r/contacts

Can I wear a BC 8.6 if I am 8.5?

I wear contacts with my prescribed base curve often, but I'm looking to do a cosplay that involves having blue eyes. I can find contacts with the correct colour and prescription, but the base curve is 8.6 and I'm struggling to find otherwise. Will this be okay for one day?

Contacts after infection.

Hi all,

I had a mild infection in my eyes 2 weeks back where it felt like there was something stuck in my eye, but there wasn't?

The doctor confirmed it wasn't an ulcer. I feel like she's asking me not to wear contacts for a month for pushing eye correction surgery which I cannot get till the next 6-7 months.

Any idea if it's a no no to wearing contacts after a mild infection or should I consult another doctor?

TIA.
