What Are RGP Contact Lenses?

RGP lenses are firm, oxygen-permeable lenses that keep their shape on the eye. Because they don't mould to the cornea like soft lenses, they can mask an irregular corneal surface and often give sharper vision for people with keratoconus or high astigmatism.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

• Keratoconus or other corneal ectasia (see keratoconus contact lens fitting in Kathmandu)
• High or irregular astigmatism not well corrected by glasses or soft toric lenses (toric contact lenses in Nepal)
• Corneal scarring, or vision after corneal surgery
• Children and young adults managing myopia with ortho-k lenses
