  1. The prescription in the two is so close to the same you likely won't notice any difference and it definitely will not hurt your eyes.


  2. One of the lenses should have a small dot, probably the right one.

  3. Use -3.5 for your right eye and -3.25 for your left eye. However if you have interchanged the lens between eyes, you can find out by wearing lens in your right eye (which is the weak eye). If you have blurry vision, then you have worn the wrong lens.

  4. -3.50 is for the weaker eye and -3.25 is for the stronger eye.  It's probably a good idea to call up your optometrist tomorrow just to double check, though.  :)

  5. call you doctor's office and ask. they just have to look in your chart and they can tell you over the phone. from what you have described it sounds like the -3.50 goes in your right eye while the -3.25 goes in your left, but just to be 100% sure, call and ask. they are only one step apart, but IT DOES MATTER.

  6. i have +4.50 and -3.50 and the +4.50 goes in my right eye (my worst eye)  and the other my left :) how old are you? im only 14 and my eyes are terrible!!
