How can I know my contact lens is inside out?

[Killen]

I am new to wear contacts and I am wondering if the contact lens can be inside out when putting them in.If so,how can I know they are inside out?

If your contact lenses are turned inside out, this will cause some discomfort when blinking your eyes and won't fit close to your eye, as well as cause some slight vision problems. While it's on your finger, an inside-out lens will look like a U with flared edges. A lens in the proper bowl shape, with smooth edges, is in the correct position.

Place the contact lens on your finger. If the lens is inside out, it will look like a U with flared edges. While a lens in a bowl shape with smooth edges is in the correct position.
