Contact lens Advice

Sir, I have to order lens online. The only problem I am facing is that I don't know the base curve which would fit my eyes. The website provides for spectacular prescription conversion where I can easily convert glass power to lens power but I don't know whether the provided base curve of lens would fit my eye or not. The base curve they are providing is 8.5mm. Also I have no astigmatism, I am myopic. Any suggestions in this regard?

Usually universal base curve is recommended.
