at the end of the video i'm going to tell you quickly how to get
something that could be lodged under your contact lens and bothering you
out from under it without having to take the lens out and rinse it off
so stick around to the end to see what i'm talking about
so the three things you can do to figure out whether or not that contact
lens is inside out or not it can be tricky in some lenses with
some manufacturers they look very similar
inside out and right side out so the first thing that you want to look at
is make sure that from the side you're going to inspect
the lens from the side have all edges up and it should look like a
bowl like a bowl and with it looking like a
bowl you know that you have the right side
out the right way but if you question it flip it the other way and it shouldn't
come up like this where it's almost vertical on the side
it will come up and veer out it'll almost look
saucer-shaped saucer-shaped so that's the difference the saucer shape
tends to be lower flatter versus the higher
um vertical edge bowl which would be almost deeper than the
shallow inside out lens so that's the first way
to tell the second way to tell is something
called the taco method the taco method refers to the lens
coming up as you're squeezing it so if i had it
sitting on the edge of my finger and i squeezed it
the taco method would look like this it would look like it wants to close in on
itself versus if it's inside out and you do the
same thing it will come up and again veer out the
top and a lot of people like to put it in
the into the crease of their hands the prominent crease
and squeeze and it's a very good way of telling if it's inside out or not
so i have found that to be the the easiest of choice for me and i think
across the board with all manufacturers that is the easiest way to tell
and then you have the third way to tell which is
kind of trial and error you're going to put that lens in
and blink a few times and if you think that you feel it more than you should
if it feels like it's moving more than it should it's inside out
so then remove the lens and just flip it the other way put it back
in and you will find that it's more comfortable if it's sitting
right all right guys so i promised you at the end of the video i would tell you
quickly how to get something out from under your
lens without having to remove the contact lens rinse it off and put it
back in so all i want you to do if it's the
right eye i want you to look to the left if it's the left eye i want you to look
to the right and when you're looking to the opposite
side i want you to just take the lens slide it off center move it around
and then slide it back blink a few times and 9 out of 10 times you're gonna get
what was ever underneath that lens out from under it i
hope that helped i hope you enjoyed this video if you did
