How much do contact lenses cost?
The cost of contact lenses can vary greatly. If you have a difficult prescription or need correction for problems like astigmatism, your lenses will be more expensive. If you have no special requirements, your options will range from daily disposables (fairly high cost) to GP contacts, which are thought by many to provide the greatest value. GP contacts, though initially more expensive, can last for years and are inexpensive to care for. Consumer Reports called GP contact lenses a better buy “because they’re more durable and cheaper to maintain.” Fortunately, GP contacts can also accommodate any prescription, no matter how difficult, because they are custom-made for each individual wearer.
Wearing contact lenses is a popular alternative to wearing glasses and our offices are dedicated to making your contact lenses experience safe, enjoyable and affordable. Because contact lenses are available in many different materials and for virtually all prescriptions including bifocals and astigmatism, the cost of the lenses can vary significantly. Prices for contact lenses can range from $21 for a box of six disposable lenses to $180 for a single bifocal contact lens. Our doctors will use their training and experience to fit you with the best possible lens for your prescription and ocular condition and will continue to work with you to make sure you are wearing contact lenses that are comfortable, clear and most importantly safe for your eyes. We will be happy to discuss your contact lens options during your visit in our office.
