Left & Right contact lenses - which is which ?
I use contact lenses and every so often when I am with the optician (not often, really) they point out that I have the wrong lense in the wrong eye.
This is despite the fact that I am normally very carefull to make sure they go into the correct side of the lense container.
The thing is that apparently there is a little R etched into the right lense and this helps to establish which is which.
Does anyone have any idea how on earth you are supposed to see it when you can't focus because you don't have your lenses in ?
Since I don't use disposables and the prescriptions are similart but not the same, if I get the wrong one in the wrong eye it can be quite a while before I work out there is something wrong.
Is there is an easy way or a knack - holding it up to the light or whatever ?
Thanks,
