Hybrid Contact Lenses
The best of both worlds: RGP clarity meets soft lens comfort. Hybrid lenses combine a rigid center for sharp vision with a soft outer skirt for all-day comfort.
What Are Hybrid Contact Lenses?
Hybrid contact lenses feature a unique dual-material design: a rigid gas permeable (RGP) center surrounded by a soft silicone hydrogel skirt. This innovative combination delivers the crisp, high-definition vision of RGP lenses with the comfort and stability of soft lenses.
The rigid center maintains its shape on the eye, providing exceptional visual clarity for conditions like keratoconus and high astigmatism. Meanwhile, the soft outer portion ensures all-day comfort and keeps the lens centered and stable.
Perfect For:
- Patients who need RGP clarity but find them uncomfortable
- Keratoconus and irregular corneas
- High or irregular astigmatism
- Post-refractive surgery (LASIK, PRK, RK)
Key Advantages
Superior Visual Clarity
The rigid center provides crisp, high-definition vision comparable to traditional RGP lenses.
Enhanced Comfort
Soft outer skirt eliminates the foreign body sensation of RGP lenses for all-day wear.
Stable Vision
Lens stays centered and stable, preventing movement and maintaining consistent vision.
UV Protection
Rigid center includes UVA and UVB blocking for added eye protection.
