Contact lenses newbie?

Question

My prescription says that I have a base curve of 8.4 but the optometrist gave me a trial pair with a base curve of 8.7. They feel fine and I feel no discomfort whatsoever. He already ordered my contacts and the box says the base curve is 8.7. So do I call them to correct the base curve and get new contacts or is the base curve not really a problem?

Answer 1

If its not a problem for you, then don`t worry about it.

Answer 2

I am an optician and a wearer of contacts and it sounds like there is a mistake in how the Rx was written,. Call and make sure that it is written right for you. The base curves are specified for a reason. If it were not an important part of the RX it would not be included as part of the RX.

Answer 3

best way to find out is to call your doc and ask

there could have been a mix up but it may be just fine

hope you like them better than glasses---they are so much easier perosnally

Answer 4

well i wear contacts and i don't think it really matters as long as they aren't uncomfortable
