Answers:
Well, I don't have any "sources" but I can tell you that my wife got contact lenses in the mid-1970s and they were rigid, hard plastic, and they cost around $300, but you have to realize that $300 in 1975 was equal to around $1000 today (see link, below).
Good luck!... :-D

Here is a link to the history of contact lenses. There is an article about the cost in 1978. Very interesting question.
