Hard Contact Lenses at Neooptik Precise vision and long-lasting comfort — a clear choice for your eyes

Sometimes the details make all the difference. If you need vision correction with the highest precision and exceptional durability, hard contact lenses (also called rigid gas permeable lenses) are an excellent option.

What makes hard contact lenses special? Unlike soft lenses that gently conform to the eye and contain more water, hard lenses are made from a durable, gas-permeable material that maintains its exact shape. They are smaller and “float” on the eye’s natural tear film. This might feel unusual at first but offers key benefits:

  • Every blink flushes fresh tear film under the lens, ensuring excellent oxygen supply and reducing deposits.
  • They are often suitable for sensitive or dry eyes because they don’t draw moisture from the eye to keep their shape.

When are hard contact lenses the ideal choice? Hard lenses often provide the best solution for very precise vision correction. They compensate for even small irregularities in the cornea, delivering sharp vision that other aids may struggle to achieve. They are especially superior to soft lenses in cases of:

  • High astigmatism: Their stable shape allows more accurate correction and clearer vision.
  • Irregular corneas (e.g., keratoconus): For special corneal conditions, hard lenses create a smooth optical surface, often the only way to achieve good vision.
  • Very high prescriptions: They can offer superior sharpness due to precise manufacturing.
  • Long-term wear and eye health: Thanks to excellent oxygen permeability and resistance to deposits, they are well tolerated and promote eye health over time. With proper care, they can last over a year, sometimes even two, making them cost-effective.
  • Dry eyes: Since they float on the tear film without drawing moisture, they are often preferred by dry eye sufferers.
