Are some eye shapes just not suitable for contacts?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See eye doctor: Yes. Some corneas are too steep or too flat. Also some corneas thin. The cornea is the part of the eye that the contact sits on.

No: Nearly all eyes can be fit into contact lenses. Rarely an eye might require a custom-made contact lens.
