Try swapping them over.I only wear them when I’m on my bike or walking in the peak district in winter and occasionally I get one that just isn’t right, I wear them for distance and the pair I’ve had in today the left one was fine but the right was as if I didn’t have one in. I’ve had others out of the same box and they’ve been fine.
I cant do that, I have a different prescription in each eyeTry swapping them over.
I've worn lenses for over 40 years and never had a bad one.
I've mixed them up, and it's only one that doesn't feel right when I do. Not sure why it's only one though.
OpticianMine are monthly and I wear them for 12 + hours a day.
Do you get yours from an optician or the internet?
So do I,I cant do that, I have a different prescription in each eye
No If that was the case they would both be wrong. Besides I put a big L and R on the boxes then put them either side of my mirror so theres no chance of mixing them up.So do I,
Is there a chance you got them mixed up?
You would think so.No If that was the case they would both be wrong. Besides I put a big L and R on the boxes then put them either side of my mirror so theres no chance of mixing them up.

A question for contact lens wearers, do you sometimes get a lens that just doesn’t work?

If it feels wrong, it is probably inverted. If it feels ok, but isn't focused, perhaps you have them the wrong way round if the prescription varies between eyes.A question for contact lens wearers, do you sometimes get a lens that just doesn’t work?
Not necessarily. The weaker lens in the weaker eye would have soft focus but the stronger lens in the better eye might not be noticed.No If that was the case they would both be wrong.
Starboard and port contact lenses!red for the left and green for the right.

Usually, an inverted lens feels wrong straight away. Occasionally though, it can feel ok looking straight ahead, but odd if you move your eyes sideways or up and down. The focus is still correct except at the sides.Inside out feels very wrong straight away, even with my very thin (low prescription) daily disposables. Oddly, I can see OK with them, they just feel wrong so I pop the offending one out and turn it outside out and replace it in my eye, usually with a drop of the packaging liquid.
