Does the diameter of contact lenses matter?

This morning I overheard people talking about the diameter of contact lenses. Does that matter a lot? I think everyone' s contacts are the same.

The diameter of contact lenses matters a lot. Different people have different size at the eyes. That is why we need different size of the contact lenses. Only getting right size of the diameter of the contact lenses can we feel comfortable at the eyes. Or else, often sliding symptom will cause the uncomfortable wearing feeling. Thus choosing the right contact lenses is very important.

Yes, it is quite important. When you are wearing contact lenses with bigger diameter than you need, the contact lenses are so loose that they move around everywhere and out of its own place. This causes discomfort and visual acuity. What's worse, it may cause corneal damage by tearing or scrape your cornea. The contact lenses you buy are the same, but they may affect how people feel when wearing them. Some people constantly lose their contact lenses or have displacement just because of standardlized size without measuring their own suitable diameter.

Well, of course yes. Contact lenses have different sizes, so that it can just be suitable for different people. As we know that people have different size of eyes. Because of that, it will just make someone feel too big or too small if all the contact lenses are the same sizes. In other words, if you have contact lenses which have bigger diameter than you need, it will be loose. And then they move around everywhere and out of its own place. Of course, that can be very annoying and uncomfortable. In some serious cases, it will just harm your eyes, leading to some eye problems, such as red eyes, or injury to eyes. Anyway, just go and have a perfect pair of contact lenses.
