Gas-Permeable Contact Lenses

At Richard Fantom Eyecare, we offer specialist fitting and aftercare for gas permeable contact lenses, helping patients across Warwickshire and Worcestershire achieve clear, stable vision.

Also known as rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses, these lenses are a great option for patients who may not get the best results from standard contact lenses, including daily contact lenses or monthly contact lenses.

As experienced local opticians, we take the time to assess your vision properly and recommend the most suitable lens for your eyes and lifestyle.

What Are Gas Permeable Contact Lenses?

Gas permeable contact lenses are firm, durable lenses that allow oxygen to pass through to the eye. Unlike soft contact lenses, they keep their shape on the eye, which can provide sharper and more consistent vision.

They are particularly effective for patients with more complex prescriptions or specific eye conditions where soft lenses may not give the best results.

Who Are Gas Permeable Lenses Suitable For?

While many people wear daily contact lenses or monthly contact lenses, gas permeable lenses are often recommended when clearer or more precise vision is needed.

They may be suitable if you:

  • Have astigmatism
  • Have keratoconus or irregular corneas
  • Struggle to achieve clear vision with soft contact lenses
  • Want sharper, more stable vision

At Richard Fantom Eyecare, our specialist opticians will carry out a detailed eye care assessment to determine whether gas permeable lenses are the right option for you.

Benefits of Gas Permeable Contact Lenses

Gas permeable lenses offer several advantages, particularly for patients with more complex visual needs.

They provide:

  • Crisp, high-definition vision
  • Consistent lens shape for reliable focus
  • Excellent oxygen flow to the eye
  • Long-lasting and durable design

Contact Lens Aftercare and Ongoing Support

Our experienced opticians offer gas-permeable lenses aftercare to ensure they continue to perform well and remain comfortable. We’ll monitor your eye health, check the condition of your lenses, and make any adjustments needed over time.
