A contact lens prescription is only for the exact lens specified, so no you cannot use an gas permeable (RGP) prescription to buy any other lens. You may not be suitable for soft lenses since you have been prescribed RGPs, your prescription or wear times may mean that you are safer and healthier wearing an RGP. Speak to your contact lens optician to see what options are available to you.
