Choosing the Right Base Curve for Colored Contacts
When it comes to colored contacts, the prescription isn't the only crucial factor. The base curve plays a significant role in comfort and vision.
Imagine wearing contacts from the same brand, with identical materials, water content, and diameter. Strangely, one series feels great, while the other is uncomfortable.
The culprit? The base curve difference.
Your eyes might feel discomfort if you're wearing colored contacts with an incompatible base curve. So, before you switch brands, check the base curve to find what suits you best.
What is base curve on prescription?
The base curve is the curvature of the eye. Your eye doctor measures your base curve during an eye exam using a keratometer.
What happens if you wear the wrong base curve?
Want to know how does base curve affect vision? Hereโs the answer:
โข Base curve Too Large: The lens might slip or shift easily on your eyeball.
โข Base curve Too Small: Tightness, irritation, redness, and blurred vision can occur as the lens sticks uncomfortably to your eyeball.
Is a higher base curve flatter?
โข A higher base curve means flatter colored contacts.
โข A smaller base curve results in more curved colored contacts.
How do I know my base curve?
Visit your eye doctor for an eye exam to get an accurate base curve measurement.
What is the most common base curve for contacts?
;The normal range of base curves is 8.3mm to 9.0mm and the most common one is 8.6mm.
