Question:

Can I purchase contact lenses without insurance?

I'm 17 and our Medicaid insurance ran out. My temporary-use contacts are months old already (should only be used for 2 weeks) and I was wondering if I could skip all the trouble of insurance and buy contact lenses straight with money? If so, what will I need to pay for, and how much will it cost ( range)?

  2. It depends on your prescription and what your doctor recommends.

    Typically, disposable contacts for single-vision will run about $20-$30 a box, six to a box. However, remember you need to purchase TWO boxes--one for each eye. So minimum outlay you are looking at is around $50.

    If you have a prescription that is more than just single-vision (say to correct astigmatism or bifocal lenses), expect to pay considerably more. I wear bifocal lenses and correct for astigmatism so I outlay nearly $50 a box or $100 for a 4-6 month supply.

    A pair of lenses will last from 2-4 weeks. Again, that is dependent on what your eye doctor recommends. Mine usually only last about 3 weeks. It also depends on how long you wear them each day. If you wear them 14 hours a day, expect them to last considerably less than 4 weeks.

  3. dependin on your prescription you could be looking at $20-$60 per box.
