Gas Permeable Contact Lenses
Gas permeable contact lenses (GP lenses) offer a premium vision correction solution with exceptional clarity and durability. These rigid lenses allow oxygen to pass through, keeping your eyes healthy and comfortable throughout the day.
At Advanced Eye Care Services, we specialize in fitting GP lenses to suit your unique vision needs and lifestyle. Whether you’re seeking superior optics or a long-lasting alternative to soft lenses, GP lenses could be the perfect choice for you.
What are Gas Permeable Contact Lenses?
Gas permeable contact lenses are rigid lenses made from durable, oxygen-permeable materials that allow your eyes to "breathe." Unlike soft lenses, GP lenses hold their shape on the eye, providing sharper and more precise vision correction. They are custom-made to match the unique curvature of your eyes, ensuring a tailored fit.
While they may require a brief adjustment period, many users find them incredibly comfortable once they adapt. GP lenses are smaller than soft lenses and sit directly on the cornea, offering stability and reduced movement during blinking. These lenses are highly durable and cost-effective, as they can last for years with proper care.
Who are Gas Permeable Lenses Good For?
Gas permeable lenses are an excellent choice for individuals seeking the highest level of optical clarity, particularly those with astigmatism or high refractive errors. They’re also ideal for people with keratoconus or irregular corneas, as their rigid design provides superior vision correction in these cases.
GP lenses are great for those who prefer a long-lasting, reusable lens option that’s eco-friendly and cost-effective. If you’ve struggled with dry eyes or discomfort from soft lenses, GP lenses may be a better alternative due to their breathability and reduced water content. While they require commitment to proper care and an initial adjustment period, the results are well worth it for many users.
We’ll guide you through the process of selecting and adapting to GP lenses, ensuring they meet your unique vision needs.
