different types of contact lens..

Hi,
"Different types of contact lens are put on each eye."
Does that correctly convey the intended meaning that if the left eye has type A, then right eye has type B? (i.e. they're different)

I assume we are talking about one person, and not 100 people.
I'd say "A different type of contact lens is put on each eye."

In the US, we put contacts in not on our eyes.

Some people will wear a contact lens for distance vision in one eye and reading in the other. I couldn't do that! I'd get dizzy!

"A different type of contact lens is put on each eye." Wouldn't this be ambigious? Wouldn't it imply that a different type of contact lens (which is a pair, with both of the lens being of the same type) is put on each of the eyes? Here 'a different type' would mean there are many different types of contact lens being tested, and a type that's different than the one tried previously is tried on.

Hi GG,
Welcome back.

Good catch re in/on.

Note -- "lens" is singular. The plural is "lenses."

Thanks for that, khoff. Almost forgot.

I'm a little confused about the situation here...is it one person trying out different types of lenses, perhaps before buying the ones they like?

And WELCOME BACK, NONA!

(Notice any changes?)

Thanks

One or two...eek

Hi Nona.
Not exactly. This is a study where say 100 people try out 100 different types of contact lenses.
But when they try it out, a different type of lens is used for each eye, to speed up the process.
