I wish my contacts packaging had raised numbers...

so I could tell which one goes in which eye without glasses.

My contacts case has a white cap for the left lens and a green cap for the right lens.
But I kinda take it you mean like when you peel open the packaging on brand new lenses..? Yeah I hear where you're coming from there.
- Yeah. Dailies. I have to zoom in on my camera to find the right one.
  
  Here's a thought for ya, perhaps you could see about ordering two boxes of contacts, one box strictly for your left eye prescription, and the other box strictly for your right eye...
  Dunno much about ordering contacts though, I've only ever had a few pairs of contacts given to me right there at the eye doctor and he wrote L and R on them for me.
  I'm not sure if they allow ordering them in that way or if they absolutely have to pair them up in shipping according to your prescription.
  Still seems if you could get them ordered in separate boxes it would make things a lot easier for ya.
- The ones I have here have different colors on the left and right eye daily lens packages. They did it with colors, the brand uses a light green and white, and they just flipped the major and the accent color.
  
  You order them as a right and the left and they have different packaging for each one? So if you were ordering +2.00, you could choose if you want them packaged for your right eye or packaged for your left eye?
  
  When I wore contacts mine came in pairs, different colours. The packs were also shaped with a tab where you pull the foil part off. If you’re holding them most convenient to open, its obvious which is which.
  I guess OP has a really shitty lens supplier

I use a fat black Sharpie on my boxes. Even the little L/R sticker they started using is a bit fuzzy.
Question: Do you actually replace your dailies every day? Had some for a short time, got about 5-7 days out of a pair. The very second they felt off/uncomfortable I'd toss 'em. Just doesn't seem they really needed chunked out every day.
- I can tell the boxes apart but i usually grab one of each, throw them in my pocket or bag, and put them in later. I was bad about sleeping in mine until i got an eye infection. If i only wear them for a little while i put them in a plastic case and reuse the next day. Most nights I don't remember to take them out until I get into bed, so they just go in the trash.
