Hi All, no not quite! The top of the picture is the end where the lens is placed, in my experience the lens doesn't fall off it just sticks there kind of like it sticks to your finger when you want to apply it with out using an application tool. And the bottom of that picture the side with the wide flanged end that is the side you look through. You do need to look toward a strong light source either up at your light over your bathroom sink or even looking toward a window has worked. Then if the lens is correctly oriented you could place it right to your eye but if the inversion mark is not reading correctly i.e. "123" it is inside out and you need to flip it so its right side out! The lens vue is great to see if the lens is clean or correctly oriented but it is an "extra step" and I find myself fumbling more to get the contact lens perfectly centered on it than is worth so I have just returned to applying it directly with my finger. It does pretty much stick to the lens vue device though but sometimes one side rather than the bottom flat surface sticks to the lensvue and it might be hard to find the inversion mark-that is what I mean by the fumbling around to get the lens perfectly centered. Not worth it to me but others swear by it!
