how much do contacts cost?

Question

whatwhats better contacts or glasses?

Answer 1

Contacts cost between $20- $70 per box, depending on brands and if you have astigmatism. They usually come six to a box and a box can be good for three months if they are two week lenses, and six months if they are monthly lenses. From my experience, once people successfully wear contacts they don't go back to glasses too often. Vision seems to be better in contacts and they feel more natural.

Answer 2

That's like asking how much does a car cost. There are all different kinds of cars and therefore all different prices. Do you want disposable, extended wear, high oxygen, low oxygen, new technology such as Acuvue Oasys with Hydraclear Plus. Oh and it appears your other answerers have overlooked another option (many times the most economical one). Disposable contact lenses have taken over the majority of the contact lens market but there are still some very good non disposable contact lenses that are designed to last for prolonged periods of time. (Some even come with a one year wearable guarantee). So the first thing you need to do is go in and talk to your doctor and after talking with him or her about your lifestyle needs decide what type lenses would be best for you. After deciding what type of lens would be best for you then you can get a better idea "how much do contacts cost". Hope this helped.

Answer 3

First of all - you need to be geared up for coloured contacts by means of your optometrist. If you're new to them they are going to most likely cost a becoming rate starting from $30-a hundred and twenty. There are freshlook and acuvue colours-they're each two week alternative contacts and variety from $30-forty in step with field (6 lenses in each and every field). It is unlawful to buy them in a cosmetic deliver retailer or wherever and not using a legitimate prescription. Hope this is helping!!

on glasses vs lenses, i wore them both and it depends. give contacts a try and if they r comfortable to ur eyes, thats the best choice, if cost is not a factor. i have undergone LASIK for permanent removal of numbers. recommend that too but its usually done after 18-20 yrs of age. its an outpatient procedure with minimal or no pain and just like that, u r free of glasses or lenses....
take care. -aaveg.

Answer 5

well i have bad eye vision. so wen i went to my country they gave me contacts wen i came back i got glasses, contacts are comfortable but they arent for the first few weeks. it also depends on how old u r im 13 and i got them this year but in america they say u have 2 be 18 years or older!! It is ur choice if ur scared of contacts get designer glasses which cost from 250 and up. But for contacts i think its 20-70$ monthly but for color contacts and vision at the same time is probably 300!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

$18-$60+ per box.(Walmart) I would highly recommend a back-up pair of glasses- it is important to not wear your contacts all the time- say skip one day a week to give your eyes a rest from the contacts

Answer 7

well, depends on what you like, for the "i'm emo without the label" look, glasses, [<3] and for a cool, "im too cool to wear glasses even though they look good" kinda thing, get contacts
