Gas Permeable Contact Lenses
I guess to the average person, gas permeable contact lenses sound like something that is incredibly high tech — but it really isn't very difficult to understand the concept behind these types of lenses. In order for your eyes to look, feel, and function at their best, oxygen needs to be able to reach them. Traditional lenses did not permit oxygen molecules to penetrate — but gas permeable contacts do. Because they are made from a harder and more durable material, they may last longer than other types of contact lenses. Some wearers of gas permeable contacts report better vision with them in place.
