Is there anything negative about gas permeable contact lenses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
RGP lenses: Rigid gas permeable lenses are safe and effective lenses to correct vision. They time to get used to and the lenses are more expensive up front as compared to soft lenses. On the other hand, the same lens can last for quite some time as long as you do not break or lose it.
