Question: Are these TORIC CONTACT LENS ok for me ?
I have been wearing Bausch and lomb soflens toric lens for few years but I would like to try Frequency toric by Coopervision. But I see that the base curve for my current B & L is 8.5 and diameter is 14.5mm but for Coopervision Frequency the base curve is 8.7 and diameter is 14.4mm. So will this change in the base curve and diameter be ok .. ? To me it seems the change is very little but I figured I will ask someone who is an expert regarding this.. thx in advance :)

If you've been professionally fitted and have been wearing Nike shoes... 25cm long, and 15cm wide... and all of a sudden, you'd like to try Reeboks that are 28cm long and 12cm wide...
You haven't even though about the material, the grip... the sole,... and you're hoping that you can still perform as well with the new Reeboks... without having them prof. fitted to your feet?
Contact lenses are a lot more detailed than Shoes... yet, I'm sure you woudn't just go and buy a new pair of shoes without testing them first... why do the same with CLs?
Hopefully an optician will come on and give you a firm answer, but as a toric wearer I would say your vision depends heavily on a good fit, so changing the fit doesn't seem like a very good idea.
