A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

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?

Yeah, it only affects the colors on top of the little containers, but you select which is L and which is R.

This seems wildly inefficient for the manufacturer to have the exact same product in two different packages, but it would solve my problem.

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

Your contacts come in pairs? I've never seen that. One box has 90 in one strength and the other box has 90 for the other strength.
