How Much Do Contact Lenses Cost? A Guide to Contact Lens Pricing

Wondering how much contact lenses cost? In this guide, we'll go through the different factors that affect lens prices and provide tips on how to find the best deals without compromising on quality or eye health.

Factors Affecting Contact Lens Prices

The cost of contact lenses can vary depending on several factors. Here are some of the most important ones to keep in mind:

  • Lens type (daily disposables, monthly lenses, etc.)
  • Lens material and technology
  • Manufacturer and brand
  • Prescription strength and other specific needs
  • Where you purchase your lenses

Generally, daily disposable lenses are more expensive per lens but can be more cost-effective in the long run as you don't need to buy lens solution. Monthly lenses have a lower per-lens cost but require more maintenance.

Lenses with the latest technology for comfort and oxygen permeability, such as [[brand]]Dailies Total 1[[brand]], often come at a higher price than more basic alternatives. Established brands also tend to be more expensive.

If you have specific vision needs, such as astigmatism or presbyopia, your lenses may be more expensive as they are more specialized. The same applies to uncommon prescriptions.

Finding the Best Contact Lens Prices

Buying lenses online is often the most cost-effective option. At Netlens, you can find a wide range of lenses at competitive prices, without compromising on quality or service.

Here are some tips to keep your contact lens costs down:

  • Buy lenses for an extended period, such as six months or a year
  • Look out for promotions and special offers
  • Consider trying a more affordable alternative within the same lens type
  • Always follow your eye care professional's prescription and replace lenses as scheduled

Remember, the cheapest option is not always the best when it comes to your eyes. Be sure to choose high-quality lenses that suit your needs, even if they cost a little more.

What's Included in the Contact Lens Price?

When you buy contact lenses online, it's important to check what's included in the price. At reputable retailers like Netlens, the following is always included in your lens purchase:

  • Contact lenses in an unopened original package
  • Shipping costs within Sweden
  • Customer service and support
  • Open purchase and exchange policy (terms may vary)

Some opticians may charge extra for lens fittings, check-ups, and lens solution. When you shop online, you often avoid these additional costs.

How to Compare Contact Lens Prices

To find the best price for your lenses, it's smart to compare prices from different retailers. However, make sure you're comparing apples to apples! Always check:

  • Price per lens, not just per box
  • That it's the exact same product (brand, lens type, prescription, etc.)
  • What's included in the price (shipping, lens solution, etc.)
  • Delivery time and terms for open purchase/returns

By comparing carefully, you can find the retailer that offers the best overall value for money, not just the lowest price.

Summary

Contact lens prices are affected by factors such as lens type, brand, and where you shop. To find the best prices without compromising on quality, consider:

  • Buying online from a reputable retailer
  • Choosing lenses for an extended wear period
  • Comparing total value, not just the lowest price
  • Following your eye care professional's prescription for eye health

Regardless of your budget, there are contact lenses for you. By being a smart consumer, you can find affordable quality that provides both clear vision and healthy eyes. At Netlens, we're always happy to assist you with personalized advice on finding the right lenses at the right price!
