I've been informed that cooper-flex and frequency 55 are the same lens
marketed by cooper under 2 brands, the former being sold only to Kaiser
Permanente. I have no problem with that except the base curves are
nominally different, 8.6 in the former and 8.7 in the latter.  To me
this means they are NOT the same lens. Any ideas?

Cooper recently bought Ocular Sciences, and they are "integrating" the
two product lines together.  I think "assimilating" is a better
analogy.  The line between the two product lines is getting quite
blurry.    (pun intended)
A lot of the Ocular Sciences product was slightly larger and flatter,
some was aspheric and some was not.  I think you are smart to not
listen to the company line and assume that "equivalent product" is
necessarily so.  You still need to trial fit the changed product, IMHO.
(in my humble opinion)
