Optical Lens Costs

Riddle me this: do you need spectacles, or contact lenses? But have you ever wondered what goes into making them and why there is a difference in their pricing? These prescription lenses are usually made of optical glass which can be easily bent as it passes light through unto the eyes. The production process includes grinding, polish, and bending into the product shape. The type of glass, the shape, and workmanship all have an effect on cost as well.

Prices of Optical Lenses

Now that you have some background on how optical lenses are made, we can discuss the various prices and types. Lenses - many things to consider before shopping. So, to start with, let us discuss several types of lenses:

  1. Single vision
  2. Bifocal
  3. Progressive

Single-vision lenses are the most common type, with a uniform prescription across each lens. Bifocals have two different prescriptions (one for distance and one for close-up) and a line running across the bottom of the lens where these bifocals start. The lenses are no-line bifocals or called progressive correctives, which give continuity from distance vision to near vision without the lines.

Types of Lens

So with that in mind, let us get into the types and the actual deciding factors for these lenses' prices. The Quality of Optical Lenses is one important factor impacting the costs. Lenses created from less costly optical glass may well contain imperfections that might impact vision and result in eyestrain. Meanwhile, high-quality lenses are more accurate and sturdy and can provide you with sharper vision as well as comfort. Price is also determined by how each item is made. While mass-produced lenses are accessible and affordable, custom-made profiles-which require more laborious design-are higher value.
