Need care instructions for Frequency 55 Toric?

Hi. I'm new. I just picked up my Frequency 55 Toric lenses, put them in, and realized I have no care instructions. My eye Dr didn't give me anything, and I can't find anything on the internet. I guess I expected something to come with the lenses, or that the manufacturer site would have instructions, but no. I've previously been wearing standard Acuvue disposables, but my astigmatism has gotten too bad.

Can I clean and store them just using a standard multipurpose solution? And how do I tell if they are inside out or not? One of them is uncomfortable, but I have no idea how to tell if I've got it wrong.

thanks!

It looks like you will have to contact your provider to get instructions.

Why did you start wearing them without having instructions for their care?

My optometrist told me to use Optifree with the Frequency 55, when I had them.

I use Optifree Replenish* as recommended by my doctor. But I am not sure if using another brand that does the same "job" is good.

Thanks everyone. My Dr said I could just use any multi-purpose solution - so I'm using Costco/Kirkland brand and haven't had any problems. And to tell if they're inside out, you just have to hold them up on your finger. If they are right-side out, it will look like a perfect bowl. If inside-out, the rim of the contact will be flipping out.
