How Much Are Astigmatism Contacts?
May 1st, 2010 | See the Top Answers to this Question Below
I wear glasses for school, but now I think I need to wear them all the tI ame. When shopping, it’s hard to look at the prices and stuff. I don’t want to wear my glasses all the tI ame! I probably have astigmatism because I squint a lot.
How much will a year supply of contacts with astigmatism cost?
Oh, and my parents have insurance for me, will the check-up thinngy be free? I don’t get how insurance works.
Thanks.

Just make sure that you request the least expensive brand. They’ve been forcing really expensive brands on me for years, when cheaper ones like acuvue (or however you spell it) can be good for astigmatism. DO NOT let them make you think that a more expensive brand will help "correct" it, because they do not work, I’ve been using one that should for over 3 years now, and it still gets slightly worse every time they do an exam..
Yes, insurance should cover the exam if it says it covers the eye doctor visits, but it may or may not cover the actual lenses…
You mean toric contacts lenses. They are a little bit more expensive than normal contacts.
Mine are about $330 a year.
squinting doesn’t necessarily mean you have astigmatism.
i have a small degree of astigmatism, and wear acuvue2. i pay about $110/yr for those. however, i order mine online for pretty cheap. if you order from your eye dr, it will be more expensive. as to insurance coverage, each plan is different. mine covers one exam a year, but does not cover the contact fitting (???). so definitely call the ins co to find out about coverage.
