Rigid Gas-Permeable Contact Lenses in Fort Worth
Discover the advantages of Gas Permeable (GP) or Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) contact lenses at our Walmart location in Fort Worth, TX. Our expert optometrists provide personalized fittings to ensure optimal comfort and vision correction.
What Are GP Lenses?
Gas-permeable contact lenses enable your eyes to "breathe" by using a firm, oxygen-permeable material.
Benefits of GP or RGP Lenses
Health and Hygiene: Less likely to attract bacteria and protein deposits, reducing infection risks and keeping lenses cleaner.
Durability: Made from strong material, they won’t tear and are easy to clean and disinfect.
Longevity: With proper care, a pair can last a year or more, offering cost-effectiveness.
Comfort: Custom-made for each patient, they fit based on your eye’s curvature, size, and corneal shape and transmit oxygen to reduce dry eyes.
Stable Vision: Maintain their shape and provide sharp, stable vision without dehydration issues common in other lenses.
