This range is so broad because it encompasses different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/types-of-contact-lenses\">types of contact lenses<\/a> for different kinds of vision correction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whereas buying <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/eyeglasses\">glasses<\/a> gets you one piece of eyewear for the long term, committing to contact lenses involves spending money regularly over time.

Well, the cost of contact lenses can vary depending on your prescription and visual needs.

We can take the lower estimate of the cost of a box of biweekly lenses ($30), double it for two eyes ($60), and divide it by three to get the approximate cost of wearing biweekly contacts each month: $20.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doing the same for the higher part of the range gets us about $33, which we\u2019ll round up to $35.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Estimated cost of biweekly disposable contacts per month: <\/strong>$20 to $35<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A year can be divided into 26 two-week stretches, so you\u2019d need 52 biweekly contact lenses each year if you wore them in both eyes every week. That\u2019s about nine boxes of six contacts per year, so we\u2019ll multiply both numbers in the cost-per-box range by nine.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Estimated cost of biweekly disposable contacts per year: <\/strong>$270 to $450<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, we can divide the numbers in the cost-per-box range by three (to get the cost of two biweekly lenses) and then by 14 to get the cost per day.
