Right and Left Acuvue 2 Colors Opaques in the Same Box?

When you buy a box of Acuvue 2 Colors Opaques, are they all for the same eye or do you need one box for the left eye and one box for the left. Does it make a difference if the contact lenses are plano, with no prescription?

If the lenses are plano or both the same rx, you can use lenses from the same box for both eyes. However, once a lens has been in an eye, it can only be used in that eye. You should never put a lens from your right in in your left, or vice versa. Also make sure you are keeping up with the replacement schedule as set out by your optometrist or the manufacturer.

If you need two different RXs for both of your eyes, you will need two boxes, one in each RX.

Thanks for explaining that. I wondered about it myself.
