i got these new Night & Day contacts...it is so hard to tell which way is the correct way to put them on...with my old contacts they were so obvious when u looked at them, and they had letters on the side that you could see

also these are totally clear while my old ones had a slight tint in the middle so i could see that they were in my contact case...these are so invisible that i cant tell without fishing around if they are in there

Hold your contact on the tip of your finger. If it forms a smooth bowl with the edges pointing upwards, you are putting it in the correct way. If the edges flare out slightly towards the sides, you have it backwards.
As for fishing them out of your contact case, I just stick my finger in and the contact sticks right to it. Turn it around, check that it is right, add a drop of saline (I can't put my contacts in dry, very uncomfortable for me), stick it in.

Yup.

If you put your contact in and you can feel it, then it is inside out. Take it out turn it inside out and reinsert :D
