A. Typically people start wearing contacts between the age of 11 and 13. Depending upon the person there is no limit to what age you can wear them to. We have people in their 80s who wear contacts. As we get older, our eyes tend to get drier, and it can be harder to wear contacts comfortably.
If you replace your contacts approximately every two weeks, this means you need about five boxes (30 lenses) per eye, or a total of 10 boxes per year. This comes to an annual contact lens cost of roughly $220 to $260 (lenses only). A number of factors can change this estimate, including: Astigmatism. Contact lenses that correct astigmatism cost more than soft contacts that only correct nearsightedness or farsightedness. Soft contact lenses for astigmatism, called toric contacts, frequently retail for $50 to $70 for a box of six lenses. So if you replace your toric contact lenses every two weeks, your annual lens cost is roughly $500 to $700.
