RGPs - more likely to lose them if large/small?

ROAR!! I have lost an RGP out of home without realizing :-((

I can choose 2 equally valid diameters (not BCs) for RGP lenses for my
eyes. I am now considering the next purchase: do you think it is more
likely to lose a larger-diameter lens, or a smaller-diameter lens?

(I'm speaking about diameters being around 9.40: it's not a full cornea
coverage)

Thanks in advance

 

Pipino, there is no straight answer.
BTW, it is a long time ago that you had problems with contactlenses.
Is the switch from softlenses to RGP lenses making this possible?
Anyway, glad it is working fine.(except for losing one)

Generally, larger is less likely to be "lost", but not necessarily as it
depends upon lid position and tightness, peripheral curvature and edge
lift.

And, by the way, when you increase the diameter, the lens oftentimes
requires a completely different set of peripheral curves and edge
configuration. If it ashperic, it requires a different eccentricity
value.
