RGP lenses are more gas permeable lenses so they allow oxygen to reach to the cornea which helps in giving a more clear vision and they are more durable than soft lenses only issue is they are are smaller in diameter as compare to soft lenses so problems of dislodged lens and even dust particles getting collected under the lens are seen often,
They are not easy adaptable as compared with soft lenses so part time use is sometimes difficult
