What are gas-permeable contact lenses?
Gas-permeable contact lenses, which differ from soft contact lenses, are made of durable, slightly flexible plastic. They allow oxygen to reach the cornea (the clear dome on the front of the eyeball). Because of improvements in materials used to make them, gas-permeable lenses have several advantages over soft lenses and are being prescribed more frequently.
