I just got these contacts that I ordered from fresh look color blends and there are two boxes...??


Question: And is each one specificlly for an eye (right or left) but there is no R or L sign but is it supposed to be a specific sign?? Pls help!?
Answers: If they are non-prescription, then on the box where it would normally have the power on there, it should say PWR 0.00 on both boxes. In the case of plano (no correction contacts for cosmetic purposes) it doesnt matter which is right and left because they have no correction in them. And Freshlook lenses only come in once base curve so you can't mess that up. I only hope you had an exam and fitting for these contacts by an actual doctor and you didn't just ordered these all willy-nilly from the net.
I wear them just for cosmetic purposes also. There is no right and left, since your vision is apparently the same in each eye right now. Freshlook contacts only have the FL on each lens, to help you make sure you put them in your eye correctly. Even if you DID need vision correction, those particular contacts still would not have an R or L to help you know which contact goes with which eye. You would just have to go by the scrip on the contact box, and match it to the scrip the eye doctor gave you.

But for you, it really doesn't matter if you do get them mixed up sometime, since you don't need vision correction.
Dont order from them again, even though you should know the strength of each eye, we sometimes forget and it should say on the box.
if you know which one of your eyes is worse, that will be the one with the stronger perscription. for example, if one box says -1.0 and another box says -1.5 then the -1.5 would go with your worse eye. if the boxes both have the same perscription, it obviously doesnt matter
if their just coloured ones for cosmetic use only, they can go in either eye.
Honey call your eye doc and have them tell you what your prescription is in each eye.. write it down so you don't lose it and then look at each box for the same numbers that the doc gives you and you will be able to determine which one goes in which eye
If there isnt a prescription in them (just for cosmetic reasons) then it doesnt matter which box goes in which eye. If they are a plano lens, you can put in either in any eye.
There is no such thing as a contact lens designed specifically for a right eye or a left eye, they are universal in that way.
For example: Say you have a prescription of -1.00 in both eyes (granted the base curve is the same) then you could put any -1.00 of your lenses in any of your eyes.
Good luck!
If there is no correction in the lenses, it does not matter what eye that you put either one in. For eyeglasses it is called a plano lens. Over the counter sunglasses have plano lenses. You can wear them upside down and your vision would be the same. You would just look strange. If there was a problem your doctor would have caught it when he checked the fit. As long as you see OK with them in, there is no problem.
Call the Dr. you got them from and ask which is which. If you got them online you will need to look at your prescription and see which prescription is for which eye.
