RGP Lens Fitting & Assessment

Precise Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Contact Lens Care for Clear, Stable Vision

RGP Lens Fitting & Assessment is a specialised contact lens service designed for individuals who require sharper vision correction or have unique eye conditions that cannot be fully corrected with soft contact lenses. At Malaya Optical (PJ), this service is carried out by experienced optometrists with a strong focus on accuracy, comfort, and long-term eye health.

Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) lenses are known for providing crisp vision and excellent oxygen flow to the eyes. Proper fitting is essential to ensure comfort, clear vision, and safe daily wear. Our assessment includes detailed eye measurements, lens trial fitting, and personalised guidance to help patients adapt comfortably to RGP lenses.

This service is suitable for both first-time RGP lens wearers and existing users seeking refitting or review.

RGP lenses are rigid contact lenses that allow oxygen to pass through, providing clear and stable vision for certain eye conditions.
Some initial awareness is normal, but proper fitting and gradual adaptation help most patients become comfortable with RGP lenses.
The fitting and assessment usually take longer than soft lens fitting, as precise measurements and trial lenses are involved.
Not everyone needs RGP lenses. Our optometrists will assess your eyes and advise if RGP lenses are suitable for you.
