FAQs

Quick answers before you start.

What are gas permeable contact lenses, and how do they work?

Gas permeable (GP) contact lenses allow oxygen to pass through the lens material to the eye, promoting health and comfort. Unlike soft lenses that can hold moisture, GP lenses maintain their shape, providing better clarity of vision, especially for patients with astigmatism or high levels of myopia.
