The dots are braille for blind people to know which is left, and which is right.

Was always told contacts had writings on them but never saw them even when I wore them. Pretty sure mine didn’t have it.

Wow i never knew contact lenses were this big. I always imagined them about the size of the iris…

Do you have astigmatism?

I was told they use these to weigh down one side when your lens has a specific orientation. I think astigmatism is a factor. My mum also tried bifocal lenses if I remember correctly.

It’s like looking through the scope of a sniper

Number and symbol is an inversion indicator, it helps you recognise if the lens is the correct way or wrong way round when inserting them (designed for you) .
The line of dots are probably orientation markers for astigmatism / toric lenses to ensure the lenses are aligned properly (designed for eye doctor / optometrist).
I’ve never seen these specific lenses before, would be curious to know the brand / lens.

The dots are braille, so blind people know which lens goes into which eye.

Be glad. My last lenses had this, so I could orient them vertically. But the new lenses, they took the symbols away. Very annoying to wait for the lens to turn by itself.

J+J acuvue all have “123” in dot matrix font to identify if theyre inside out.

Mine have dots and an “OK” label, the dots are weights so if you put it upside down the rotate on their own in a minute or 2, the label is to let you know if you are putting them reversed

I have the same, it’s a contact lens for astigmatism. The two rows of dots are “up.”

It’s so we can tell who is the clone.

I’m surprised you could see it.

Apparently mine do also, but I never notice as I’m blind AF when putting them in

conspiracy theorists will say that’s a microchip.
