How to identify contact lens brand?

I have a somewhat unusual question. For the past year or so I've used
ProClear Toric lenses with pretty good results. While distance vision
is outstanding, near vision is negatively impacted, requiring reading
glasses. In fact, removing the contacts significantly improved my
near vision.

I told my optometrist this and she game me a different lens to use in
my right eye. It is a different brand altogether and may be a
different prescription. This greatly improved my near vision and
eliminated the need for reading glasses. Unfortunately she apparently
forgot to properly note what brand and specs she gave me. The trial
lens needs to be replaced but we can't figure out what kind of lens it
is. I've tried several other lenses trying to figure out which kind
it is but no luck so far.

So, my question is this, is there a way to identify a lens brand and
prescription? The trial lens has a lighter tint than the ProClear
Toric. It also had three edge marks. One large and two smaller, kind
of like this |ll . There are no other markings on the lens that I
can see.

Thanks.
