To tell if your contacts are in correctly: Ensure they feel comfortable without irritation. Vision should be clear, not blurry. Look in a mirror; the lens should be on the cornea's center. If you experience redness, tearing, or consistent discomfort, you may need to reinsert them. Always follow the proper hygiene steps to avoid infections.
