can i just buy any pair or does fitting/trying them out really matter....
i remember my eye doctor giving me like 3 different trial pairs choosing the best one for my type of eye...but i dont remember if all that was reallyimportant....
im overdue like a month on this pair and i dont even know if their old cause i have two cases that look exactly the same...

im asking cause i wanna just buy some online...(cheaper)...but the ones i already have are not available at the sites im going to....
(encore 100 by coopervison)
i think i have astigmatism too

now i sorta remember why she made me try a couple of pairs...
cause my eye is smaller than avg...asian LOL....


my old ones are BC: 8.5 and DIA: 14.2





id get the basic Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism...and i think ive tried them and thought they were alright...but she thought otherwise...
they are Base Curve 8.6. Diameter 14.5


is that too dangerous??

^^^ gutted bro..

Ask your optometrist what a good alternative is to your current ones and then see if they're available. You really want the correct fit and strength

I have Acuvue Oasys, I really like them. Much better than the super expensive Bausch and Lomb ones I had for years..

My BC is 8.4 and my diameter is 14.0

How blind are you, if you don't mind me asking? I'm -4.75 on my left and -4.5 on my right
