Is there that big of a difference between BC 8.4 and 8.3 contact lens?

I'm trying to get rid of the Acuvue Oasys brand b/c they always crinkle up on me or get those ripples around the edges and I can't wear them because they sting. I want to go back to the brand I had before my doctor changed me, which was Acuvue Advanced, only the only size they have are BC 8.3. The Oasys are BC 8.4.

Different eye color changing contact lens?

I would really love to have different color eyes but I don't want to have a risky operation so I thought if it is possible to have different eye color changing lens even though I don't need contact lens? Like, my eyes are compeletly fine, I don't need glasses or something like this, so lens only for changing it?

Can you take your reader eye glasses into a store to give them prescription lenses?

I have these reader glasses I got online, I thought they were for prescription, but they aren't. So, I'm stuck with these readers, and I don't need them to see. I need prescription lenses!

Is there any eye store that will take my reading glasses and put my prescription lenses in them?

How can I improve my vision?

I've never been able to see clearly, ever since I was born my mom says that my vision was bad, and that I was going to be blind from my left eye. Over time I gained vision with both eyes. I started to wear glasses when I was 5 years old and I would always break them on accident. So my mom decided to save money and not get me any glasses until I was 11. She says that that made my vision worse, I'm not too sure about that I'm 18 now and over the years I've noticed that every year my lens get thicker, which is why i hate going to the eye doctor now. Is there any natural way to cure my vision? Do glasses make my vision worse? If so please help any information would be helpful. Thank you

Are these CONTACTS LENSES OK for me!

Ok so my prescription is power. -4.75
Base curve 8.7. And diameter is 14.2

http://www.visiondirect.co.uk/contact-lenses/monthly-contact-lenses/frequency-55

I'm interested in these frequency 55 lenses since those are what I have worn previously. However here is the glitch. My base curve is 8.7 exactly. These online lenses are only offered in 8.6 and 8.8. So should I still buy them and which base curve should I get the 8.6 or 8.8 if I'm an 8.7?

Also how come there are no monthly contacts on this site with my exact prescription?

What happens if you use older technology hydrogel lenses (but not every day)?

Unlike most people, I don't hate my glasses. I have a strange habit wherein I use glasses one day, and contacts the next day (monday=contacts, tuesday=glasses, wednesday=contacts,thursday=glasses…).

I never use contacts more than 12 hours a day, and never sleep in them (unless accidentally, for half an hour to one hour max, but if this happens, i remove the lenses the moment I wake up and don't use them for the next 2 days).

1>Say I switch back from B&L purevision 2, to soflens 59, will this cause problems in my case? I used soflens59 before my doc switched me to purevision 2, and I think soflens 59 was more comfortable (and cheaper). I didn't have any problems with soflens59, he said he's switching because modern lenses are healthier.

2>Since I'm using contacts every alternate day, and the contacts are meant to be replaced monthly, can I use the same pair for 60 days instead of 30? In effect, I'd still be using the contacts for 30 days, as they will spend another 30 days soaking in OptiFree.

I'd appreciate if an eye-care professional could advice on this, contact lens users can help too but I strongly believe professionals know better than users like us.

Thanks.
