A member asked:
Could you tell me if my prescription is for the diameter 14.2 can i use lenses with other diameters?

Not critical: The fit is much more dependent upon the base curve which rests upon the eye than the diameter. Rarely is that an issue. Discuss the best option with your ophthalmologist contact lens fitter.
