RGP (Rigid Gas Permeable)
Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) lenses are a type of durable, hard contact lens made from a firm, oxygen-permeable material. Unlike soft lenses, they maintain their shape on the eye and provide crisp vision correction. RGPs allow more oxygen to reach the cornea, promoting healthier eyes. They are often custom-made to fit individual eye shapes, offering better correction for complex prescriptions, astigmatism, and irregular corneas. While they may take some time to get used to, they typically offer good durability and clear vision, and they can last longer with proper care compared to soft lenses.
