Default Pros vs Cons for Gas Permeable Contact Lenses
Pros

-GPs incorporate silicone, which is oxygen permeable, so oxygen can pass through GP lenses, resulting in greater comfort and better eye health
-better vision
-Better durability
-Provide better deposit resistance
-Easier to clean
-extremely durable

Cons

-GPs require an adaptation period before they can be comfortable
-to achieve maximum comfort with GPs, you need to wear them regularly
-some people experience a temporary "spectacle blur" with GPs: when lenses are removed, vision is blurry, even while wearing glasses.


I know there's more to it then this, feel free to add any experiences you may have...
