ok this time im going to ask since my eye is small will the doctor order me custom size gas permible lens. Also since my eye pupil is small will they be able to make such a tiny contact lens. ALso i heard these lenses move in your eye does that mean they move out of the pupil into the cornea area?

  1. All RGP lenses are custom made to match the curvature and diameter and power that is required for you.

    Don't worry...they can be made tiny...they are about half the diameter of soft lenses .

    Yes, they move a little when you blink, they have to...but they don't go past the edge of the pupil, if they do, then they are fitting wrong, and have to be remade.


  2. I have worn these lenses for years. They are much smaller than soft lenses, but they need to be bigger than your pupil. When they say the lenses "move", they move on your eye and this is when you blink. They kind of slide down slightly on their own, and then back into place when you blink. You don't even notice the moving. Nothing ever goes into your eye--just floats over the surface. I love mine. They're very comfortable and no problem at all--and the best thing is you don't buy new ones every 3 months or whatever.  

  3. the cornea is the clear part that is over the colored part of the eye, this is where the RGP lens sits.  the pupil is the black spot in the colored part of the eye(this is really a hole that light enters to the back of the eye, the retina)

    your question should be to your doctor since no one knows how small your eyes really are.


  4. You have your ocular anatomy a little confused.  

  5. They move up and down on a blink but stay on the cornea all the time.
