(With some lenses the difference may be subtle.) The Side View Method: Before placing a contact lens on your eye, make sure it looks like half a ball, not a soup bowl with a rim. To view the laser markings, perch the lens on your fingertip (as in Method 1 above), and then hold the lens up to a bright light. For example, one brand has a '123' laser marking near the edge of the lens. Some contact lenses have a laser marking to help you determine if your contact is inside out. If the color looks pale or washed out, the lens probably is inside out. If the color of the handling tint on the lens edge looks very blue (or green, depending on the tint), the lens is correctly oriented. If you wear contacts that have a handling tint that extends to the edge of the lens, place the lens on your fingertip (as in Method 1 above), and look down at its edge from above. If the edge bends outward (toward your thumb and finger), the lens is inside out. If the edge of the lens points upward (resembling a hard-shell taco), the lens is correctly oriented. Gently squeeze the lens, as if you are about to fold it in half. Place the contact lens between the tips of your thumb and forefinger, grasping it near the center so the entire edge is free. If the edge has a noticeable outward bend (like a rimmed soup bowl), the contact is inside out. If your contact forms a perfect cup-shape with the edge perfectly upright, the lens is correctly oriented and is ready to be placed on your eye. Then hold your finger up directly in front of your eyes so you can look at the lens from the side. Place the contact lens on the tip of your index finger so the edge of the lens is pointing up.

Here are ways to tell if your contact is inside out: Method 1: The Side View Even experienced contact lens wearers have trouble with it. It can be difficult to tell if your soft contact lensesВ are inside out, because they are extremely thin and very pliable.
