Would anyone know the cost (roughly) of contact lenses? I wear glasses for long distances (so im short sighted?) and was thinking of looking into them..
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.
No PHC unfortunately; i also wanted to look into having surgery done; my eyes are relying on my glasses so much now; i hardly used to wear them now i wear them pretty much all day everyday; if i put them on n the morning i have to wear them all day as my eyes adjust to them but if i dont wear them in the morning i can usually get by the day without them.
So i either want to check out contacts or look into the surgery to correct my sight!
I put my contacts (or 'eyes' as i call them!) in first thing in the morning, and take them out right before bed time. I just cant see without them..lol!
I have considered surgery, but im too much of a wuss
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
