Should I look into wearing contacts?

Contacts would probably be a great option for you. I work for an optometrist and do alot of the insurance billing. Insurance companies will lead you to believe that they cover a years supply of contacts when in reality they only give you an allowance to spend toward your year supply. There is also the cost of the fitting fee that they take out of the allowance. At my office the average fitting is 65 to 100 dollars and the average year supply can be anywhere from 130 to 500 dollars depending on the brand the Dr. fits you with. The average ins. allowance is about 125 t0 150 dollars. Do the math ,there might be alot of out of pocket expense. Be sure you do all your homework on pricing and insurance benefits first. There are so many different kinds of policies yours might pay more.
