Hi Jialat, with the risk of 3 & 9 o'clock staining and upper lid ptosis from wearing RGP lens, do you think it is better to avoid RGPs if there are no major prescription issues like high astig etc.?

What are the (from daily to monthly) options for people with flatter corneas? Acuvue moist may be one of them. Are there any others? (though ultimately fitting still needs to be done)

Thank

Nope but my cornea measurements are on the flatter end of the range for the population, some lens don't fit. Most lens come in only 1 base curve, not sure which may accommodate flatter corneas better in their design.

Hi, I was wondering for the purpose of soft bandage lens, why do we need such a large diameter? a smaller lens like rgp will help in tear exchange and would be healthier

Hey jialat, can plano soft contact lens be made smaller than the corneal diameter just like rgp lens? Any possible issues since if it is not used for vision correction?
