Hi, I'm thinking of buying B&L SofLens 66 lenses over the internet. I use
them for the left eye only, but when I try to place an order the websites
insist on specifications for the Right lens too. My question is: are the R
and L lenses of this brand identical, so that I can plug in the same power
etc values in the R lens (OD) panel as are in the OS panel and wear the R
lens in the left eye? On my current package of these lenses, there's no
obvious (to me) indication that the lenses are L lenses. Thanks in advance.
Ced.

If they don't allow you to leave a blank space for the r lens panel
then I'd just do
as you suggested: just plug in the value of the left lens in the right
lens spot.
Only drawback I'd see that you will have to order 2 boxes instead of
just one.
