This article helps you compare prices and choose the right prescription lens that suits your needs and budget.
Why is there no single number that applies to everyone?
The price of lenses depends on brand + line + refractive index + coating + complexity (single vision / multifocal / photochromic) and promotions at the time of purchase. Two people with the same SPH -3.00 may pay differently if one chooses 1.56 basic AR and the other chooses 1.67 Crizal + multifocal. Therefore, the table below is a reference frame; the exact number after measurement and finalizing the model at the store — eye measurement Q10, how long to get it cut.
Commonly forgotten fees when comparing prices
- AR coating / scratch-resistant / blue light filter — separate or bundled.
- Edge cutting, thinning edges, special processing.
- Frames — not part of the lenses but affects the total bill.
- Re-measurement / frame adjustment — many places offer free adjustments within a certain period.
Tips for fair price comparison
Ask the shop to record in the same format: full lens name, refractive index, coating, warranty — compare Essilor Zeiss Rodenstock.
Return policy when purchasing lenses
See return policy — custom lenses usually are not refundable like sealed frames.

Lens FAQ
It depends on use: basic lenses from 150K–350K suit a tight budget; blue-light lenses 350K–1.5M for office work; photochromic 500K–3M if you are often outside. Choose by daily habits, not price alone.
Conclusion: comparing prices the right way
Prices only make sense when comparing the same configuration — full lens name, refractive index, coating set, warranty period, and whether or not special processing is included. If you switch from single vision to multifocal or add photochromic / polarized, ask for a line item quote so you won't be bundled together making it hard to compare. Once you have a new refraction prescription, bring it along or take a picture of the measurement slip to help the shop estimate lens thickness and advise on a reasonable refractive index. Read more about the lens cutting process at the store, instant lens cutting, and contact for eye measurement before finalizing your budget.
