Hi Ammaki

I wear contacts for short sightedness, and they cost about $180 for a 3 month supply. I think the cost depends on a few things, like the quality of the lens you are getting, and also how much wear you get out of them (ie-dailies,weeklys, monthlys etc).

I have worn contacts for about 4 years now, and I love them! It couldnt hurt to have an appraisal done and see what your optometrist recommends and he/she can give you all the options cost wise.

Eta: Also once you have a prescription for contacts, there are lots of online discount places you can buy them from. I used to do that and found it alot cheaper, the only reason I stopped was they no longer stocked my script. And not sure if you have PHI, but I find they cover quite a bit of the cost too.
