RGP Lenses

Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) lenses are tailor-made for you and they allow us to change the lens parameters to suit your needs. RGP (Rigid Gas Permeable) contact lenses are used for more complex prescriptions including higher prescriptions. They often provide better vision, provide higher levels of oxygen to the eye, and can be easier to handle for some people. They are replaced every 6-12 months.

Specialist Lenses

Some people have eyes that can’t be fitted with regular soft or RGP lenses. They need to have custom-made lenses in special designs to provide good vision and or comfort.

During the academic terms from September to November and February to April, specialist contact lens clinics are run by our students under the supervision of specialist contract lens optometrists.

Please get in touch to book a fitting appointment for the academic terms as places are limited.
