My Optometrist cleaned my RGP contacts with this stuff and they feel
like new lenses.Cost me $40 including a polishing.I've asked around
about polishing RGPs and only one optometrist does it here in San
Diego.

Progent is not marketed to be available to patients, the treatment is
done in-0ffice. AFAIK.

Any optometrist should be able to send your RGP lenses to a lab for
cleaning and resurfacing, assuming the lenses are reasonable new (less
than 18 months old) and otherwise not warped or so badly damaged so that
they might break in the process.

LB, O.D.
