Which department should I visit for measuring base curve?

Generally, measuring base curve requires visiting an ophthalmology department. The detailed explanation is as follows:

The term "base curve" usually refers to the radius of curvature of the cornea or the anterior surface of the cornea. Rigid corneal contact lenses are custom-made one-to-one according to the wearer's eye condition, whereas soft corneal contact lenses are produced using standardized, adaptable base curves. Common methods for measuring the base curve include corneal topography or keratometry, which typically require a visit to an ophthalmologist. These instruments generate images of corneal shape by measuring the curvature and elevation of the corneal surface, providing parameters and data related to the base curve. Abnormalities in the base curve may lead to refractive errors. Ophthalmologists can evaluate vision correction needs based on the measured base curve data and determine whether corrective measures such as eyeglasses, contact lenses, or corneal refractive surgery are necessary.

It should be noted that measurement and assessment of the base curve must be performed by qualified ophthalmologists or optometrists to ensure accurate results and appropriate treatment recommendations.
