Gas Permeable Reviews
Amazing!! I can FINALLY see! I love RGP Boston EO
I had soft contacts for 20 years before discovering the RGP. I am AMAZED at the difference. I could not keep the soft lens in place and they always bothered me. I have perfect vision with the RGP. I have been wearing them for 3 years now and I can not believe how great my vision is with these. It only took about a week to get used to them - but once I did I loved them. Once in place they do not shift and move - they stay where they should! I am so happy I made the change! It literally changed my life - I can SEE!
Can be worn all day without irritation.
When it comes to gas permeable lenses the Optimum extra is my favorite. Let me tell you why. I can wear this lens all day and it never gives me dry or irritated eyes! I am not constantly putting in eye drops with this lens. It is also very durable and it lasts more than a year if you take good care of it.
Better than disposables!
My husband has been wearing the Optimum Classic gas permeable lens for about 6 years now and he got me to switch about a year ago from my disposable lenses. I am glad I made the switch. This RGP is much higher quality than my old contact. I get better sight and they are more comfortable. They're also easy to clean so there is no loss of convenience.
Better than my old RGP's
My doctor recommended Optimum Extra and I haven't looked back. The comfort is unparalleled with any other RGP I have worn in the past. I can wear it all day with no problems whatsoever. It is also very easy to maintain which is a plus.
Better than Dailies!
You don't have to wear a daily disposable contact for great comfort, the Optimum Comfort lens gives it to you in a long-wear lens. This contact is great for me because it is super comfortable and it lasts me a long time. This is definitely a high quality contact lens.
Great rgp lens
I have worn a couple of gas permeable contact lenses in the past and the best on I have worn is the Fluoroperm 60 contact lens. The thicker design is perfect for my difficult prescription. Plus, they last much longer than any others I've used. 1800GetLens.com makes very easy to order my lenses since they have all of my information already in the system.
Boston makes wearing contacts easy.
The Boston XO2 made contacts easy for me. This lens is very easy to take care of and to put in and remove from my eye. It also lasts a long time so I don't always have to buy replacement lenses. The sight it gives me is just as good as my glasses and better than any other contact lens. Its convenient not to have to mess with glasses too.
Very comfortable RGP lenses.
The Boston ES is a quality lens. It is super comfortable and last a long time. I can see great and its easy to take care of. 1800Getlens.com has the best prices on the Boston ES lens. They are the least expensive from all online suppliers and sellers and I usually get my lenses faster than expected.
Super-durable contact lenses.
The Boston II gas permeable lens is the best for eyes. I wear this contact lens all day long and it always stays moist and comfortable. I never get dry or bloodshot eyes with this thing. It is very strong and lasts a long time if you take good care of it which is pretty easy.
Stays comfortable all day.
This lens is the best rgp! The Boston XO gas permeable lens is very comfortable. I always wear it all day long with no problems. I almost never have to put in eye drops. The lens also gives me the best sight I have ever had with a contact lens. I get clear and crisp vision at all distances. I am sticking with this lens!
Highest quality contact available.
When it comes to rgps the Boston Equalens is the top dog. This is one high quality contact lens. I have never had one that didn't last at least a year and I have never had one that scratches. Its great not having to buy contact lenses all of the time. Its also very comfortable and gives me the vision correction that I need.
A better alternative to disposables.
I have always worn disposable contacts in the past until my father told me about the Fluorperm 60 rigid gas permeable contact lens that he has worn for years and he swears by. He told me has never worn anything more comfortable. I tried it out and came to the same conclusion. The RGP lens was amazingly comfortable and the my sight was also much better. I've switched and am not looking back.
No complaints whatsoever about these contacts.
I don't know why anyone uses any lens besides the Boston XO. I was amazed at how comfortable this lens was after I got used to it. I can wear it all day with no problems. This lens lasts forever, and that saves me money. Great sight, comfort and money saving, this lens is the best!
Very impressive contact lenses.
My prescription is weird and the custom fitting of the Boston XO2 rigid gas permeable lens is a life-saver. My sight has vastly improved since I have started wearing this RGP lens. I also know that is my prescription does change sometime that these contact lenses will be able to give me the same perfect vision. The contact lenses are also very comfortable and my eyes always feel great whenever I am wearing them.
Fits like a glove and good vision too
I have been trying rigid gas permeable contact lenses the past couple of years with not much luck until my doctor recommended the Boston Equalens from Polymer Technology. This RGP is absolutely more comfortable than the Gas Permeable I have tried in the past. It fits my eye great and has never fallen out on me, even when playing basketball. It really is a great lens!
Boston II's make it easy…
My wife has worn custom rigid gas permeable lenses pretty much all of her contact wearing career and she got me hooked on the Boston II. It is very easy to take care of and I am not buying contact all of the time any more. I was amazed at how long the contact lasted. It fits my eye great and is very comfortable. I really thought that the comfort would be lacking in these but it is actually more comfortable than the daily contact lenses that I used to wear.
Awesome gas permeable lens..
The Boston es gas permeable lens is great. it is super comfortable, I never get dry eyes any more when wearing contacts, I used to wear glasses a lot but I don't have to because of the comfort of this lens. very easy to take care of too... great lens.
Phoenix 32
I have been wearing the Phoenix 32 gas permeable lens for a pretty long time and it has always been good to me! The contact lens is very comfortable and gives me the perfect vision I need. I'm still pretty young so my eyes are still changing. Almost every time that I get new Phoenix 32 contact lenses I am getting a different prescription and these contact always give me great sight. They're custom made so I am always confident they are going to be great!
No need to buy disposables.
I just switched to the SA 18 (Phoenix 18) gas permeable contact lenses from weekly disposable lenses and I love them! It is just much higher quality than any other contact that I have worn. I get great sight and amazing comfort and I only have to buy contacts once a year so I am saving a ton of money with the SA 18 RGPs!
Much higher quality than disposable lenses.
I have worn disposable contact lenses all of my life and I wanted to see what the RGPS were like. I tried a few that weren't that great and they I tried the Polycon II. I was amazed at how comfortable it was. I had never felt anything like it with any other kind of lens. The sight was great too so suffice it to stay I am sticking with this lens!
Extremely high quality lens.
I have been wearing the PMMA gas permeable contact lens for about 5 years now and I am a very satisfied customer. I always get great vision with every lens that I get and it is always comfortable. The lens always last me more than a year so I am not always buying a new contact which is nice.
"8 years, no problems at all."
The paragon thin rgp is the best gas permeable contact lens on the market. It is a very durable lens. I have never had one that has scratched or torn or even gotten cloudy on me and I have been wearing them for 8 years! The lens is very comfortable. I can just put it into my eye in the morning and then forget about it.
Perfect vision with paragon lenses
The Paragon HDS gas permeable contact lens is a great lens! This contact gives me great sight. Everything that I see is crystal clear and there is no blurriness whatsoever. It fits my eye great and gives me amazing comfort. This lens just makes wearing contacts so much more convenient!
More comfortable than any other rgp
I love the Paragon HDS 100 because it is so comfortable. I never get irritated or itchy eyes with this lens so they are always clear and looking their best! I don't have to always put in eye drops like I had to with my other rgps that I wore in the past. This lens also lasts me a long time so it saves me money!
"Long-lasting, with great vision."
The Optimum Extreme has always lasted me at least a year with the last 4 that I have worn. The lens stays comfortable the entire time too which I thought was a very nice change. With other lenses it seemed like the last 2 weeks or so the lens was very uncomfortable but its not the case with the optimum extreme.
Worry-free contact lenses
Of all the RGPs that I have tried the Optimum Classic lens is the most comfortable. It keeps my eyes moist and lets them breath and keeps them feeling great all day every day. I never have any problems with it and the best contact lens is one you don't know is there!
Almost maintenance free
The SA 32 is the least maintenance contact I have ever worn. It is very easy to take care of and if you do take care of it will last for a long time. This is also a very comfortable contact so it is great.
no more glasses!
SA 18 is a great RGP. I barely wear my glasses anymore after getting this contact lens. I can wear this all day because it is so comfortable. 1800GetLens.com sell the SA 18 contact lens at a deep discount price. I haven't found another site on line that gives better deals.
Great eyesight and saves a lot of $$.
I switched to gas permeable lenses so I wasn't spending so much money on contacts and am very happy with the switch. I am not buying contacts as much and they are just as comfortable and give me the same level of vision. I am happy with the switch. I also saved a lot of money ordering from this site.
Paragon's are extremely comfortable
The Paragon Thin is the most comfortable RGP I have ever worn. I have never worn a contact that breathed so well and it doesn't make my eyes sensitive either. I could tell a difference right away with this contact and I would recommend it.
