What Does 'med' Mean on My Contact Lens Prescription?

Where it says BC (base curve) on my prescription it only says ‘med’, no numbers. The prescription is for acuvue oasys and I’m trying to order lenses and need to know what med means? And also if the diameter on my prescription says 14.2 and the lenses are only offered in 14 do you think that will be okay? Thanks!
Agreed footprintz. The 14.2 was referring to another prescrip for biomeds and thats a whole nother rant but yes, still irritating about the med…

Colored Contacts?

okay so i have really big eyes, and when i wear colored contacts the color goes over my pupil a little because the contact doesn’t stay right in the middle of my eye… i guess because of the way it’s shaped ? and i can’t see out of them because of it.

so would a normal eye doctor be able to order contacts that have a different base curve or something… or would i have to get them like specially made to be able to wear colored contacts?

How Do I Buy Clear Comfort Contacts?

I have a prescription for contacts and I’m trying to purchase the contacts online. The prescription has the diameter, base curve, and power. However, it lists Clear Comfort as the brand, which I can’t find on any contact lens website (1800contacts, discountcontactlenses, etc.). Does that brand still exist, but perhaps as a different name?

Whats Supposed to Be Included in a Contact Lens Fitting?

I just had mines, and they only gave me the prescription (without the base curve, diameter). They didn’t give me the slip to take to stores when i want to buy the lens myself. Oh yeah, and since the prescription is different for both my eyes (od=-3,os= -2.75), they gave me -2.75 for both eyes (i actually prefer it that way); can i also buy only the -2.75s in stores with my actual prescription (-3.-2.75)?
thanks

Does Anyone Wear Colored Contact Lenses?

I just bought a new set of prescribed colored contact lenses from FreshLook. I know from freshlook that the base curve and the diameter always stays the same. But when I wore it . . .

I couldn’t see clearly. It was very cloudy like when you have an eye booger in your eye, and it’s disturbing your vision. I saw it like that.

I went in to see my eye doctor. She didn’t tell me what was wrong except she made me try on Acuvue’s colored contacts. It was still the same, I think.

Has anyone experienced this before? If so, what did you do to correct it?

Given My Eye Glass Prescription, How Can I Convert to Contact Lens Prescription?

Without going to the optician that is; I want to order lens online, and need the base curve, which is not noted on my prescription. I have been recommended "Acuvue Oasys" by my optometrist. Those lenses can be ordered with a base curvature of either 8.4 or 8.8. Also, I have astigmatism in one eye, but he said that it is very insignificant and that I can wear the lenses without astigmatic correction. Here is what my prescription looks like:

OD: -2.75
OS: -2.50 -0.25 x 150
pd 58

K OD: 44.25/44.75 -0.50 x 180
OS: 43.75/44.50 -0.75 x 180

My doctor tells me that this is Rx can be used to order both lenses and glasses. But since there is no BC, they are telling me I need to be fitted and must pay an extra examination fee. Also, is there supposed to be a different power for contact lenses and eye glasses? Which one to use and how while ordering?

Please help!!

How Important Is the Diamater of a Contact Lens for It Too Fit?

I was thinking of buying Black Out contacts for my eyes for halloween ( the kind which makes your iris and pupil completely pitch black and a little larger) the problem is, is that my normal prescription contacts are Base Curve 8.6 and Diameter 14.2…the Black Out lens are Base Curve 8.6 and Diameter 14.5….even though the diameter is .3 larger, will the lens fit my eyes without any problem, or at least be able to keep them in without them falling out?? thanks so much!

I Wear Air Optix for Astigmatism Contact Lenses. Would It Be Possible for Me to Wear Regular Contacts?

Regular contacts rather than ones for astigmatism, I mean?

My prescription is:

Right eye:
Sphere: -5.75, Cylinder: -75, Axis: 150, Base Curve: 87.

Left eye:
Sphere: -6.00, Cylinder: -75, Axis: 10, Base Curve: 87.
Also, would my contacts be cheaper if I have insurance? How much cheaper?

There’s these circle lenses I wanna try, the base curve is the same as mine but the diameter is about 0.7 bigger in diameter.

So it will fit but it will just be wider I guess?

Urgent …Help!! My colored Durasoft contact lenses have been on back order for a month and now I am told that Ciba Vision won’t manufacture them until the end of April (today is March 13th, 2008)
Does any company other than Ciba Vision manufacture colored contact lenses with an 8.3 base curve? If so, who sells them?? I was informed that Ciba Vision is the one & only company that makes them … hard to believe. Thanks for your help :-)

I’m getting black-out scleral contact-lenses for halloween, but I’m unsure of what to enter in some of the required fields they ask for – like power, base-curve and diameter. How do I know??

If anyone knows of a store online that sells non-prescrption scleral contact-lenses, that would be fine too. Thanks :]
