Quality is a real issue when it comes to contact lenses. Whether you want some cheap colored contact lenses or you need a prescription filled, you should know that there is a difference between lenses that are cheap for their quality, and lenses that are just plain cheap.
That’s what we’re here for. This cheap contact lenses price guide will help you determine the good stuff from the junk by introducing you to a couple of the lenses that are out there. This should give you an idea of what sort of lenses you can get and at what price.
At $44.99 a box for ninety pairs of lenses, that comes out to roughly a quarter a lens, which isn’t bad at all. The thing about these lenses is that they’re disposable. This means that they can be cheap without having to sacrifice quality. Where other lenses, lenses meant to last weeks on end, would be made cheaply in order to be cheap, these can be made professionally, made well, and still be cheap.
Even at almost fifty dollars a box, it should take you three months to run out, meaning that a year’s worth of lenses might only cost you a couple hundred, which is far less than you might spend on a decent pair of glasses. They automatically moisturize on contact, so they are surprisingly comfortable, not just for disposables, but by any standard.
FreshLook Colorblends are really great, natural looking disposable colored lenses going at $42.99 a box. These weekly/bi-weekly disposable lenses are safe, they look good, and they’re affordable. Each box contains three sets of lenses. Much more than the Focus Dailies per lens, but they also last seven to fourteen times as long.
Choosing between daily or weekly disposables shouldn’t be too tough, just ask yourself if you would rather or not have to bother cleaning your lenses. If you’d like to wear them once and toss’em, go with daily lenses, otherwise, weekly should do.
