so I could tell which one goes in which eye without glasses.

    Here’s a thought for ya, perhaps you could see about ordering two boxes of contacts, one box strictly for your left eye prescription, and the other box strictly for your right eye…

    Dunno much about ordering contacts though, I’ve only ever had a few pairs of contacts given to me right there at the eye doctor and he wrote L and R on them for me.

    I’m not sure if they allow ordering them in that way or if they absolutely have to pair them up in shipping according to your prescription.

    Still seems if you could get them ordered in separate boxes it would make things a lot easier for ya.

      A permanent ink marker making a big slash across the container for one of your eye’s contacts ahead of time makes things easier to find. Just look for the big line across the container and you know that it’s your left or right eye, and the other isn’t. The important thing is to always do the same eye between orders, so you don’t get used to the line always being the left and all of a sudden it changes to right from one order to another.

      That’s how I get them. I can tell which box is right/ left, but the writing on the individual packages is very tiny.
