Feeling uncomfortable while wearing your contact lenses? It’s likely that you’re wearing them inside out!
According to user feedback, many beginners struggle to distinguish the correct side of their lenses. Some may not even realize they’re wearing them incorrectly and just put them on casually. If they feel discomfort, they’ll flip the lens over and try again. This trial-and-error approach not only risks contaminating the lenses but also increases the chance of scratching the eyes.
When beauty contact lenses don’t fit the cornea properly, they can cause serious issues like corneal and conjunctival damage. Symptoms may include conjunctival redness, dryness, a foreign body sensation, and excessive tearing.
To help beginners avoid these problems, we’ve compiled some easy methods to identify the correct side of beauty contact lenses. These techniques are simple, beginner-friendly, and only require mastering one to ensure your lenses fit smoothly and comfortably.
Here are ways to go:
1. Shape Check: Lift the lens with tweezers and look for an oval teardrop shape.
2. Side View: Make sure it forms a perfect cup with edges standing upright.
3. Taco Test: Gently squeeze the lens and check if the edges point upwards.
If you choose colorful contact lenses, it’s easier to distinguish the right side. Typically, the front side has an evenly distributed, lighter color for a natural effect, while the back side may appear darker and richer, which could cause distorted vision. This difference comes from the lens design, coating, and light refraction, with the front side showing the intended color.
By learning these simple identification methods, you’ll easily tell the right side and become more skilled at wearing and maintaining your colored lenses. Once you master these tips, you’ll never worry about the right side again.
