Oxygen Delivery |
GP contact lenses are made of special polymers that allow your eyes to breathe. |
Traditional soft contact lenses usually transmit less oxygen than GP contact lenses.

Visual
Acuity |
GP contact lenses have superior optics. Their firm material retains the lens shape better when blinking. Hence, your eyes do not have to refocus as much after each blink.
|
Soft contact lenses are more likely to distort when you blink; Hence, your eyes must then refocus. |
Long-Term Comfort |
GP contact lenses require almost no water to maintain their shape. Therefore, they will not absorb the moisture from your eyes. |
After a few hours of wear, water-absorbing soft contact lenses may dry out your eyes and affect your end-of-day eye comfort.
|
Durability |
GP contact lenses are made of a firm plastic that do not tear easily. |
Made of a gel-like plastic, soft contact lenses are easy to tear.
|
Deposit Resistance |
GP contact lenses’ smooth finishing and low water retention prevent protein deposits from your tear film. This leads to healthier eyes and more comfortable vision. |
Soft contact lenses are more likely to harbor bacteria. They will contain the protein deposits when absorbing more tears from your eyes.
