Question

How do you tell if your contact lenses are inside out?

Answer 1

If your contact lenses are inside out you may not be able to see as clearly and you may have blurry vision.

If your contact lenses are inside out then you need to remove the contact lenses and put them back in the correct way.

To insert contact lenses the correct way and to make sure the contact lenses is not inside out place the contact lens on the end of your finger with all the edges up in the air to inspect the shape of the lens.

If the contact lens looks like a mixing bowl (edges pointing straight up) you're good to go but if If it looks like a saucer (edges turn downward) it's inside out.

Make sure to fix the contact lens if it's inside out then insert it into your eyes like your normally would.

Answer 2

All types of contact lenses, including extended-wear contacts, should be removed from your eyes before showering to prevent complications.

Even though extended-wear contacts can be worn for multiple days at a time, you're still putting your eyes at risk for infection or irritation if the contacts become wet.
