How can my vision plan afford to do this?

I pay $1.17 a week, so $60 a year for vision insurance. I wear AcuVue Advance Plus soft contacts. They pay for a years' supply every year with no deductible - about $320. UnitedHealthcare is the carrier. I know that insurance plans as a rule make money because many don't use them. How is this possible since so many wear contacts? I have noticed they won't pay as much for glasses, yet are fine with shelling out for a year of contacts.

Glasses: Lens Thickness and high-index lenses?

I'm getting a new pair of glasses, and I have a question about prescription strength and lens thickness. This is my prescription:

Right eye: -3.25
Left eye: -2.25 Cyl. -1.25

My frame size is 54-18-145, and I think my pupillary distance (PD) is about 57 mm. Is my prescription considered a strong prescription? I'm just going to get the basic CR-39 plastic lenses right now, but should I be worried about my glasses being too thick? Should I get a different lens type like a high-index lens? Thanks for any advice.

If you wear contacts not for astigmatism, what does it feel like? - 1

My doctor prescribed Acuvue Oasys for astigmatism. He gave me a trial pair and they said it "wasn't exactly" the right prescription, but it'll work.

The feeling of the contact is very prominent, and sometimes when my eyes focus or shake, the contact moves and my vision gets blurry until I blink a few times.
Is that what it is? I don't have the astigmatism contacts?

Contact Solution, Help?

Last night I didn't have anymore contact solution so I used an expired contact solution to last me just for the night to prevent them from drying out because of course i didn't want to sleep in them. This morning I got new, fresh solution if I leave them in the new solution for a couple of days will they still be safe to put back in?

Will the image be inverted? Will it be real or virtual?

A converging lens with a focal length of 0.1m is to be used as a magnifying glass. This is done placing the object to be magnified within the focal length of the lens on the opposite side from your eye. Use a ray diagram and the lens equation to determine the magnification if the object is placed at a distance of 0.03m from the lens.

Contact lenses blurry?

Right, so basically I got my contacts yesterday and apperantly I ve been wearing glasses for 10 years(I m 14) and I decided to try if I can wear contacts. I went to the doctor, got ones with the proper prescription and they seem to be very very blurry. I ve wore them for 4 hours yesterday and for 6 today but there seems to be still a little bit of blurry while I m with them. I do use eye drops to clean them, so that shouldn t be the problem.

I was wondering, if there is a chance I can t wear contacts for my whole life? Or any solutions to get rid of the blurry effect.

Best time to get Lasik Eye Surgery?

I have been wearing contact lenses since 18. My eyes hasn't dramatically had changes in prescription for 3 years. I'm in my mid 20's & was planning to get Lasik soon. I have been advised from someone close that it's not good to get it too early because it will lead to more adjustments. My eye doctor say's if my prescription doesn't change for another 2 years, I am qualified to get Lasik. Should I wait? I don't want to get Lasik now then all of a sudden I have to get another one to fix the previous procedure like other people I know had.
