FYI, the organization by "monthly" price, which assumes like contacts for two eyes worn daily, was initially quite confusing for me. I wear a contact in only one eye and I don't wear it in that eye every day, so the monthly price is totally irrelevant to me - I purchase contacts on a per-unit basis. You do list that, but it's smaller and deprioritized.

Thanks for the feedback! I've actually been a bit on the fence about how to show the prices. I show the monthly price because I thought it would be the easiest way to compare across package sizes, and for people to compare against their current subscription price.

I actually had a very first version where I showed the price "per lens". Would that have made it less confusing for you at first glance?

I think price per lens would have been fine, yes. That's ultimately what I care about. But I also think that cost-per-quantity-lens-pack, which you list but deprioritized, is more understandable. Sorting by cost per lens but presenting the cost per pack (30, 90, etc.) is likely the sweet spot.
Got it, thanks again for the feedback!
