Any way to tell if you got your contact lenses switched around??
Question: My left eye is a different prescription than my right. I'm worried that I might have put the left contact in the right side of my case last night and worn them switched around all day. They are soft 14-day disposables. If I can tell by looking out of one eye and seeing if it's weaker than the other tomorrow, I will. Otherwise, is there any way to tell? If I can't figure it out, should I stop wearing them until I get my new set and waste these? It'll be almost two whole weeks.
Answers: Just put them in the way you think is right and then try to see something clearly - both up close and at a distance - with one eye at a time. If you're not sure, take them out and switch eyes and see if that's any better. If your Rx is dramatically different between your two eyes, you should be able to tell the difference. If it's just a little off it shouldn't do any harm even if you do have them switched. I suppose an eye doctor might be able to tell. You could always call and ask.
