How To Tell If Contact Lens Is Inside Out?

Place the lens on your fingertip and look at the shape from the side

If the edges flare outward like a bowl with a wide rim, it is likely inside out

If the edges point straight up and form a neat cup shape, it is likely correct

Hold the lens up to the light and check the rim

If the rim looks uneven or outward-facing, it is likely inside out

If the lens feels uncomfortable or blurry after insertion, it may be inside out

Check for any markings or indicators on the lens if provided by the manufacturer

Gently pinch the lens edges together

If the edges come together easily and smoothly, it is likely correct

If the edges resist and flare outward, it is likely inside out
