FreshLook Radiance Don't "Fall Out" Do They?

I heard a complaint about contact lenses "falling out." They almost never do that do they?

If they're the right size, no, they won't fall out. contact lenses come in different base curves, which is a measurement of how flat or round your eyeballs are. If the base curve is too shallow, then the contacts will be too flat to conform to your eyes and will fall out...this is what happened when I first started wearing contacts.

Thanks for the info, gypsybuns. (That's am interesting name.

) Do your contacts stay put now? Did you switch brands?

Thanks

! I travel a lot and have a rabbit, so that's how I came up with that name! The ones that fell out were my very first pair when I was in high school. I went back to the eye doctor, found out that the base curve was too shallow, got a new prescription, and haven't had one fall out since.

I'm glad you found something that works.

Have you answered some other questions here on Lens 101? It's fun, gypsybuns!

It is fun! I just started, I've answered a couple other questions about Freshlook Radiance and Opaques. I've worn contacts for a long time and used a few different brands, but this year I had some "use it or lose it" cafeteria plan money so had some fun and ordered several colors of contacts. It's been interesting to see what experiences other people have had!
