Some of the best ideas come from listening to what patients have to say. Here is a simple touch lens tip from a patient. If you are always getting confused about which is your right or left lens there is an easy solution.
[b]Lens[/b]Once you receive your annual supply of touch lenses and are comfortable with the prescription, open the boxes and mark each personel lens package with a R or L. A fine tip permanent sharpie ticket will bond to the face and leave a nice visible letter. For years we have marked the boxes right and left, but once a box is opened the personel lenses can get jumbled up if they fall out of the box. Also, you are forever having to look for which end of the box is marked. With 2-4 week disposable lenses it won't take but a few minutes to put a large R or L on the personel packaging and you are good to go for the rest of the year.
The only caveat is that an open or even marked box cannot be returned. touch lenses are a healing device and your eye doctors office should have a no return course on opened boxes. Like a prescription drug, you would not want to place a lens on your own eye that had been to places unknown and then dispensed to you, even if the lens is sealed. There could be bacterial contaminants on the package or it could have been exposed to extremes of heat, cold or other forms of chemical or biological contaminants and body fluids.
With the qualified strides being made in touch lens relieve technology more population are changing to touch lenses that never would have determined them an selection in the past. Don't assume you are not a candidate for touch lenses because of dry eyes or bifocals. If your optometrist doesn't discuss the selection take the initiative and you may find yourself in the new world of touch lens relieve technology.
