Annual Contact Lens Cost
Contact lens cost calculation:
Lenses per Year = 365 / Replacement Days
Boxes per Year = Lenses per Year / Lenses per Box (per eye, so multiply by 2)
Annual Cost = Boxes per Year × Box Price
Replacement schedules:
- Daily disposable: 1 day (~$1–3/day per pair)
- Bi-weekly: 14 days (~$25–50/box of 6)
- Monthly: 30 days (~$20–40/box of 6)
Don’t forget to add:
- Contact lens solution: $8–15/month (not needed for dailies)
- Annual eye exam: $100–250 (may be covered by insurance)
- Replacement glasses (backup): $100–300
Average annual costs:
- Daily disposables: $500–$900
- Bi-weekly lenses: $200–$400 + solution
- Monthly lenses: $150–$300 + solution
