i have just got contacts and i had to get so special ones as i have astigmatism and my eyes reacted to the normal ones- they work out $70 per eye for 3 months supply- so $140 every 3 months. The ones i have are monthly ones, but you cant wear them 24 hours a day, so i take them out to sleep.
love them!!!
looked into eyes surgery as well- its about $2K per eye
still considering it one day
