Different contact lenses

Different contact lenses

I was looking to switch to a new, better brand of soft toric contacts (monthly disposable).  My current presciption is for an 8.7 BC and 14 DIA, but the new lenses only come in 8.6 BC and 14.5 DIA - power, cylinder, axis are all the same.  I know it's not recommended to change brands, but the new ones are supposedly much better and I just recently had an eye exam, everything was fine.  Would I be able to wear these lenses with the minor difference in BC and DIA?  Thank you.

No way to tell for sure

You need an eye care professional to check the fit of the contacts and to write you a script if they work.  I think that it's fine to change brands if something works better for you.
