    Do you have to wear RGPs for keratoconus? If so then I really wouldn't buy them online because the parameters will change very frequently so you really need to have the checks. The most important part of RGPs is checking the fit when the lenses arrive in so if you get them online that isn't done

    I have no experience of RGPs but I have positive experience of buying monthly disposables from Optical Institute, based in Portugal, who also supply RGPs, if that's any use to you.

    I would not recommend buying RGP online because your corneal dimensions are prone to change slightly from the prescription given even from a short time ago. They need experienced professional fitting as one size doesn't fit all as is nearly always the case with soft lenses.

    RGP ordering is based on very recent corneal dimensions.
