The Contact Lenses Thread

[Elnin0]

i have change to a new pair. but then my left contact still slide up.

It doesn`t stay in place . After blinking, it would goes up. Issit becos the lense is too loose?[/QUOTE

how long have u been facing this problem? do u have the same problem with the same lens in previous experience

I think you need to check the curve value. e.g. 8.5, 8.6, 8.7.
U need higher value. As for me, 8.7 is too high (too tight) for me.

Consult ur optican.

for color lens there is no other base curve. they only have uni fit, anyway only acuvue provide more a series of fitting from 8.3(sharp) - 9.0 (flat)..color lens have color tint and that can affect the comfort

oh.. the higher the number, the flatter it is.
I thought is other way round.
So need lower number.. coz my eyes balls are small and hence need to curve more. is that true?

Anyone can confirm this?

 

[MoneyHoney]

any optician to reccomend? i keep going the same shop to get contact lens, they nv check my eyeball curve rating.

 

[tinydot]

is there any contact lens now for dry eyes? many yrs ago when i tried those non-disposable, my eyes always turn red and sore, and it can become so dry, that when i blinked, the lens dropped off!

 

[qwerty_hippo]

smaller Base curve Value means the lense is more curve. Higher Base curve value means more flat.
