Product Information

When people think of hard contact lenses they often think about the terribly rigid, non-breathable lenses of days gone by. What many don’t realize is that the rigid gas permeable contact lenses of today have a lot of benefits. RGP contact lenses are incredibly convenient, cost effective, and promote eye health and visual clarity.

Manufactured by Optical Polymer Research, OP-2 lenses are created from a polymer called lotifocon B, and have zero water content. With no water in the lens itself, it’s less likely that the lens will harbor bacteria and other build-up that can irritate or harm eyes. As a result, people who suffer from allergies or who are prone to protein deposits on lenses can especially benefit from wearing contacts without water.

Breathability is a big concern for contact lens wearers, and rightly so. Eyes need oxygen to stay healthy and clear. There is a lot of talk about the breathability of many kinds of soft contact lenses, but what is less known is how breathable RGP contact lenses actually are. In fact, rigid gas permeable contact lenses are more breathable than many soft contact lenses available on the market. OP-2 lenses, as with other RGP lenses, have a high Dk rating, which means that eyes receive high levels of oxygen through these lenses.

A major advantage of rigid gas permeable contact lenses is that they are custom made for each person’s specific vision needs. There is no ‘one lens fits all’ type of thinking with these contacts. OP-2 contact lenses can be made to correct a range of vision issues and with their custom design these lenses deliver an incredible fit. Also, the special material used to make OP-2 lenses molds gradually to the eye’s shape. Having a lens that is tailor made to fit your vision needs and the shape of your eye means clearer, more stable vision and greater comfort levels.

Of course, OP-2 contacts lenses must be removed, cleaned, and stored in disinfecting solution at the end of each day. Following this routine helps keep eyes healthy and bright. It also aids in maintaining the integrity of the lens. With proper care OP-2 contact lenses can be worn for up to a year before replacing. Having a lens that only requires replacement once a year helps keeps vision costs to a minimum.

So, whether you are a soft lens wearer who is ready to make a switch or you are new to the world of contact lenses, OP-2 lenses are a great choice. With hassle-free returns, 100% money-back satisfaction, and quick shipping, you can’t go wrong with Lens.com.

OP-2 FAQs

Is OP-2 contact lens FDA-approved?

Yes, OP-2 is FDA-approved. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulates all contact lenses as prescription medical devices and thus must go through an approval process, after which they can be legally sold in the US (if approved). Lens.com sells only FDA-approved contact lenses. From lenses to address near, farsightedness, astigmatism, and even cosmetic lenses, our inventory consists only of FDA-approved contacts.

Can I buy OP-2 for someone else?

Yes, you can buy OP-2 contacts online for someone else, for example a child or someone you're assisting with making a purchase. The same simple steps apply. At Lens.com you'll only need to know what contacts you want, their prescription, the contact info of the person's ECP (for prescription verification), and a credit card. We'll do the rest! 

Where can I buy OP-2 contacts?

OP-2 lenses are available to purchase at online retailers, some brick-and-mortar stores, and eye care professionals near you.

Lens.com offers exclusive rebate/rewards savings.

How many lenses are in a box of OP-2 contacts?

1 box of OP-2 lenses contains 1 lenses, a 12-month supply of contacts. 1 box, per eye, last you for a period of 12 month(s).

How old do you have to be to wear OP-2 contact lenses?

Like most contacts, including OP-2, they can be worn by teens and potentially pre-teens as well, per the direction of an ECP. In general, there is no fixed minimum age for wearing contacts, as it's a judgment call based on lifestyle habits, budget, and of course your ECP's guidance. Contacts do require care and consistency in usage and maintenance/cleaning and these are the lifestyle factors you should consider when thinking about contacts for a child.

Are online OP-2 contact lenses the same as from your eye doctor?

How do I read my OP-2 prescription?

Contact lens prescriptions, including for OP-2 contacts, follow a standardized format and use abbreviated terms. There are values for power, base curve, diameter, and other parameters, some of which you'll need to specify when ordering contacts. Click here, to see further info on how to read your OP-2 contact lens prescription.

How to tell if my OP-2 contacts are inside out?

You will know OP-2 contacts are inside-out if they feel uncomfortable in your eye. An inside-out contact lens will also move too much when you blink, and they may even pop out. Some contacts feature an inside-out mark that can be checked once removed, but this is not the case with all lenses.

Can I be allergic to OP-2 contacts?

Contacts, like OP-2 are made of hypoallergenic materials, meaning the contacts themselves don't usually cause an allergic reaction. In most cases, what causes an allergic reaction is a buildup of contaminants on the contacts. If you experience redness, watering, and other symptoms of a possible allergic reaction, remove your contacts immediately and consult your ECP.

Can I renew my OP-2 RX/prescription online?

Yes, you can renew your prescription of OP-2 lenses online. At Lens.com. we need only your previous prescription to begin the quick process of renewing your prescription online, and it takes only 10 minutes. In fact, you can renew any contact prescription, for any brand with Lens.com, including for a prescription for glasses. Of course, this service is only available in the 37 states which are not under the thumb of the American Optometric Association. Check here to see if you live in a privileged state.

Where can I buy OP-2 contacts near me?

OP-2 contacts are typically available to purchase at your nearest brick-and-mortar eyewear store or ECP's office. However, the lowest prices and largest inventory of these lenses can be found online, such as at Lens.com, where greater volumes and lower overhead can translate into significant savings over store-bought contacts.

Can OP-2 contacts expire?

Like all contact lenses, OP-2 lenses do expire. The expiration date will be stamped on the box itself or on the aluminum fold of the blister pack in either a YYYY-MM or YYYY-MM-DD format. Typically, the expiration date for contacts is several years after the date of packaging.

How should I store my OP-2 contact lenses?

Daily disposable contacts cannot be stored and must be discarded at the end of each day. Even if you wear them for only a few hours one day, you still need to discard them after that use and wear a fresh pair of contacts the next day. 

You may keep weekly contacts in multi-purpose contact solution in a tightly closed contact lens case for up to 2 weeks. 

For monthly replacement lenses you may store them in contact solution in a tightly closed contact lens case for up to 30 days.

Do I need a prescription, or a copy of my prescription in order to buy OP-2?

Yes, you do require a valid prescription in order to buy OP-2 or any contacts in the United States, per Federal Law. However, at Lens.com having a copy of your prescription in your possession is not required to place an order (though be aware it's something that is owed to you by your ECP once you complete an eye examination so that you can choose where to purchase your contacts). If you don't have a copy in your possession, Lens.com representatives will help verifying your prescription by calling your ECP for you. Provide us with the basic information, sit back, and relax.

Who makes OP-2 contacts?

OP-2 contacts are made by Optical Polymer Research, and sold on Lens.com.

Is ordering OP-2 contact lenses online safe?

Yes, all contact lenses, including OP-2 ordered from Lens.com are FDA-approved, genuine lenses manufactured by top contact lens brands such as Bausch + Lomb and Alcon, and backed by a money-back guarantee. Order and fulfillment processes adhere to mandates set by US federal law, including the requirement to verify valid prescriptions, without exception. We go above and beyond, by making the experience efficient, easy, and pleasant with 24/7/365 customer service and a money-back guarantee.

How long does it take to adjust to wearing OP-2 contacts?

If you're wearing OP-2 for the first time, it can take several days to a couple of weeks for you to adjust to wearing them on a daily basis. Contacts vary from brand to brand in terms of their shape, material, breathability, wetting agents used, and other factors, thus requiring an adjustment period. Rigid/hard lenses can sometimes take longer to adjust to, whereas most contacts in use today employ a soft form of silicone that is typically easy to adjust to.

What if I don't have my prescription? Can I still order OP-2 contacts?

Yes, you can still order OP-2 if you don't have a hard copy of your RX/prescription on hand. As long as you have a valid contact lens prescription (which will be on file at your ECP's) you can still place an order with us at Lens.com. Choose your lens, provide us with the contact info of your ECP and we'll do the rest. If your ECP is unable to respond to our request for the info needed in a timely manner, your lenses will automatically be shipped out to you. This is the process put in place by the FTC to ensure your rights as a consumer.

Can I use my eyeglass prescription for OP-2 contact lenses?

Unfortunately no, you can't use your eyeglass prescription for OP-2 lenses. Your eyeglass prescription only has the power part of the contact lens prescription. In addition to the power, the proper base curve (BC) and diameter (DIA) are needed to order contact lenses. Contact lenses come in different sizes and must be fit to your eye by an Optometrist or Ophthalmologist. As a replacement center, we can only sell you contact lenses that you are already wearing successfully. So ultimately eyeglass prescriptions are not the same as a prescription for OP-2 contacts. See an ECP/optometrist if you're looking for a contact lens prescription and fitting as a first-time-wearer.

Can you take a nap in OP-2 contacts?

No, you cannot nap in OP-2 lenses. As OP-2 are not approved for overnight wear (a full night's sleep), napping in them for a short period of time is not advisable either, and it can lead to eye-health complications. Napping for any length of time with contacts not designed for such an environment is risky. Choose a lens that is approved for overnight wear and seek guidance from your ECP if this is a requirement for you.

Are OP-2 contacts tinted (aka ‘handling tint’), for improved visibility?

No, OP-2 lenses do not include a tint for cleaning and handling purposes.

OP 2 gas perms

These are some hassle-free contacts. Its like I am never buying contacts because they last so long. The OP-2 gas permeable lens is also surprisingly comfortable, right when I put it in my eye I knew it was great. I try to get everyone I know to switch to these contacts, I don't know why anyone would want to wear any other contact lens!
