What are the results of a steep lens?

Explanation:
When a lens is steeper than the eye’s surface, it sits tighter on the cornea. That tighter, steeper fit means the lens doesn’t move much with blinking. Because movement helps bring fresh tears under the lens, a steep fit leads to inadequate tear exchange under the lens. So you get minimal movement and poor tear refreshment. The other possibilities describe a looser, more mobile fit (excessive movement) or no change at all, which isn’t how a tight, steep lens behaves.
