Amazing.  The Purevision that you recommend, as well as the Oasys,
Proclear, and Focus Night and Day that the other guy recommends, are
not available in my 9.0 base curve.  I thought all contacts would be
available in all sizes.  But I guess not.  I might have to stick with
these Acuvue 1-Day contacts, if they are the only ones in my size.- Hide quoted text -

My corneal "K" reading is 39. Several years ago, my previous eye
doctor prescribed the original Acuvue lenses in a 9.3 base curve.
Then when I started wearing Acuvue 2's, he gave me 8,7 base curve.
I'm seeing a new eye doc now, and he gave me Acuvue Oasys in 8.4 BC,
but they felt tight and somewhat stuck in place. Now he has me in the
new 8.8 BC, which seem more comfy. My eye doc said that with the newer
silicone lenses, the base curve isn't as critical and he "prefers" a
tighter fit.

In the past, my only problem with a flatter lens was that, when they'd
get dry, they'd literally peel off my eyes during hard blinking, which
I guess would be better than sticking to my corneas!
