A member asked:
I wear glasses but hate them so i want contacts. i know you can get monthly ones but how much do permanent ones cost?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cost about equal: The decision should not be based on cost, but rather on what is healthier for your eye. Not everyone can wear contact lenses, and fewer people can wear extended wear contact lenses. A fitting and followup process is crucial in order to ensure your eye is not damaged.
