Gas permeable (GP) contact lenses offer sharper vision and durability compared to soft lenses. Ideal for patients with high prescriptions or specific eye conditions, GP lenses provide exceptional clarity and long-lasting comfort.
- Health and Hygiene
- The absence of water content reduces the risk of bacteria buildup and eye infections.
- Resistant to protein deposits, keeping lenses cleaner and healthier.
- Durable material makes them tear-resistant and easy to disinfect.
- Long lifespan – a pair can last over a year with proper care.
- Superior Vision
- The rigid material provides a smooth surface for sharper, more stable vision.
- Unlike soft lenses, GP lenses do not dehydrate, ensuring consistent clarity.
- Comfort and Customization
- Custom-made to fit your eye’s curvature, size, and corneal shape.
- Smaller diameter minimizes contact with the eye’s surface, reducing irritation.
- Cost-Effectiveness
- Although the initial cost is higher, their durability makes them more economical than disposable soft lenses.
Astigmatism Correction
- GP lenses retain their shape on the eye, providing clear and stable vision for individuals with astigmatism who may struggle with soft lenses.
Adjusting to GP lenses may take a few weeks, especially for those transitioning from soft lenses. Some users experience “lens awareness,” feeling the edges of the lens while blinking. However, most people find them equally or more comfortable after the adaptation period.
- Long-Lasting: Durable material ensures longevity.
- Hygienic: Reduces the risk of infections and buildup.
- Sharp Vision: Provides unparalleled clarity and stability.
- Tailored Fit: Designed to match your unique eye shape for maximum comfort.
