Inside Out Acuvue

Is there a really easy way to tell if your Acuvue contacts are inside out? That "bowl" thing seems to really confuse people. Does anyone have a better way?

How about a picture that illustrates this "bowl" principle. That's when I finally understood it--when I saw a picture.

just put it on your finger tip and figure which side goes up...simple as that

Q: How can I tell if my contact lens is inside out?

A: Look at it and see if it's inside out. Simple as that.

I think Momalina2 is looking for something a little more specific, don't you?

That's cute.

It's hard to describe verbally, but if you look at a contact lens sitting on the tip of your finger and it's a simple semi-circle, kind of like the letter "c" (for contacts

) you've got it right.

However, if it's inside out, the rim of the lens will flare out and form a kind of "lip" all around.

See how hard that is to describe without pictures?
