Understanding Your CooperVision Contact Lens Costs

CooperVision is a leading manufacturer of contact lenses, offering a wide range of options from daily disposables to monthly lenses, and specialized lenses for astigmatism and presbyopia. While the convenience and vision correction they provide are invaluable, understanding the associated costs is crucial for budgeting.

Factors Influencing Contact Lens Costs:

• Lens Type and Replacement Schedule: This is the most significant factor.
  • Daily Disposables (e.g., MyDay, Clariti 1 day): These are replaced every day, offering maximum hygiene and convenience. However, the cost per lens adds up, making them generally the most expensive option annually.
  • Bi-Weekly (e.g., Avaira Vitality): Replaced every two weeks, these offer a balance between daily disposables and monthly lenses in terms of cost and convenience.
  • Monthly (e.g., Biofinity, Proclear): Replaced once a month, these are often the most cost-effective option annually, but require proper cleaning and storage.
• Prescription Complexity: Lenses for astigmatism (toric lenses) or presbyopia (multifocal lenses) often cost more per box than spherical lenses for nearsightedness or farsightedness.
• Box Size: Lenses are sold in boxes containing a certain number of lenses (e.g., 30 or 90 for dailies, 6 for bi-weekly/monthly). Larger boxes (like 90-packs for dailies) often offer a slightly better per-lens price.
• Retailer: Prices can vary significantly between online retailers, optometrist offices, and big-box stores. Shopping around can lead to savings.
• Rebates and Promotions: CooperVision frequently offers manufacturer rebates, especially when purchasing a year's supply. Always check for these opportunities.

How to Use the Calculator:

1. Select your Lens Replacement Schedule: Choose whether you use daily, bi-weekly, or monthly lenses.
2. Enter Lenses Per Box: This is the number of lenses in one box you typically purchase (e.g., 30 for daily disposables, 6 for monthly lenses).
3. Input Cost Per Box (USD): Enter the price you pay for one box of lenses. If you buy different boxes for each eye, use the average cost or calculate for one eye first and then double it.
4. Choose Number of Eyes: Indicate if you need lenses for one eye or both eyes.
5. Click 'Calculate Cost': The calculator will provide an estimated annual and monthly cost for your CooperVision contact lenses.

Tips for Saving Money on Contact Lenses:

• Buy in Bulk: Purchasing a year's supply often qualifies you for manufacturer rebates and can reduce the per-box cost.
• Compare Retailers: Check prices from various online stores and local providers.
• Utilize Rebates: Always look for and apply for manufacturer rebates offered by CooperVision.
• Consider Your Lens Type: While daily disposables offer superior hygiene, bi-weekly or monthly lenses can be more economical if you're diligent with cleaning and care.
• Use FSA/HSA Funds: Contact lenses are eligible expenses for Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA), allowing you to pay with pre-tax dollars.
