About ClearCost Contacts
A contact lens price site that ranks retailers by what you pay at checkout.
Why it exists
Most price comparisons list the advertised price of a box. Some retailers then add processing, handling or verification fees on the last screen before you pay, so the cheapest listing is not always the cheapest order.
We build the same cart at each retailer, go as far as the order summary, and record every line. Retailers are ranked by that checkout total, and each fee is shown by the name the retailer gives it.
What you can do here
- See the checkout price of a lens at each retailer we track, with the fees itemized.
- Save your lenses and mark which retailers you have already ordered from, so first-order discounts you can still use are counted in your price.
- Set a reorder reminder and get an email when it is time to buy again.
Prices and these account features are free.
How we make money
Some links to retailers are affiliate links: if you buy after clicking one, the retailer may pay us a commission. It does not change the price you pay.
Commissions never affect rankings. The code that orders retailers cannot read which of them pay us, and an automated test fails our build if that changes. The details are in our methodology.
What we are not
We do not sell contact lenses, fill prescriptions or give medical advice. You order from the retailer, under the retailer’s terms, with a valid prescription from your eye care provider.
