Are Contact Lens Specific to Each Eye?
May 29th, 2010 | See the Top Answers to this Question Below
hey there, I wear contact lens at level 3.0 for both eyes. Ok so I was wondering, when I order contact lens it requires me to buy a box for each eye, I was wondering lets say I order a box just for my left eye but I use the lens in my right eye too, is that possible?

The prescriptions we get have a specific order for each eye.
If both of your eye prescriptions say the same thing, then you can use the same lenses in each eye.
Contact lenses themselves are made to go in any eye, they aren’t specific to left or right.
Contact lenses are supposed to be one size fits most, unless you have an astigmatism. from what it sounds like, you don’t have one so you should be fine.
you would know if you have the wrong contact in, or if it is backwards
it stings
No it is not possible/ You must use right lenses in your right eye and left ones in your left eye. Each of your eyes is shaped differently and may have a different curvature therefore you cannot switch from right to left and vice versa. So, although prescription may be the same for both eyes the shape of your eye is not for both eyes.
Contact Lenses are specific for eye as central curvature may differ in LE/RE.further practitioner has to take diameter of lens into consideration in certain cases.
