Hubble Upgraded Its Daily Contacts, and They Have Me Rethinking My Go-To Brand

Contact lenses changed my life about 15 years ago. I wore glasses for years, but they always gave me headaches, even after finding a proper fit at the eye doctor multiple times. When I finally switched to contact lenses, I felt free. My headaches stopped, and the world just felt bigger and brighter. At first, I wore monthly contacts, but I noticed that by around week three (and definitely by week four) the quality had declined quite a bit, compared with week one. My eyes became drier more quickly, and I’d often take them out midday just to stop myself from looking like Popeye. That’s when I switched to daily contact lenses.

Now that I’ve been wearing daily contacts for about 10 years, I know how expensive they can be, and the price can really add up if your insurance doesn’t cover the total cost. My current contacts aren’t too expensive, but I’m always looking to save, especially on an item that’s a lifelong requirement for my health. Vision company Hubble is making eye care affordable (yes, truly affordable) for people like me and you — so much so that their upgraded Classic 2.0 Daily Contact Lenses have me rethinking my loyalty to the brand I’ve used for a decade.

The Classic 2.0 lenses are available through Hubble’s affordable subscription program. I started the sign-up process myself, so you don’t have to guess how it works.

After heading to the website and finding the Hubble Classic 2.0 Daily Contact Lenses, I entered my prescription for each eye. You only need to know the negative or positive number on your prescription (these tell you if you’re nearsighted or farsighted). Then, I clicked “Continue to Checkout” and was prompted to submit my email address. At the final checkout stage, I was required to provide my first and last name, company name (optional), my address, and a phone number.

Hubble also requires that you find your eye doctor by selecting your doctor’s state and the available doctors on the list. There’s also an option if you’re unable to find your provider. Just note that Hubble will reach out to your eye care provider to verify your prescription and ensure that you’re eligible to wear the contact lenses. Don’t worry, this is normal, as it ensures that your prescription is up to date and safe to wear.

Lastly, it’s payment time. For many of us contact lens wearers, price is sometimes the deciding factor in terms of what brand we ultimately purchase. And instead of dreading the total cost of my order like usual, my mouth dropped when I saw the initial total: $2. I’m serious! You get a 10-day starter pack for just $1 per eye, and then recurring orders for 30 pairs are $29.99 per eye — which is less expensive than other top brands, resulting in long-term savings. Plus, there’s free shipping. By the way, you can quickly and easily cancel your subscription at any time through the customer portal or by contacting the company via phone.

One important note on pricing: Hubble doesn’t directly deal with insurance providers, but, depending on your benefits, you can use the receipt Hubble emails you after checkout to get reimbursed by your provider.

Will I be trying Hubble’s upgraded daily contact lenses? I plan to. My prescription expires soon, so once I get that updated, I’d like to try out the company, largely because of Classic 2.0’s hydration features.

Affordable daily contact lenses that hydrate my eyes? I don’t need convincing. I’m already on the checkout page.
