Caring for RGP Contact Lenses
Caring for RGP contact lenses is not difficult, although it does take a little while to get accustomed to the routine. Caring for your RGP contact lenses includes cleaning them, storing them and rubbing them gently to remove residue. Generally, this is easier than with soft contact lenses because RGP lenses are more durable. Also, RGP contact lenses do not attract proteins like soft contact lenses do.
Caring for RGP contact lenses generally includes cleaning and soaking them daily. Clean your contacts with a cleaning solution by gently rubbing the lens. The soaking process is included to condition the lens to make them more comfortable. If for some reason you are prone to protein buildup, your eye doctor might recommend an enzyme cleaner, too. The best advice is to follow your eye care provider's instructions when it comes to caring for your RGP contact lenses. By following this advice you will extend the life of your contacts.
Additionally, if you experience dry eyes during the day you might want to buy a rewetting solution. This solution helps relieve any discomfort you might have from wearing your lenses. Make sure you buy solution for RGP lenses because not all solutions are designed for this type of lens. The bottle should be labeled with the type of solution. Also, make cleaning and air drying your contact lens case part of the process of caring for your RGP contacts.
All of these tips are helpful, but do not replace any instructions your eye care provider might provide.
