Contact Lens: Cost, Types, Safety and More

How Much Do Contact Lenses Cost?

The cost of contact lenses depends on several factors. This is why it is impossible to determine the exact price of a lens. These factors play significant roles in determining the price of a lens:

  • How many lenses a person purchases
  • Whether you need a specifically designed lens for a particular condition, like astigmatism
  • Whether the lens is soft or hard
  • Whether or not the lenses have tints
  • Whether replacement schedule

You can use your flexible savings account (FSA) or health savings account (HSA) to pay for your contact lenses. However, it is difficult to get vision benefits from health insurers.

In some cases, a health insurer may provide vision care as an alternative extra for an additional fee. You must speak with your plan provider to understand the claiming process if your plan covers the cost of contact lenses.
