How Much are a contacts eye exam and how much do prescribed color contacts come from?

Also what is a reliable brand to buy from.How Much are a contacts eye exam and how much do prescribed color contacts come from?
A contact lens fitting is usually an additional expense over and above the cost of a standard (comprehensive) eye exam. The cost will often vary depending on how difficult the fitting is and how many follow-up appointments the Dr. anticipates you will need. Your best bet is to call local eye doctors and compare pricing. The contact lens pricing will vary, as well, from one place to another and depending on which brand you end up in.


I've worked places that the fitting fee runs anywhere from $30 - $100 over the eye exam. The fee included the class to learn how to insert/remove and care for the lenses, the extra chair time the exam takes, a trial pair of contacts, a starter kit (cleaning solution and case) and anywhere from 1 - 4 follow-up appointments.


Be sure to ask if there are any rebates for the contact lenses also. Many vendors are offering mail-in rebates for ordering a year's supply of contacts.How Much are a contacts eye exam and how much do prescribed color contacts come from?
In most cases, a contact lens exam is the cost of a general eye exam (usually about $40 to $70 here in Ohio), plus the additional cost of a contact lens fitting (usually about $30 to $50). This means that a contact lens exam is generally anywhere from $70 to $120, depending on where you go.





As far as brands, I have never used colored contacts myself, but Acuvue is the best. Period. I have used Acuvues for 6 of the 9 years I have worn contact lenses, and they are the most comfortable, and the least problematic. All of my friends who wear colored contacts tend to get Acuvues. Some don't, and the ones who have the Acuvues have an easier time with them.





Acuvue colored contacts are expensive though - about $30 per box - and a year's supply is about 8 boxes with Acuvue 2-week lenses. So you're probably looking at about $240 plus the cost of the exam if you are planning to use them on a daily basis.
EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT PRICES...
