I've ordered these contact lenses called Circle lenses online. My prescription for my normal contacts are 8.4BC and 13.8DIA. The circle lenses that I ordered are 8.6BC and 14DIA. Even though there is a little difference, will there still be serious problems that will happen to my eyes?

  1. it serve as a guide to which lenses will be better for u but it also depends on the material of the lenses


  2. No, it's whichever lens works best for you.  As long as the lens moves properly on a blink and handles tears properly, and doesn't dry out and is the right power, and is letting enough oxygen to the cornea, then things should be ok.

  3. It can be important because it determines how well the contact fits your cornea.  That is why your eye doctor does a contact lens fit before giving you the prescription and why you should not order a different lens online without your doctor also checking to ensure they fit properly.
