Default Diameter 14.2? in these?

I have been trying to order a perscription for Air Optix for Astigmatism contact lenses, and have realized they only come in "DIAMETER 14.5". My perscription is "DIAMETER 14.2". Is this a mistake on my doctors part, or am i trying to order the wrong type of contact?

Any information would be very helpful!!!

Yes,looks like a mistake on the eye doctor's part. Ask them to check and correct. The diameter is unlikely to be critical though.

Oh, and welcome to the forum .

Hi Kristof, welcome aboard.

I checked Lens.com and it looks like the only diameter they are available in is 14.5, like you said. I double-checked at the Ciba Vision site and they confirm that they only come in 14.5 diameter.
Like knotlob, I would recommend you call your eye doctor and see if you can get your prescription changed to a 14.5 diameter. If you have your corrected prescription and a fax machine, you can order your contacts at Lens.com.

I hope you get the correct lenses soon, and that you come back and tell us how you like them.
