What is another word for hard lenses?
Pronunciation: [hˈɑːd lˈɛnzɪz] (IPA) 
The phrase "hard lenses" refers to contact lenses made from a rigid material, typically gas-permeable. Synonyms for this term include "rigid gas permeable lenses" (RGPs), "rigid lenses," or simply "hard contacts." These lenses are known for their durability and ability to provide crisp, clear vision for a longer period than soft lenses. While they can initially be uncomfortable to wear, many people prefer hard lenses because they offer better vision correction and can help prevent myopia progression. It's important to note that hard lenses are not the same as the now outdated PMMA lenses, which were completely rigid and not breathable, leading to discomfort and other issues.
