RGP Lenses

FOR KERATOCONUS

AND IRREGULAR CORNEA

WHAT ARE RGP LENSES ?

Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses are a type of contact lens made from durable, oxygen-permeable materials that allow your eyes to breathe, providing clear and crisp vision. Unlike soft contact lenses, RGP lenses retain their shape on the eye, which helps correct refractive errors more precisely. These lenses are custom-made to fit the unique curvature of your eye, making them a great option for people with complex prescriptions, astigmatism, or keratoconus. Though they may take some time to get used to, their long-term benefits and durability make them an excellent choice for many individuals.

How RGP Lenses Work

​​

​​RGP lenses maintain their shape on the eye, providing sharper and more stable vision compared to soft lenses. They allow oxygen to reach the cornea, which helps reduce the risk of infections and discomfort. Their rigid structure improves vision, especially for individuals with irregular corneas.

Who Needs RGP Lenses?

​​

RGP lenses are ideal for people with conditions like keratoconus, astigmatism, or other corneal irregularities. They are also suitable for those with high prescriptions or who require precise vision correction. Additionally, individuals who struggle with comfort in soft lenses may benefit from RGP lenses.

SEE THE DIFFERENCE
LIFE BEFORE & AFTER WITH RGP LENSES

Before wearing RGP lenses, keratoconus patients often deal with significant visual distortion, ghosting, and glare that conventional glasses or soft contacts can't fix. After being fitted with RGP lenses, many experience a dramatic improvement in visual clarity and detail, as the rigid lens surface helps mask corneal irregularities. While they may require some adaptation, the visual sharpness they provide can be life-changing.

WHY RGP CONTACT LENSES ?

RGP lenses provide superior vision quality by maintaining their shape on the eye, ensuring sharp and consistent vision. Unlike soft lenses, they do not conform to corneal irregularities, reducing distortions and halos. This makes them ideal for individuals with astigmatism, keratoconus, or high prescriptions, delivering clearer, crisper vision compared to traditional soft contact lenses.
