Contact Lens City

Question by Left in the Dust: Does anyone know what that faint clear line on a contact lens is?
I wear soft contact lenses (I believe they are Toric lenses) and there is a faint clear line near the outer edge of each lens. The line points toward the outer edge and toward the center of the contact lens. Just curious if anyone know what this line is for. Thanks!

I must thank you for asking this Q, as I have been wearing toric lenses for 20 years, and nobody ever told me this!!
No wonder sometimes they are comfortable, and sometimes not!
Hope this helps x

“Look for the very light line that is marked on one side of the lens. This is only the case in toric lenses. The line extends vertically down the lens. After you see it, use the free index finger to spin the lens around until this line is facing toward you. This way, the contact will go to the bottom of your eye when you insert it. If you have difficulty seeing this fine line, then wear your eyeglasses until you are ready to put the lens into your eye.”
