contact lens?

Question

i really want to try wearing the contct lens but i don't know so much about it...i'm wearing glasses right now...is it expensive? how much i have to spend per month? is it good for our eyes? how long i can use the contact lens?

Answer 1

I use a special contact lens for an astigmatism, so it costs more than regular contacts. I spend about $120 for a six-month supply. My contacts last about a month as long as they are maintained properly. Some health insurance plans will pick up part of the cost, also. The eye exam will run between $70 and $100. Again, your health insurance may pick up some of that.

You may want to just get the exam, then before you order the contacts through your eye doctor, check www.1800contacts.com and www.walmart.com. Sometimes they will run a discount or free shipping if you order an entire years' supply.

Answer 2

UK or USA?

contact lenses come in daily use and monthly, and price varies according to which type you use. generally you can get them (in the UK anyway) from your optician through monthly payments of between £15 and £30 for daily contacts, which they send out. daily lenses are better for the eyes as they're clean every day - some people get eye infections from using monthly ones

basically - talk to your optician, you can generally try them free to see if you like them, and they'll be able to give you a quote. it's worth shopping around once you've got your eye prescription to see if you can get them cheaper elsewhere

Answer 3

for me it's around US$15 a month. i live in taiwan so the prices might be different, though. it's not good if you keep it on all the time or wear it too much, and sometimes it hurts/gets really hard to take off. and it depends on what kind of lenses you're getting.

Answer 5
