If you are a patient wanting to purchase new RGP lenses this year, you may be faced with higher prices to stay in Boston or similar materials, or your doctor may suggest trying something else. In order to prevent having to raise lens prices to their patients, doctors may suggest refitting their patients to materials like Menicon Z, Optimum Extra, and Tyro 97. Your doctor will discuss with you if your lens is affected by these changes, and whether you could potentially be successful with a material of lower cost to you. At this time there have been no reports of price increases to the Boston lens cleaning solutions that are popular with RGP wearers.
