Contact lense sizing?
Oct. 9th, 2010 01:20 pmRandom question, for knowledgeable folk out there.
I'd like to buy prescription coloured contact lenses. I've done this before, where the prescription has exactly matched the lenses on the website I used: for reference, base curve 9.0, diameter 14.2, power -3.00.
I've found cheap and appropriate ones I want from a wholesaler thingy. Trouble is, the base curve is 8.6.
Does this mean they will be looser/tighter on my eyes? Will it matter for occasional novelty use anyway (they're 30 day ones)? I'd like to buy them today so they get posted in time for Friday. Why yes, I have a sekrit plan... :P
