How much do monthly contact lenses cost with insurance?

Question

I just got contact lenses today, and I love them. I was just wondering how much I will have to pay.

I have vsp insurance

They are soft, monthly clear lenses

I get them at Pearle Vision

I don't know what brand they are, sorry

If anyone could tell me this it would be helpful, thanks!

Answer 1

VSP typically gives you an allowance to use toward the cost of the contact lens fitting and the boxes of contacts.  The allowance is typically between $100 and $150.  To find out what your cost will be, go to www.vsp.com and find out what your allowance is.  Take the allowance and subtract your fitting cost (if you used a vsp provider for your contact fitting).  Then take the cost of the boxes from what's remaining.  The difference will be your cost.  The cost of the boxes depend on the brand and where you get the from.  A chain or independent retailer can set their own prices.  And if you get your contacts from contacts.com, they won't accept your insurance so you'll have to pay full price.
