Toric lenses ( for astigmatism) run about 20.00 more for the box than regular lenses...but that can vary with the brand.
So if the box for one eye is 40 .00...the other may be around 60 - 65.00
It all depends on what your Dr. will fit you with and determine what will be the best one for you.
Honestly, it depends where you go to puchase your contacts, brand name of contact, how often you are changing them, rebates offered, and ect. Lenses for people with astigmatism are called toric lenses. They are most of the time double the price of a regular sphere lens. You can check out www.walmart.com and click on contact lenses or visiondirect.com for pricing. Some lenses are priced upon the perscription and how much astigmatism you have so this would be a rought estimate. A good idea would be to use these websites as your basis for research but listen to your doctor so he can pick the right brand for you. The cheapest isnt always the best!
