Gas-Permeable (GP) Contact Lenses
We're committed to providing you with the most advanced and effective vision correction options. Gas-permeable (GP) contact lenses are one of these options, offering exceptional clarity and comfort for your eyes. Specialized lenses made from rigid, gas-permeable materials allow oxygen to reach your cornea, promoting eye health and preventing dryness.
The Benefits of Gas-Permeable Contact Lenses
- Clear Vision: GP lenses provide exceptionally clear and sharp vision. They are highly effective in correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and other vision issues.
- Durable and Long-Lasting: These lenses are durable and maintain shape, offering long-lasting performance.
- Comfortable Wear: With their ability to allow oxygen flow to your cornea, GP lenses provide a comfortable wearing experience throughout the day.
- Tolerance for Eye Conditions: GP lenses suit patients with various eye conditions, including keratoconus, irregular astigmatism, and presbyopia.
- Reduced Risk of Infection: As GP lenses don't contain water like soft lenses, the risk of bacterial contamination is lower.
GP Contact Lenses for Specialized Needs
Whether you have unique vision requirements or specific eye conditions, we can tailor GP contact lenses to meet your needs:
- Keratoconus: GP lenses can effectively correct the irregular corneal shape associated with keratoconus, providing clearer vision for those with this condition.
- Astigmatism: GP lenses can correct astigmatism and offer precise vision correction.
- Presbyopia: Multifocal GP lenses are available for patients experiencing presbyopia, ensuring you can see clearly at all distances.
Our experienced optometrist at BenNissan Eyes specializes in fitting and prescribing GP contact lenses. We will work closely with you to determine the right lens type and fit for your needs, ensuring optimal vision correction and comfort.
Rigid Gas-Permeable Contact Lenses
Rigid Gas-Permeable (RGP) contact lenses, also known as GP lenses, are made from durable, oxygen-permeable materials. These lenses provide clear vision, durability, and comfort. They offer several advantages compared to soft contact lenses, making them suitable for many individuals.
Key Features:
- Clear and Crisp Vision: RGP lenses are known for their excellent optical clarity. They provide sharp and stable vision, especially in astigmatism and irregular corneas.
- Durability: These lenses are made from sturdy materials, making them more durable than soft lenses. They can last longer, reducing the frequency of replacement.
- Gas Permeability: RGP lenses allow oxygen to reach the cornea, promoting eye health and reducing the risk of hypoxia.
- Customization: GP lenses can be customized to fit the unique shape of your eyes. This customization ensures a snug fit, comfort, and precise vision correction.
- Suitable for Various Conditions: GP lenses are often recommended for patients with irregular corneas, astigmatism, presbyopia, and other complex vision issues. They are particularly effective in managing conditions like keratoconus.
- Less Susceptible to Deposits: RGP lenses are less likely to accumulate protein and lipid deposits than soft lenses, making them easier to clean and maintain.
