Rigid Gas Permeable

RGP Contact Lenses

  • RGP stands for "rigid gas permeable", a new generation of contact lenses that have replace the old hard lenses. They are available in a variety of plastics, usually silicone based, that transmit oxygen and carbon dioxide, hence the term "gas permeable." This is important from an eye health standpoint because the cornea is the only external tissue in your body that must derive its oxygen supply from the atmosphere. The new RGP lenses allow contact lens specialist to successfully fit patients who have wearing difficulties with hard lenses but were unable to achieve satisfactory vision with soft lenses.
