Contamac U.S. Contact Lenses

Soft contacts bend easily and settle over the eye. Optimum RGP contacts are firmer, so they keep their shape when they sit on the eye. That difference changes how the lenses feel, how they correct vision, and how you care for them.

Firmer Feel at First

Soft contacts can feel familiar faster since they're thin and flexible. Optimum RGP contacts can feel more noticeable at first, especially when you blink. Your eye care professional may give you a gradual wear schedule so your eyes can adjust safely.

Sharper Vision When the Fit Is Right

Since RGP contacts hold their shape, they can create a smooth front surface for light to pass through. That can help sharpen vision, especially for people whose soft contacts don't give clear or stable results, including some wearers comparing contact lenses for astigmatism.

Custom Fit for Your Eye Shape

Optimum RGP contacts are fit to your eye shape and prescription. The lens has to move correctly, sit properly, and give clear vision without causing discomfort. This level of individualized fitting is also common with specialty contact lenses. Follow-up visits are important after you start wearing them.

Different Cleaning and Storage Routine

RGP contacts need a cleaning, disinfecting, and storage system made for rigid gas permeable lenses. Don't use soft contact lens solution unless your eye care professional says it's safe for your specific RGP contacts.

Optimum RGP contacts need daily cleaning, safe storage, and the right lens care system. Use the products your eye care professional recommended for your specific RGP lenses, since soft contact lens solutions are not always approved for rigid gas permeable contacts.

Clean Them After Each Wear

Wash and dry your hands before touching your lenses. After you remove each lens, clean it with the recommended RGP cleaner or care system to remove deposits, oils, and debris from the lens surface.

Do not skip cleaning just because the lens looks clear. Buildup can affect comfort, vision, and how the lens moves on your eye.

Store Them the Right Way

Store your lenses in fresh disinfecting or conditioning solution, based on the care system your eye care professional gave you. Do not reuse old solution, and do not "top off" the solution already sitting in the case.

Your lens case needs care too. Rinse it with the recommended solution, let it air dry, and replace it as directed. A dirty case can contaminate clean lenses.

Keep RGP Contacts Away From Water

Do not rinse or store Optimum RGP contacts in tap water. Keep them away from showers, pools, lakes, hot tubs, and swimming water.

Water can carry germs that stick to contact lenses and raise the risk of eye infection. If water gets on your lenses, clean and disinfect them before wearing them again, or follow your eye care professional's instructions.

Check the Lens Before You Put It In

Before insertion, look at the lens for chips, cracks, scratches, cloudiness, or stubborn deposits. A damaged RGP lens can scratch or irritate your eye.

Do not wear the lens if it looks damaged or feels wrong when you put it in. Stop wearing it and have it checked.

Know When to Stop Wearing Them

Remove your lenses if you have pain, strong redness, light sensitivity, discharge, sudden blurry vision, or discomfort that does not go away after cleaning and reinserting the lens.

Do not try to push through eye pain. Contact your eye care professional before wearing the lenses again.

Optimum RGP contacts can feel noticeable at first, especially if you're new to rigid gas permeable lenses. A short adjustment period can happen while your eyes get used to the firmer lens shape. Mild lens awareness is different from pain, strong redness, light sensitivity, discharge, or sudden blurry vision.

Remove the lens and check it if it feels uncomfortable. Look for:

• Chips or cracks
• Scratches
• Cloudy buildup
• Deposits
• Dust, lint, or debris
• A lens that feels different from the other eye

Clean and rinse the lens with the RGP care products your eye care professional recommended. If the lens feels better after cleaning, the issue could have been debris or buildup on the surface.

Stop wearing the lens and contact your eye care professional if you notice:

• Pain
• Strong redness
• Swelling
• Discharge
• Light sensitivity
• Sudden blurry vision
• Discomfort that comes back after cleaning

Don't keep wearing a lens that hurts, looks damaged, or keeps feeling wrong. Your eye care professional can check whether the problem is the lens fit, prescription, surface condition, cleaning system, or wear schedule.

Ordering Contamac U.S. Optimum RGP contacts online works best when you have your current contact lens prescription in front of you. RGP contacts are custom fit, so the lens name, design, and measurements need to match what your eye care professional prescribed.

1. Find the Optimum lens name
   Check whether your prescription lists Optimum Classic, Optimum Comfort, Optimum Extra, Optimum Extreme, or another specific RGP lens. Don't choose a different Optimum lens just because the name sounds similar.
2. Match the prescription details
   Enter the power, base curve, diameter, and any lens design details listed on your prescription. If your right and left eyes are different, enter each eye separately.
3. Choose the correct lens quantity
   Optimum RGP contacts are often ordered as individual lenses, not multi-packs like many soft contacts. Check whether you need one lens, a pair, or different details for each eye.
4. Review the price and savings
   Before checkout, check the current price, discounts, rebates, and any AutoRefill savings shown with your order. Savings can vary by product, quantity, and promotion.
5. Enter your eye doctor's information
   Lens.com verifies contact lens prescriptions with eye care providers when required. Adding accurate doctor details can help your order move forward without extra back-and-forth.
6. Review everything before checkout
   Double-check the Optimum lens name, prescription details, lens quantity, shipping information, and final order total. If something doesn't match your prescription, contact Lens.com customer service or your eye care professional before placing the order.

Lens.com gives you a clear place to review Optimum RGP product details before ordering. You can check the current price, lens quantity, prescription options, and any savings shown before checkout.

Discounts

Prices can vary by Optimum lens, prescription, and current promotions. Before placing your order, review the product page and cart for current pricing, available discounts, and any rebate details shown.

Since RGP contacts are sold differently from many soft contacts, check the lens quantity carefully. Each product listing should match the lens count you need for your right eye, left eye, or both eyes.

Prescription Verification for Your Contacts

Lens.com verifies contact lens prescriptions with eye care providers when required. For Optimum RGP contacts, the prescription details matter because the lens is fit to your eye, not just your vision power.

Before checkout, make sure your prescription includes the correct Optimum lens name and all needed fitting details. If your eye doctor prescribed a specific RGP design, don't substitute another lens without approval.

AutoRefill

AutoRefill can help when you reorder contacts on a set schedule. Before enrolling, check that AutoRefill is available for your Optimum order and that the timing matches your eye care professional's replacement or reorder instructions.

Because RGP contacts can last longer than many soft contacts, AutoRefill should match your actual lens use. Check your prescription expiration date, follow-up schedule, and lens condition before relying on repeat shipments.
