About Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses
Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) lenses are firm, durable lenses designed to provide sharper and more precise vision correction compared to soft lenses. They are particularly beneficial for individuals with high refractive errors, irregular corneas, or conditions such as keratoconus.
RGP lenses allow high oxygen transmission to the cornea, maintaining eye health while delivering superior visual clarity.
Procedure
The fitting process includes a detailed eye examination, corneal curvature measurement, and specialized corneal mapping if required.
Since RGP lenses require precise customization, trial fittings are performed to ensure accurate alignment and comfort.
Patients are guided through a short adaptation period and trained in proper handling and hygiene practices. Follow-up visits are essential to monitor comfort, fit, and corneal health.
