When first putting in a contact lens, how do I know which side is the right side!


Question:

When first putting in a contact lens, how do I know which side is the right side?

Whenever I put in new contacts, I'm not sure which side is the side my eye is supposed to touch. Like after opening a case that has a new contact lens, how do I know which side to put in?


Answers:

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.
