BOTH MY EYES ARE THE SAME AS WELL AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM WEARING THE LENSES BUT MAKE SURE YOU DONT MIX UP THE RIGHT AND LEFT AFTER THE FIRST WEAR !! I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE OK UNTIL I SAID IT AT MY LAST EYE TEST AND THE OPTOMETRIST TOLD ME THAT IF YOU HAD AN INFECTION IN ONE EYE YOU CAN PASS IT TO THE OTHER ONE BY NOT USING THE SAME LENS EACH TIME IN THE SAME EYE !!

Almost certainly.
There are lenses that come with different fitings (Base Curve: BC) as well as powers, but if all the numbers are the same, you should be ok, and there is no real left and right to your lenses at this time.
There is one exception, which I mention because I've had people do it: when you've put a lens in your right eye, the next one IS A LEFT!
Yes, two lenses in the same eye. The hazard of putting lenses in before that first cup of coffee in the morning.
"I 've lost my left lens, and the vision's all blurry in the right!"
...an easy condition to diagnose.

yes you can. as long as they are the same power and size, go for it. my eyes are the same as well, and I always mix my boxes up. It's not a big deal. It makes no difference.
