All About RGP Contact Lenses

You asked about RGP contact lenses... These are Rigid Gas-Permeable Contact Lenses, often called GP lenses (gas permeable) or oxygen permeable contact lenses. They're all the same thing.

Let me tell you about rgp contact lenses, then.

RGP lenses were first introduced in 1981. These Rigid Gas Permeable contacts are much more comfortable than the old hard contact lenses from the 1960s.

You can wear RGP lenses in your eyes longer than soft contact lenses, since Gas Permeable lenses let oxygen get to your eye. That was a major problem with the old 'hard' lenses, which didn't let the oxygen through.

RGP contact lenses are the most 'state-of-the-art' contact lenses you can buy in this day and age.

Rigid Gas Permeable contact lenses last longer than 'soft' lenses and are easier to keep clean. RGP contact lenses are also tougher than soft lenses, and harder to damage... But they take more getting used to when you first start wearing them.
