Here, I've broken it down for you and I only hope my math is correct, so go ahead and check it if you'd like.
Daily disposable
contacts lenses on average are about 77 cents each, so for 365 lenses it's $281.05. Since you've got two eyes, though, double that and for 365 PAIRS of daily disposable
contact lenses it comes out to $562.10.
Lets compare that. Weekly lenses are about $4.33 per lens.
(4.33x52)x2=450.32
Monthly (5x12)x2=120
Annual 49.95x2=99.90
In the final analysis, daily lenses only cost about 77 cents each; over the course of a year the total cost will be over five hundred dollars.
At the other end of the spectrum are vial contacts which can last a year. You only need to buy one pair, but that's going to set you back almost a hundred bucks right up front.
So daily disposables are cheaper in the short term, but over time they really add up.
Right?
