How we compared

Each price is the lowest we found for that lens across the stores we track in the United States, checked 10 hours ago. We compare per month for one eye, so a 30 pack and a 90 pack line up.

The estimated checkout price is what the retailer advertises plus any non-optional charge its own published terms document. Shipping, sales tax and manufacturer rebates are not in it.

The specs come from each manufacturer’s published parameters, or from a retailer’s product listing where the manufacturer’s is not available. We do not sell lenses, so the retailer’s own page is the final word on price and stock.
