two-week disposable contacts?

Question

Well, I have two-week disposable contacts and today is my first time changing them. Does anybody know how to differentiate the contact packages? Like which contact is for my right eye and which one for my left?

Help?

Answer 1

Call the doc that gave your prescription. Each container should have numbers on it, the strength. Check them. For me, both are the same, so all my contacts say the same thing.

But DO check with the doc first. THEN, write down what he says on a cabinet door, on the inside. Someplace you won't lose it! If the containers can be labeled safely, do that.

By the way, if money is tight, you can wear those longer than 2 weeks if they are daily use, if you take them out at night.

Answer 2

When you bought them the salesperson should have wrote a big "R" on one of the boxes, meaning that one is for your right eye. If there is no marking you have to look at your prescription paper and it will tell you your left eye is a certain strength (example: -2.75), and your right eye is a certain strength (example: -1.5). Then you just look at the boxes to see which one goes with which eye.

Answer 3

well... did u get a copy of your contact perscription? if you do, it should say on the box what degree it is, the you just follow the number on the box and then on the perscription... it should tell you... also do you know which eye is worse than the other one? it so the one with the higher nember is for the eye that's worse... hope this helps...good luck!

Answer 4

I don't have that problem cause both my eyes are the same.
Try them in your eyes, you should be able to tell if they are in the right eyes right away.
If you can't call your doctor to see which is for which. It may be possible they are the same prescription so they will work in both eyes.
