attending physician statement. A form of evidence of a personâs insurability, where an insurerâs underwriting organisation relies on physician's office notes, labs, X-rays and operative notes to determine an applicant's state of health in lieu of requiring a medical exam.
Patients can wear contacts that are designed to be changed and replaced every day. These are the so-called âdaily wearâ contacts and they are the most popular option. Another type of contacts is the âextended wearâ contact lens that can be worn continuously for a week. This means that patients can wear them even overnight with no problems what so ever and they only have to replace them once a week.
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.
