Introduction
Do you often find yourself wondering what contact lens diameter you should use? Well, so do we. It's a complex question with lots of variables that need to be considered. So if you're ready to conquer the sizing mystery once and for all, read on!
The diameter of lenses can be indicated in millimeters or alphabetically.
The diameter of a contact lens is the distance across its face, measured in millimeters. It's not to be confused with power, which is how much correction a lens provides.
Diameter can be indicated in millimeters or alphabetically. For example, a size "14" contact lens has a diameter of 14 mm--but so does an "A" or an "H" (8mm).
The bigger the number, the wider the lens.
The bigger the number, the wider your lens. Numbers are often in millimeters (mm) and they are usually listed in alphabetical order.
For example:
15mm = 0.59"
20mm = 0.79"
The width of your eye often determines what lens diameter you need.
The width of your eye often determines what lens diameter you need. If your eye is narrow, you will need a narrower lens. On the other hand, if your eyes are wide (and thus have more area), then it makes sense that a larger diameter would work better for them.
There are also other factors that determine the lens diameter you should use, including your health and preference.

Your vision is one of the most important factors to consider when choosing contact lenses. If you have poor vision, then you may want to opt for a larger diameter with more refraction power so that it can correct your vision better. For example, if you are farsighted or nearsighted and need glasses or contact lenses on a daily basis, then using an RGP (rigid gas permeable) lens will help improve your sight without needing any prescription adjustments.
If comfort is an issue for you when wearing contacts all day long at work or school, then choosing a smaller diameter might be best because they're less likely to dry out faster than larger ones do under these circumstances. However, if style is important to you, then going with something bigger could give off an airier look without sacrificing comfort entirely either!
Contact lens sizes may not be as straightforward as you think.
A contact lens' diameter is not the only factor that determines comfort. Your eyes' health and your preference also play a role in whether or not a particular lens is comfortable for you.
-
Eye health: Contact lenses should be prescribed by an eye doctor, who will take into account your overall health before prescribing any type of contacts. If you have diabetes or other conditions that affect your vision, it's important to make sure those conditions are under control before wearing contacts because they can cause dryness in the eyes or even lead to serious infections if not treated properly.
-
Preference: Some people prefer thinner lenses because they make their eyes look bigger; others prefer thicker ones because they feel more stable on their faces--it all comes down to personal preference! The best way I've found out how much I like my current pair is by trying different kinds until I find one that works well with my lifestyle (I'm always running around doing things so having something comfortable while still being able handle sweatiness from working out).
