Welcome to Shop by Base Curve (B.C) Colored Contacts

At our store, we understand that finding the perfect colored contacts is not only about the hue but also about the perfect fit for your eyes. The key to this perfect fit lies in understanding the 'Base Curve' (B.C) of contact lenses.

What is the Base Curve (B.C)?

The Base Curve refers to the curvature of the back surface of the contact lenses. It is one of the most critical aspects that ensure your contact lenses fit comfortably and safely. The B.C is measured in millimeters and represents how 'curved' or 'flat' the lens is.

Why is B.C Important?

1. Comfort and Fit: The right B.C. is essential for ensuring that the contact lenses fit snugly and comfortably over the cornea. This not only provides stability throughout the day but also enhances overall wearability. A well-matched B.C. aligns perfectly with the individual's corneal curvature, reducing discomfort and ensuring the lens stays in place.

2. Eye Health: A correctly fitting lens, determined by an appropriate B.C., is vital for maintaining eye health. It facilitates proper oxygen transmission and promotes healthy tear circulation. This is crucial in preventing eye irritation and other potential complications associated with poor lens fit.

3. Vision Quality: An accurate B.C. plays a significant role in positioning the lens optimally on the eye. This ensures clear, focused vision by maintaining the correct alignment of the lens, thereby enhancing the visual experience.

4. Individual Eye Shape Consideration: Since each person's corneal shape and size vary, selecting a lens with a corresponding B.C. is crucial. This personalized approach ensures that the lens caters to individual eye anatomy, providing a tailored fit.

5. Lens Movement and Stability: The B.C. also influences the lens movement on the eye. An ideal B.C. ensures that the lens moves adequately with each blink, which is necessary for natural eye lubrication and oxygenation. This movement is a balancing act; too much movement (indicative of a 'flat' B.C.) can cause lens instability and blurred vision, while too little movement (a result of a 'steep' B.C.) can lead to discomfort and restricted tear flow.

In summary, choosing the correct Base Curve for colored contacts is paramount for comfort, eye health, and optimal vision quality. It takes into account individual eye shapes and is crucial in ensuring lens stability and movement, thereby contributing to both comfort and clarity in vision.

How to Choose Your Base Curve?

• Understand Your Eye's Curvature: Everyone's eyes are unique. Typically, the corneal curvature ranges between 7.10 to 8.50 mm. Your optometrist can help you determine your curvature.

• Steep vs. Flat B.C:

  • If a lens is too curved (steep) for your eye, it may fit too tightly, causing discomfort.
  • Conversely, a lens that is too flat can move around too much, leading to instability and blurred vision.

• Lens Diameter and Thickness: These factors, along with the B.C, influence how the lens sits on your eye. A balanced combination is key to a comfortable and stable lens fit.
