Is there really an inside-out mark on Acuvue Oasys contacts?

Every website I see, it says there is an inside-out mark on Acuvue Oasys contacts (123). However, I do not see any marking like that at all, no matter where I look from. I know its on other Acuvue contacts, but is it definitely on the Oasys ones? Also, if there isn't the inside out mark, how can I tell if my contacts are inside out or not. I cannot tell the difference when I flip it around. I know one way is suppose to be perfectly round and the other way is suppose to have the sides flare out, but I can't tell the difference between the 2.

My acuvue oasis dont. IF they are kind of oval and the sides are easily cavin in toward the middle you got them the right way. If they are kind of stiff and sitting circular they are inside out.

The way i can tell if the contact is inside out is if it looks like a shallow bowl it's wrong. But if it looks more like a deeper bowl, then that is the right side.

I don't think so. I never encountered any contact lenses from Acuvue that has that.

I see. That's a good way to determine it then. I'm glad you shared it here. Frankly I really don't know how too.

So it does not really matter whether its oval or not as long as its deeper then that's the side that is correct?

The way they told me to check, is when it's inside out is when it looks like a shallow bowl. It's right if it looks like a deeper bowl. If you have problems just turn it both ways and look at them, you'll be able to tell the differenc. Sometimes even though I've been wearing contacts pretty much all my life, I still get confused. But if I think it's right and they don't feel comfortable in my eye, I take it out and compare and then you can see the difference.
