Not only to get lenses FITTED, but also to check whether your eyes are suitable for contact lenses in the first place. If you have severe astigmatism or severe dry eyes, for instance, many crazy contact lenses will make your eyes really uncomfortable and could even harm your eyes.

I would say: The base curve measurement is one that your eye doctor measures. Everyone's eyes are a bit differently shaped, so this is an important measurement. If it's not correct, then you could have some problems - like with how moist your eyes are and how much oxygen is being passed through or around them. The wrong measurement here could even result in an eye infection. You're best off staying with what measurement you were given and don't vary from it. If you want a second opinion on what your base curve should be, then go to a different eye doctor or optometrist and see what measurement they take. I hope this helps.
