which contact goes in which eye?

Question

ok,i just went and got another pair of contacts from eye dr. and he gave me them in the lil plastic case they come in with the writing on the back that says like -1 and -1.50 and i got them mixed up with one another..there both still in the pack but i just dont know which one goes in which eye.
i do know that my left eye is better than my right so what strength would go in which eye...
would the -1 go in my stronger eye or would the -1.5?

Answer 1

-1.5 is your weaker vision, so the -1 would go in your left eye, because that is your stronger eye. When I first got contacts, I had like -1.5 and -2 vision or something and I always put the -1.5 in both eyes, because I had no idea that the different ones were for different eyes. Lol, stupid me. Now, I'm like -2.25 (GR!)...but yeah the -1 goes in your left eye and the -1.5 goes in your right eye...good luck! ^_^

Answer 2

The -1 would go in the stronger eye. The higher the number, the stronger the prescription.

Answer 3

The -1 goes in your stronger eye.

Answer 4

ask your eye doctor. Mine writes an L on the one that goes in the left eye and an R on the right eye because they are two different prescriptions.

Answer 5

The higher the number the stronger the perscription. So use the -1.5 for your weaker eye.

Answer 6

Put them in and cover the left eye if the right eye is still a little blurry then you have them switched.

Answer 7

You need the -1.5 in your weaker, or right, eye. The lower the number (-1.5 is lower than -1.0) the stronger the prescription.

Answer 8

Put them both in the same eye, that way you know one of them is right.

Answer 9

the plastic case should have L for left or R for right look on the case and it will tell you.

Answer 10

try them on and if you can't see swich them around or you could just call the vision center and find out wich is stronger.
