Obedience to reason is the foundation of liberty. Reason banishes slavery of self to materialism, to political correctness, to folly, and to range-of-the-moment consciousness known best by the hedonist.
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.
However, Medicare and private insurance typically would not consider a toric IOL for astigmatism medically necessary. So if you opt for this kind of lens and otherwise have insurance, the average extra cost to you would be about $1,294 per eye. An average additional charge of $2,188 per eye for a premium, presbyopia-correcting IOL, if you already have Medicare coverage for basic cataract surgery costs.
