I put my contact lens in the wrong eyes???

Question

Is it bad for the eye?? My two eyes are near identical in vision. I had three lefts and two rights. I lost a right, so now im left with three lefts and one right. My doctor told me its better to switch off every day becasue the lens last longer. So i use one left lens in my right eye. It feels great, and I can see well. s there any danger in doing this??? I know its a bit confusing lol

Answer 1

It won't harm you to do it, but if they are dissimilar enough in strength, the visual imbalance may cause some eye strain.  I'm also assuming you wear the same size and shape in each eye.

Answer 2

You should be fine, but sometimes wearing the prescription for the opposite eye can strain your vision (if the script is too low), or overcorrect (if the script is too high).

If I were you, I would get some refills just to be safe :)

Answer 3

You should be fine. If it affects your eye at all it will be only a slight worsening of your vision when the contact is taken out.
