A member asked:
I want to know what is the difference between 8.4 to 8.7 base curve for contacts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The base curve: Is the curvature of the contact lens and it should match the curvature of your eye. An 8.4 base curve is steeper (or more curvy) than an 8.7 base curve. The base curve determination is part of the contact lens fitting done by your eyecare provider.
