper fitting and care, most patients find RGP lenses comfortable for daily wear.

How do I care for my RGP lenses?

Proper cleaning and storage with recommended solutions are essential to maintain lens clarity and eye health; your eye care specialist will provide detailed instructions.
