Contact and Intraocular Lenses Market Trends



  • Increasing prevalence of various ocular disorders to Boost Market Growth


The prevalence of various ocular disorders, such as myopia and hypermetropia, is growing at an alarming rate worldwide. These ocular disorders are associated with a significant rise in the risks for vision impairment due to conditions such as high myopia and other diseases. According to an article published in ‘Investigative ophthalmology & visual science’, myopia affected ~30% of the world’s population in 2020; this number is expected to rise to 50% by 2050.


According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the cases of myopia are highest in East Asia, where China, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore have a prevalence of approximately 50%. Moreover, by 2050, the prevalence of myopia is projected to be much higher in high per capita income regions of the Asia-Pacific, i.e., in the East and South-East Asia, and in high-income North America, southern Latin America, all of Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and about 30% of Africa will be similar to that in Asia today. Furthermore, according to WHO, the global financial burden with the annual global costs of productivity losses associated with vision impairment from uncorrected myopia and presbyopia is estimated to be USD 244 billion and USD 25.4 billion, respectively.


Contact lenses and intraocular lenses are now commonly used to correct myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. There are other eye conditions as well, such as keratoconus and aniseikonia, which are better corrected with contact lenses. Intraocular lenses are commonly used during cataract surgery to replace the natural lens of the eye. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of eye disorders is expected to drive the growth of the CONTACT AND INTRAOCULAR LENSES Market during the forecast period.

Contact and Intraocular Lenses Material Insights


The CONTACT AND INTRAOCULAR LENSES Market segmentation, based on material includes contact lenses material, and intraocular lenses material. The contact lenses material segment held the largest market share in 2021 and is expected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period for CONTACT AND INTRAOCULAR LENSES Market revenue. It is also bi-furcated into silicone hydrogel soft contact lens, methacrylate hydrogel soft contact lens, gas-permeable contact lens, and others. This is due to the silicone hydrogel soft contact lens is made using silicone hydrogel, a material that combines the water-absorbing plastic of soft lenses with silicone. Silicone hydrogel soft contact lenses have high oxygen permeability and offer good durability. Methacrylate or poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) hydrogel soft contact lenses are inexpensive and provide good biocompatibility; they have become very popular currently. They contain a relatively high amount of water that facilitates the diffusion of solutes and oxygen. Gas permeable contact lenses are rigid and made of plastic. Unlike the soft contact lenses, the rigid gas permeable lens transmits oxygen without absorbing water. These lenses have microscopic holes in them that allow the oxygen to filter through. Other materials include hybrid contact lenses, which are rare and combine the materials of rigid as well as soft lenses.
