Condensed Reviews on RGP Contact Lenses

RPG contact lenses correct Astigmatism, which is a defect of the eye which makes objects look indistinct or imperfect. it is quite different from short sightedness or long sightedness. Having astigmatism used to mean wearing heavy glasses with thick 'coke bottle' lenses.

Pros: RGP (gas permeable) lenses are easy to care for and healthier for your eyes than soft contact lenses or old 'hard' contacts. RGP lenses allow oxygen to reach your eye - it can actually seep through the lens. You clean RGP lenses daily, use an enzyme cleaner roughly every two weeks to remove accumulated deposits, and you can have the lenses polished approximately every year. This can even remove some small scratches. RGP lenses are tougher than soft lenses, but by no means unbreakable. (Don't stand on them.) They last longer than soft lenses. Some users keep them for years.

Cons: RGP lenses are more expensive than soft lenses. They have to be 'tailor made' for you by the factory; and once the manufacturer receives your eye doctor's prescription it takes around a week to get them back. If you suffer from allergies or have naturally dry eyes, then RPG lenses may not be for you. You cannot swim with RGP lenses, and you shouldn't sleep with them overnight. (Brief naps are okay, though.) RGP lenses take more getting used to than soft lenses. You start by putting them in for an hour or so a day, and gradually increase the time periods. The lenses are a bit brittle and can crack while being cleaned, especially if you are angry or distracted while doing it.
