I got color contacts from Freshlook. I can't recognize which side is inside and which one is outside.

Question

Acuvue contacts have numbers on it, so I can tell which side is outside. But for the color contacts, I have no idea! Please help, thanks!

Answer 1

Put one on the end of your finger and look at the edge of the lens....one way is tapered much more sharply than the other.  If you have the lens "inside out", the edge will appear to flare out...

Answer 2

Put them in and sneeze, if they shoot out and stick to the mirror you got it wrong.........

Answer 3

Also if you squeeze one gently between thumb and forefinger they will curl more natually when they are the right way out.

Failing that put them in and if they are not comfortable they are the wrong way round!  

I do it all the itme with mine - drives me crazy!

Good Luck x

Answer 4

First, the color is brighter on one side, that's the side you want everyone else to see on your eye, so it's right side out when the bright color is touching your finger tip. Also, they have a small FL in black on the lens, the FL needs to on the outside so if you look really, really close in the mirror, you can see the FL.

If they are in your eye inside out, they won't be as comfortable, you'll feel the edges of the lens more.

Answer 5

The inside is a perfect half circle and the outside is curved a little bit at the edges but you can tell when you put them in
