How long can the effect of Zhongshan Ophthalmology RPG glasses last?

Zhongshan Ophthalmology is a well-known ophthalmic hospital located in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province, China. It has rich experience and technology in RPG (Rigid Gas Permeable) glasses. RPG glasses are an effective method to correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. However, many patients are concerned about how long the effect of RPG glasses can last. This article will elaborate on this issue from four aspects: eye health protection, adaptability of glasses, lens durability and personal living habits.

Eye health protection

Protecting eye health is the key to the sustainability of glasses. RPG lenses are breathable and will not hinder the normal breathing of the eyeball when worn, helping to keep the eyeball moist and moist. In addition, RPG glasses can provide better visual clarity and high contrast, reducing eye fatigue and discomfort. However, if the patient uses electronic products for a long time or stays in the environment rich in blue light for a long time, the effect of glasses matching may be weakened. Therefore, good eye care habits are an important factor in the lasting effect of glasses.

Adaptability of glasses

The wearing process of RPG lenses requires a certain adaptation time. At the beginning of wearing RPG lenses, patients may feel dry eyes, congestion, blurred vision and other discomfort, which is a normal adaptive response. However, with the extension of adaptation time, these discomfort will gradually reduce or even disappear. Therefore, patients need to be patient and willing to adapt to RPG lens matching. Only good adaptation can ensure the lasting effect of lens matching.

In addition, the patient's corneal morphology will also affect the durability of RPG glasses. If the corneal curvature changes greatly, it may be necessary to adjust the lens degree regularly to maintain the effectiveness of lens matching. Ophthalmologists will develop personalized adjustment plans based on the patient's vision and eye health.

Lens durability

RPG lens materials have high durability and stability, which can ensure the matching effect for a long time. Generally speaking, RPG lenses with normal use and proper care can be used for 1-2 years or even longer. However, the service life of the lens is also affected by the patient's personal use habits and maintenance. For example, incorrect cleaning methods and storage methods may cause scratches or damage to the lens surface, thus reducing the durability of the matching effect.

Personal habits

The patient's personal lifestyle will also affect the durability of RPG glasses. If glasses are worn for a long time, electronic products are used and exposed to dry or dusty environment, dirt will accumulate on the lens surface. In addition, rubbing eyes and rubbing eyes frequently should also be avoided to avoid damage or failure of glasses.

To sum up, Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department has rich experience and technology in RPG lens matching. The key to the sustainability of its lens matching effect is based on many factors, such as eye health protection, lens adaptability, lens durability, and personal living habits. Only patients actively protect their eye health, adapt to the lens matching process, correctly use and maintain lenses, and adjust their personal living habits can ensure the lasting effect of RPG lens matching.
