Gas Permeable
Hybrid FS is a radical new development in Rigid Gas Permeable contact lens materials. The unique "Fluid-Surface" (FS) technology employed in Hybrid FS ensures that any available moisture is bound on to the material surface. This ensures a smooth, completely hydrated and above all comfortable surface to the lens every time. Requires no post manufacture treatments, no activation, rinses or dips and only minimal polishing. Hybrid FS allows the creation of a truly hydrophilic lens surface ... but in a GP material.
