Hard Contact Lenses vs RGP Lenses: Are They the Same?

Written By Lauren Anderson

Are hard contact lenses and rigid gas-permeable lenses the same? The answer is… yes and no.

Today, if someone says they wear “hard contact lenses,” they’re most likely talking about rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses. These are hard (or rigid) contact lenses that allow oxygen to pass through them. Or, in other words, they are “gas permeable.”

The terms are now used so interchangeably that they’ve effectively become synonymous. However, technically, they’re not the same thing. While most modern hard contact lenses are RGP lenses, the original hard contacts were something quite different.

Keep reading to find out how the original hard contacts evolved into the RGP lenses used today, and how that evolution changed contact lens technology forever.

Hybrid contact lenses combine the features of both types. They have a rigid gas-permeable inner section surrounded by a soft outer skirt.

They’re most often prescribed for people with keratoconus, severe astigmatism, and other corneal conditions that can be difficult to correct with standard contact lenses.

We’re going to discuss exactly what hybrid contact lenses are and how they can help with these conditions.

Wegovy and Vision Loss: Understanding Potential Eye Health Risks

Wegovy (semaglutide) and other GLP-1 medications for weight loss are everywhere. It’s hard to watch an Instagram reel or TV show without seeing ads for them.

If you’re wondering whether Wegovy or other GLP-1s are right for you, you’re not alone. Prescriptions for this class of drug have more than tripled since 2020.

However, all medications have potential side effects, and vision loss is a concern with GLP-1s, particularly Wegovy.
