    Confused Base curve issues

    How much of a difference in base curve will typically start causing an issue? A patient brought in glasses made elsewhere and is having issues. Old lenses were about a 4.25 and new were 5.5. Other than this there were minimal changes to her Rx and I identified this as the potential problem. Sound reasonable to you?

    The issue may actually be the lense design, did she go from a spherical to aspheric, or vice versa?
