Question:

please don't tell me to turn them on both sides and see which one makes a perfect cup. Both sides look the same. please help


Answers:

Depending on the type of contacts you may have "123" or "AV" printed on them. If you place your lens on your finger and look at it from the side, you should be able to see the 1-2-3/AV written correctly. If the lens is inside out, the 1-2-3 or AV will appear reversed.
Also if your lenses do not have any markings Verify that the lens is not turned inside out by placing it on your forefinger and checking its profile. The lens should assume a natural, curved, bowl-like shape. If the lens edges tend to point outward, the lens is inside out. Another method is to gently squeeze the lens between the thumb and forefinger. The edges should turn inward. If the lens is inside out, the edges will turn slightly outward.
Check out this link it will show you what it should look like from side profile. http://clecontactlenses.com/guide.html...
