How much do "Extended wear contacts" cost?

Question

I'm thinking of getting some extended wear contacts that can be worn for up to 30 days without being removed. How much should I expect to pay for these. I've never used contacts before so please include if the price is for a single pair or multiple. Also what is a good place to order contacts from? Thanx

Answer 1

sometimes a doctor won't approve you for wearing them for that long, but extended wear contacts are typically 40-80 dollars for a box of 6 lenses.

keep in mind you are blocking the oxygen supply to your eye, even with the more breathable material.  WEAR THEM SAFELY!  I have seen people that have trouble wearing contacts after using them.

not to sound gross but would you leave an article of clothing on a warm, moist part of your body for 30 days?

all i am saying is, make sure you use them as the Dr. recommends =)

Answer 2

Even those 30 day lenses have to be removed once a week for cleaning.

They are a ridiculous idea that almost always leads to problems.

Don't let laziness get in the way of your long term eye health.

It takes 2 minutes to remove them and clean them every night.
