Would Contact Size 14.2 Be Too Large For A Diameter Size 14.0?

Hi, I have a prescription for contacts and I would like to order some specialty contacts. My contact diameter size is 14.0 and the contacts of the brand I want to buy has a diameter size of 14.2. Is this going to be too uncomfortably big for my eye and therefore a waste of money?

Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you want yo order contact lens of diameter 14.2 against the required 14.
This will be a loose fit and will not be comfortable. Hence I advice you to go for the correct lens diameter.

Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
With regards
