Default Attention Solotica wearer's! I need your help!
I orginally asked this question in someone elses thread, but I didn't want to hijack it

Solotica's only come in a base curve of 8.7. My base curve is 8.4, and I don't know if I could still wear solotica's for 6 hours a day with my base curve :|

What do you guys think? Will I get a corneal ulcer if I wear them?

Hi clandestine. Here's what I think. If your prescription says 8.4 base curve, then Solotica should not be selling you lenses with an 8.7 base curve, unless they talk to your doctor and get his or her okay. That's Lens.com's policy. They won't sell you anything until they see the prescription.

Okay, so this is something you really should check with your eye doctor. I have one eye with and 8.4 base curve, and one with and 8.6. The Solotica lenses feel the same in both eyes - dry and uncomfortable. The longest I can tolerate them is about 4 hours. I do however have some of their new monthly lenses, and those are much easier to wear (I can get about 10 hours out of them, and they also only come in 8.7), but not true to the colours that they are named after. If you like the look of brazilian lenses, you might want to check out Optycolor Magic Tops. They come in an 8.5 base curve (amongst others), which is much closer to your 8.4, and they are yearly vial lenses, like Solotica. I have them in turquessa and they are very easy to wear, and I can wear them for about 12 hours a day. You should however ask your optometrist if an 8.5 BC would be appropriate for you. After all, you only get one pair of eyes, best not to mess them up.

Cheers,

It would depend on the curve of your eye. The same size lens made of different materials and by different companies will fit differently. If you wear a size 8 shoe, does EVERY size 8 fit the same way ??? No. Why would CLs be any different

Hi overreact. So you buy contacts without a prescription and put in random numbers or what?

The base curve describes the roundness of the cornea on the front of your eye. Naturally if you want to put a lens right up against the cornea, you want a good fit. Some people's cornea have a steep curve and others have a more gentle curve, so I base curve measurement is crucial.

How do you know which ones to buy? Do you bring in your prescription to your local pharmacy and get them there or something?

That's what I do with the pills I have to take. I just hand my prescription over to the pharmacist. These days it's mostly refills. My prescriptions are good for a year.

You may want to ask your eye doctor about things like base curve and diameter. It's always a good idea to be an informed patient.

If your doctor wrote down the name of the medication on a note and nothing else, the order could not be filled. The Dr must state dosage , time frame and other details of the Rx. The same is true with eye Rx. You need to know the BC, diameter and other detals.

I agree with Klingons4Peace. I'm sure your eye doctor would be happy to explain all those numbers to you and what the words "base curve" and "sphere" mean.

Not all Dr.s are contact lens fitters. He/she cannot just take some measurements and say,' here you go.' The ONLY WAY to tell if a CL fits, is to put one on the eye and observe how it fits. Even a contact lens fitter cannot just put on a lens and decide whether it fits or not by feel and vision.

Well, sure, of course your right, but that doesn't mean they can't explain the vocabulary to their patients, right?

It's funny, my optometrist has prescribed me contacts with base curves between 8.4-8.6 depending on the brand. I guess it all depends on the materials. My Acuvue Dailies have a BC of 8.5 but the Soloticas fit me fine. A higher BC won't hurt you, it will just prevent the contact from fitting your eye as snuggly as you would like. I have heard from others that this can be remedied by soaking your contact lens case in very hot (but not boiling) water for 3 minutes and then putting the warm contacts in your eye--apparently this helps mold them to your eye if the base curve is slightly large on you. I have never tried it though but I doubt it would hurt to try it.

You should definitely never wear a contact with a smaller base curve than what has been prescribed to you though, that is where you can really hurt your eyes rather than have a cosmetic problem with how the lenses look

I don't see how you could get contact lenses with the wrong base curve if you have a prescription from the doctor who examined and measured your eyes. I would think that someone who was having problems finding contact lenses in the right size was trying to buy them either without a prescription of a prescription for something else.

It's true that different brands of contact lenses fit differently due to different materials. One brand might fit you best with an 8.4 base curve while another brand might only fit in an 8.6 BC.

Since Soloticas are not available in the US I don't believe an eye doctor would be able to get you a prescription for them. You could get a prescription for similar lenses and hope for the best but I don't really see any better option, they need to start selling these lenses in the US

I don't know if a doctor in the United States can write a prescription for Soloticas or not. If not, I'm sure he or she can set you up with something similar. Since they will likely be US made lenses you won't have to convert currency and wait for the lenses to ship from another continent. Maybe they won't look exactly like Soloticas, they might just be close enough.

Well this is not an option for me at least. My prescription is -9.5 and it seems that most American brands only go up to -8

I see what you mean. Let us know if you find anything besides Solotica lenses that are suitable for you.

Anybody else? Sylvia's looking for Color Contact Lenses in a -9.5 prescription. Does anyone know of any lenses like that?

You can try Acuvue lenses, they come in your Rx, but get a proper fitting before ordering. The 8.3 Advance Plus should fit, but check first.

An 8.3 prescription will substitute for a -9.5? That doesn't sound like a good fit to me. Even if you forgot to add a minus sign it still doesn't sound very close.

I think 8.3 is referring to the BC not the power, which is too steep for me anyway-my optometrist usually recommends lenses between 8.5-8.7 depending on the brand and materials
It looks like I'm stuck with foreign lenses for now, which is fine I love Soloticas but I just wish that I had a comparable option available in the US-then I wouldn't have to worry about international shipping and my insurance would pay for all or part of it

Have you considered vial contact lenses? Those are custom made and you can probably get them in the -9.5 parameter you need.

The same lens is available in an 8.7 BC.

As far as I know the only colored lenses that Acuvue offers are the opaques
I tried them before and they looked very very fake
The Enhancers wouldn't show up on my brown eyes
Are there other colored lenses by Acuvue that I'm not aware of?

Yeah, isn't that weird? I don't understand why so many of those vial lenses have been discontinued all at once. It kind of makes you question whether you should buy those from anyone.

I just heard about a lens called 'Splash" that may be what you're looking for, you'd have to google it.

Splash lenses are made by a company called Interojo, which I've never heard of. They come in a base curve of 8.6 and diameter of 14.2, and that's it, and they're made of 45% Methafilcon A. I don't suppose you've tried these yourself, have you Contact Lens Fitter?

I've been a contact lens fitter for over 25 yrs, it's my job to know whats available, and the manufactures always send out literature to my office.

I suppose you could--but since they are new it's hard to get any pictures of what they look like on real people so you can't really tell how they stack up against what's already on the market

Plus they only go up to -6....at least Freshlook goes up to -8

Hmmm, if you don't wear 14.2 diameter lenses with a base curve of 8.6, you'd better find another brand then, hmm?

What do you guys think? Will I get a corneal ulcer if I wear them?
although its fractions of a mm you may not get the best fit cuz there is a big jump from 8.7 - 8..4!

It really depends on the lens........I have solotica lenses which only come in 8.7 - a median bc - and they fit fine even though my usual bc is 8.4 or 8.5 in other brands. It is never dangerous to wear a larger bc, but it may slide and slip. Never wear a bc that is too small - very unhealthy for eyes.
I have a pair of Magic Top lenses with a bc of 8.5 - which feel a bit too flat...

It makes things extra confusing........like pant sizes, it depends on many things.

If Solotica only has lenses in an 8.7 base curve and your base curve is 8.4 or 8.5, why not just try a different brand? Didn't your eye doctor give you a prescription for 8.4 or 8.5 base curve lenses?

Doctors don't give you a prescription for your eyes, they give you a prescription for lenses.

Almost all lenses come in only one (one size fits most) size.

So if a doctor wrote a prescription for an 8.4 Acuvue, that doesn't mean my eyes have a bc of 8.4...it means those lenses fit me (since the doctor does a fitting) - it is not a guarantee that all 8.4 bc lenses will fit the same.
That same doctor will write a prescription for lenses with an 8.5 bc if they fit... I have had the same optometrist prescribe 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6 lenses. The 8.3 were a bit uncomfortable.

Now since most lenses come in only one (sometimes 2) bc, you don't just choose another lens if it doesn't have the exact same bc as your last. Ideally, you go to the optometrist and have a fitting. Sometimes that is not possible - if a lens is not offered by your doctor for example. In that case never go lower in bc than you have had prescribed by a doctor before... If you were prescribed 8.6, don't go for a lens offered in only 8.3, since there is a chance the tight lens will cause discomfort.

However, if the lens only comes in an 8.6 or 8.7 this is a one size fits most and should be fine......unless you have an extremely small bc. That is a risk you must take if you are set on a lens that your doctor does not offer. The only risk is on your wallet, lenses that are too flat will not hurt your eye - they just won't look natural since the color part will slide around.

With rigid lenses, the bc is more set in stone, but since a soft contact drapes around your eye there is more room. This is why most lens companies only made one median size. Otherwise they would lose a lot of business!

I know I answered this already but - all lenses come in a one size fits most.
Unless your current lenses are 8.3, an 8.7 in Solotica is probably fine. Solotica in particular have very thick lenses, they stick to the eye with minimal sliding - for most people

If that's true, how come contact lenses don't just come in a few sizes like 8 and 8.5? Why come up with tiny increments like 8.7 if an 8.5 and a 9 will fit pretty much the same? Do you see what I'm saying?

I must confess I am a bit offended by "If that's true"...I will assume you meant hypothetically..

Please ask yor optometrist - the sizes are not the same, they are the one size fits most for that particular brand/style.
The bc is usually 8.4 to 8.6, with a few brands in 8.3 or 8.7.
The only way to be sure is to have a fitting of course, but you should not assume the lens that comes in an 8.7 will not fit you because you were previously prescribed an 8.4 or 8.5 lens.

Here, is a blurb from "Ask an Optometrist"

The diameter and base curvature with soft contact lenses, especially daily disposables have little effect on the fit in most cases. It’s kind of like one size fits all. An 8.5 vs. 8.6 vs. 8.7 are of negligible difference with this type of lens. For most people any of these base curves will fit well. The thing that will determine the comfort is the type of material and the coatings/solution the lenses have been sitting in. For some people one brand may be more comfortable and for others a different brand may give the best comfort. As long as your optometrist says that they all fit well on your eye and that your vision is good, it is up to you to decide which one feels the best. It is quite possible that more than one of them may feel good and give excellent vision. In that case either one will be a good choice for you.

Hi nicole420pm. Thanks for answering me so fast.

I didn't mean to offend you. I always try to word my posts just right, but sometimes I still come off sounding bad. Sorry about that. You're right. I was just asking theoretically, like when you get those math problems that say "If x = 7 . . . "
The part that said "an 8.5 vs. 8.6 vs. 8.7 are of negligible difference with this type of lens" was helpful, but I still don't understand (and you may not know either, and that's okay) why they have so many different sizes if an 8.5, 8.6 and an 8.7 all fit pretty much the same. Why not just have 8.5 and be done with it?

At first I was a little offended, but yeah I totally see now you meant "if that is true then why..." - you weren't calling me a liar!
I know it seems logical that lens companies would just have a 'medium' and a few companies would make a 'small' or 'large' to fit those outliers...however I THINK it is because 8.5 or 8.6 is the bc of the lens....how that lens actually fits on the eye depends on the specific eye, the lens material, etc.
Since lenses can be pretty expensive, and you need an Rx in the US anyway, the best thing to do is have a fitting by an optometrist.

In the case of Soloticas and other Brazilian/Argentinian lenses though this isn't an option. It is an expensive gamble that the lenses will be comfortable.
However, as long as the bc isn't too small, it isn't dangerous.

If one isn't deadset on trying Solotica, a safer bet (though still expensive) for higher quality lenses are Waicon or Magic Top. While these are from Argentina and Brazil, respectively, they come in a one size fits most of 8.5 and also in 8.3 and 8.8.

Magic Top annuals are cheaper than Waicon annuals but Waicon makes monthlies...I haven't tried Waicon but have heard very good things.

These two brands are very realistic but they don't have the whole blending thing down like solotica ......so it depends on your Preference and your natual eye color. Dark eyes look best with no blending - just small blunt pupil hole. If very dark brown eyes have a blended pupil hole they look like they are on drugs!
Hazel, or hazelly green, honey, or even warmer toned browns can look good with a blended pupil - the kind solotica does so well....

What isn't an option with Soloticas? Are you saying that you can't have Solotica lenses fitted by an optometrist? Won't they give you a prescription if you want Brazilian/Argentinian lenses?

Most optometrists will not fit a lens if they don't have the lens - how can they guarantee it will fit?
Certainly they COULD write you an Rx, but:
a) They probably have too much professional integrity to do this and
b) what is the point if you don't need an Rx to order Solotica (or any foreign lens I know of...)and they only come in one bc?
The only reason that would make sense is if you don't know your power (-9.5 for example)...then of course you need to go to an optometrist!

That's really strange. I've heard that in other countries you don't need a prescription for contact lenses, but here in the US it's required by law. I just can't get used to the idea of getting contact lenses without a prescription.

I guess for some reason our government doesn't trust us to have common sense, I wonder why =P

A lot of things require a prescription in the US that don't in other countries. That doesn't mean in other countries people just use these medical devices like hats - they go to the optometrist.
The burden is on the consumer in other countries to make sure the lenses are compatible. It seems obvious that someone would need to go to the optometrist to know whether they need vision correction and to make sure there is nothing wrong with their eye.

In this country - maybe because of lawsuits - the trust is never placed on the consumer. I can see both sides...honestly most people can be pretty stupid when it comes to their health...
Many Americans think that if it an item is available over the counter or doesn't require a prescription it must be a safe - as in it can literally be given to an infant!

Rx is required for contact lens use in the US to force contact lens wearers to be responsible and get their eyes checked out every year and consult their optometrist about new lenses.

That's a rather harsh commentary on the mentality of the American people, but I'm afraid it's pretty accurate. Americans, for better or for worse, seem to have a very independent spirit. A mind set that says "Don't tell me what to do! Let me make up my own mind about what's good for me!" Then we do what we think is best and, well . . .

Haha I didn't mean to sound SO harsh towards Americans - I am as American as they come, after all.. Probably it is just human nature, but in America with all sorts of legal lawsuits with now limits, as many other countries have, it is probably safer for manufacturers and distributors to require an Rx.

I know in Israel for example, codeine and various antibiotic eyedrops are available at the drugstore, no Rx needed...

You look at that picture up there and understand that there's a reason so many rules are put into place.

If only it were that simple. In the words of those lads in Green Day:

"Been around the world and found that only stupid people are breeding
The cretins cloning and feeding"

I didn't say that--they did.

Okay before this thread goes too far afield let's remember than in the US you need a prescription for contact lenses, and that includes color contact lenses. People seem a little confused about that because many people wear colored contact lenses even though they have 20/20 vision. Even if you can see perfectly without any help, you still will need a prescription for colored contact lenses in countries such as the United States.

Exactly, Petra. Even if your vision is perfect, you still need contact lenses that fit properly, and that's what a prescription ensures.
