Categories of Contact Lenses

Millions of people across the country have prescriptions for contact lenses. Some people wear them all the time, while others just wear them for sports or a number of other activities. Anyone that has a prescription for contact lenses has to make one big decision when they fill that prescription. The decision is based on the choices of getting soft or rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses. These are the two main broad categories of contact lenses.

Soft contact lenses are made of soft, flexible plastics that still allow air to pass through the lens and reach the cornea. These lenses may be easier to adjust to and more comfortable to wear than the more rigid RGP lenses. There are a number of new materials being used, including silicone-hydrogels, which allow even more oxygen to get to the eye while the lenses are still in place.

Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) lenses are more durable and resistant to deposit buildup than are soft lenses. In addition, they typically allow the wearer to have clearer, crisper vision than those using soft lenses. In addition to their other benefits, RGP lenses also end up being less expensive. Because they last longer, a person needs fewer lenses over the course of the prescription. While all of these benefits exist, it is important to note that RGP contacts are less comfortable than soft lenses and so it may take more time for a person to become comfortable wearing them.
