Do Contact Lenses Come in Different Diameters?

Yes. It's important that your contacts fit your eyes. Your ECP will take measurements of your eyes during your eye exam and contact lens fitting to ensure your lenses fit you correctly.

Does diameter of contact lens matter?

It is not recommended to wear contact lenses with a different diameter from your prescription. If the diameter is too wide, the lens will be loose in the eye and may slip out of place. If the diameter is too small, the lens will have a tight fit, causing discomfort.

What is the difference between 14.0 and 14.2 diameter contacts?

In fact, there is not much difference between these two. Some manufacturers only make 14.2mm diameter contacts, and some others produce 14.0mm diameter contacts. However, there is no manufacturer that makes both 14.0mm and 14.2mm diameter contacts. This is because they only choose one of these two small size contacts.
