The global contact lens market is expected to reach USD 11 Bn at a CAGR of 5.70% by the end of the forecast period of 2018-2023, projects Market Research Future (MRFR) in a detailed study. The global contact lenses market was valued at USD 7.9 Bn in 2017.
The upsurge in the incidence rate of visual problems and eye disorders are one of the prime reasons stimulating the growth of the global contact lenses market. Visual inaccuracies such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia have become very common, and in all such eyesight issues, spectacles are generally recommended for overcoming them. However, reusable contact lenses have become the choice of most consumers with eyesight problems due to self-consciousness about appearance. This has raised the adoption of contact lenses.
Contact lenses are flexible, move with the eyeball, and allow a natural field of view and reduced distortions. They are ideal for athletes and persons involved in sports activities. Various advancements made in bausch and lomb coloured contact lenses have resulted in the development of improved versions of contact lenses such as multi-focal lenses, toric lenses, and others. Improvements in term of design and functionality have made them more viable which has increased the adoption of contact lenses.
