Help! I Made A Very Silly Mistake With My Contacts! Scared?!?

Okay, today i opened my contacts. I opened a Right box, but distracted by company i was in a rush and opened the OTHER right sitting in the box, instead of my left. My left and right are different powers.
Left: 3.50
Right: 3.75
BUT because my left eye has astigmatism, my optometrist pushed up the powers of my lens to:
Left: 3.75
Right: 4.00
She pushed up the powers because the astigmatism in my left eye isn’t bad so could get away with wearing normal coloured contacts (sorry i should have stated that. it’s hard to find coloured contacts that come with astigmastism).
So i went about my business wearing 4.00 in my left and 4.00 in my right. I couldn’t feel the difference but i don’t think it’ll be good in the long run… unless someone professional tells me it’s fine?!
What should i do?
If i open a left and throw away the other right i’ll be left with a useless left contact. If i continue with this for a month and the next month, open a PROPER pair, i’ll be left with 2 useless lefts. But i might be able to get 2 rights of 4.00. If i can?
Please help me! I don’t want these contacts to go to waste!

Wearing O2 Optix, Borderline Astigmatism, Very Dry Eyes (doc Doesn’t Believe Me) What Do You Recommend?

Well, I had some issues getting into contacts again after having DD and I just went back to try again last Thursday and I mentioned my previous problem about not being able to see but for maybe less than an hour before they got blurry and uncomfortable. I tried O2 Optix last time and this is my second time and I’m still very uncomfortable. I’m positive that I have dry eye because my eyes are constantly dry with or without contacts and it’s really a problem for me. However, my optometrist refuses to even consider the possibility of my having dry eye because of my age (19). He also won’t treat me for the (borderline) astigmatism in my left eye. He thinks I am simply too OCD. I’ve heard about all the problems with OPTIX, but has anyone else had a similar experience, and if so, which brand of lenses did you feel more comfortable with?
