Focus Dalies Inside Out

How can you tell if your Focus Dalies are inside out? Is there some kind of printed mark?

if they don't fit right one way, they'll feel good the other way, I've put lenses in backwards before, it's quite easy to figure out.

Hold the lens on the tip of a finger and look at it from the side. You should see a bowl shape with no rim.

If you look at it from the side and see a little rim sticking out, the lens is inside out.

I found this video clip where an optician takes a giant contact lens and shows you what it looks like inside out. It's pretty cool.

Well, you barely managed to brush up against answering my question. All I wanted to know about was the inside out thing, not "AquaRelease Technology." That's got nothing to do with my question.

It seems that when you put them in backwards you would be able to tell. If they aren't a perfect bowl shape when you are putting them in, they are backwards. When I put mine in backwards, I know it right away.

Here's a picture that I believe I've seen on Lens 101 before. It shows the difference between a "normal" contact lens and one that's inside out.

Many contact lenses have what they call an "inversion mark." It usually says "123" or something profound like that. If the numbers and/or letters are backward, then you know your contacts are inside out.

Okay, Sk8erBoi, that sounds great. Thanks for posting the pictures, that really helps.

I know the Acuvue 1 Days have "123" and I've heard that the Focus Dailies have an "inversion mark" but I've never been able to find it! Has anyone else?

Hi tech42er,

It's strange. I tried doing a Google search for "1 Day Acuvue inversion mark" and found all kinds of weird stuff, but not one picture of this mark on the contact lenses. Maybe someone who wears these lenses can put up a picture of an inversion mark for us so we can see what it looks like.

Anyone?

So, Focus Dailies wearers. Have you found this advertisement to be true? Does the "visibility tint" make it easy to "see them in the case and on your finger"?

Are they "barely noticeable on the eye"? Do they "fit your lifestyle?"

I think most contact lenses these days will have a blue visibility tint. I think it helps, especially if you drop the lens in the sink, etc. and I certainly never had/needed an inversion mark on my lenses to ensure I got them the right way in. Never tried the Focus Dailies so cannot comment directly on these.

The tint is so pale , no one will notice it anyway when you are wearing the lens.

Thanks for the information, knotlob. I bet that visibility tint comes in handy sometimes.
