I just got contacts today and I can easily put them in my eye and take them out. But the optometrist told me to make sure I don't put them on backwards and the way to know that they're not backwards is to put them on your fingertips and the contact will form a perfect bowl shape, and that's what I did but then I turned it around and it still made a perfect bowl shape so how can I be 100% sure that I'm not putting them on backwards?

Yeah, they hurt if they're inside out - but what your Dr. meant was if you put them on your fingertip, and they're inside out, there is a difference. It my take a while to really see it, but when they're inside out they wont make a "perfect" bowl, they will look as if they are trying to bend down a little bit around the edges - kind of like a small cereal bowl.

well first of all, do you have hard or soft contact lenses?
i myself have soft, so to answer your question when it's backwards on your finger it is not a perfect bowl shape.
instead the top rim curves outward instead of a normal bowl...shape.
lol, well that's about the best advice i can give you [=

okay, well what i do is when i put the solution on one side and it won't, like, slide easily i know it's on the wrong side. because if you place in the bowl shape it should be able to slide around a little.
i know it might not make sense to you, but i do this every single morning. hehe

carefully look at the edges. when it's upside down, to won't make a perfect bowl shape.
*if the edge comes out slightly. it's on the wrong side.
*plus, when you put them in. it will feel very weird. you will know it's backwards. trust me.

Mine are ciba's and if I can read the word CIBA which is clearly imprinted on the side than the correct side is facing outout

the right side is when it's like a rounded bowl, and the wrong side is when it's like a triangular bowl. if you put them on the wrong side you will feel it, it will bug you.

go back to your eye dr, they are more than willing to look at them, ck them and be sure you do know how to tell.

I don't know. My contacts just ask and answer questions.
