BC 8.4 in a contact lens prescription refers to the "base curve" of the lens, which is measured in millimeters. It indicates the curvature of the back surface of the lens; a lower number, like 8.4, means a steeper curve, while a higher number indicates a flatter curve. This measurement is crucial for ensuring the lens fits properly on the cornea, providing comfort and optimal vision correction. Proper base curve selection helps prevent issues like lens movement or discomfort.
