Answer 1

Apparently prescripton lenses last abt 1 - 2 years. Cost could vary from optometrist, contact lens brand and strength of eyesight. Typical lenses cost abt 100 - 175 dollars, where as a stronger requirement could go 200 dollars ++.. but if u go for cosmetic lenses or temporary lenses, which you have termed 'fake lenses', would most likely cost you less than 100-125 dollars depending on your country,colour of lens and Duration of contact lens. They would last 3 - 6 months. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I got the kind you wear for a short time but I wore them longer and they last one year if you be careful.. I got 6  pair for like under 100 bucks...so it works I kept them until they tare then went to the next pair.

Answer 3

It all depends what kind you get.  There are some you change everyday - throw them away and start with new ones the next day.  There are some you can put in and leave for weeks at a time.  It all depends on your vision and what type you want.  I have astigmatism (curved eyeball) and I just ordered a years supply from 1800contacts.com.  They cost me about $200 after a mail in rebate.  I believe one set will last me about 2 weeks.  And if you take good care of them and clean them pretty regularly, most people can make their contacts last much longer than they're supposed to.

Answer 4

Well, I've worn the same pair of contacts for the past three years. They are the gas permeable kind (hard), not the soft kind. I honestly think you can wear them for a loooong time if you take good care of them and as long as your vision doesn't change. I can't recall what I paid, but I know it was over a 125 bucks.

What on earth are "fake contacts"? Just the kind that change your eye color?
