What Are Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) lenses?

Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) lenses are advanced contact lenses made from oxygen-permeable materials that allow the cornea to breathe while maintaining a stable optical surface. Unlike soft lenses, RGP lenses retain their shape, helping to correct vision more effectively in eyes with irregular corneal contours.

At Optimax, RGP lenses are customised using advanced corneal imaging and precision fitting techniques, ensuring each lens is tailored to the unique shape and visual needs of your eyes.
