The cost of Colorite correction glasses will be comparable to the cost of a typical pair of vision correction glasses. The cost will depend on a patient's specific vision deficiency (if they need a prescription for vision in addition to the color correction lenses) and depending on the frame the patient chooses.

You will see exactly how effective they will be for you. 95% of our patients pass the Ishihara Colorblind Test.
