Contact lenses are medical devices that, when placed on the eye can correct shortsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. They can also be worn for cosmetic or therapeutic reasons.

People choose to wear contact lenses for many reasons.

Aesthetics and cosmetics are often motivating factors for people who would like to avoid wearing glasses or would like to change the appearance of their eyes. Other people wear contacts for more visual reasons. When compared with spectacles, contact lenses typically provide better peripheral vision, and do not collect moisture such as rain, snow, condensation, or sweat. This makes them ideal for sports and other outdoor activities.

Hard, Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lenses (RGP)

Hard, rigid gas permeable contact lenses are tailor made from rigid plastic materials which are now generally called gas-permeable (GP) due to their oxygen permeability.
