Narindi Jansen Optometrist tells about RGP contact lenses
At Narindi Jansen they specialise in contact lenses and take good care of the human eye.
RGP stands for Rigid Gas Permeable and, as the name suggests, these lenses are made from a durable material which also makes the lenses hard.
Are you already familiar with the many soft contact lenses on the market and are you wondering why anyone would choose an RGP lens over the convenience and comfort of a soft contact lens?
The simplest answer is that RGP lenses are better for the health of your eye and they are custom-designed for the wearer. This means that RGP lenses can be used where other contact lens options, and even spectacles, may fail.
If you have any of the following affecting symptoms your vision, consider RGP lenses:
*Irregular astigmatism.
*High astigmatism.
*Previous corneal graft.
*Post-PRK corrective surgery.
*High myopia.
*Keratoconus.
*Keratoplasty.
*Aphakia.

They have numerous RGP fitting sets such as Aspheric, scleral, Rose-K and Duette among others at their disposal so that they are able to fit a variety of corneal irregularities.
During your lens assessment appointments they take care to ensure a comfortable fit and clear vision without compromising corneal health.
