How does innovation in design influence the growth of global contact lens market?
The contact lenses come in various designs including, computer lenses, cosmetic contact lenses, and corrective contact lenses. Each design serves a different purpose and is preferred accordingly by consumers.
The lenses can be customized according to their application. For instance, contact lenses are coated with different scratch resistance materials, anti-refractive materials, and UV protection materials in order to boost the therapeutic benefits of lenses. Similarly, for cosmetic or aesthetic purposes, contact lenses are coated with different chromatic materials. These customizations are likely to propel the growth of the global contact lens market.
Scientists across the globe are working on another category of contact lenses, which can diagnose and monitor various bodily parameters such as blood glucose levels and brain waves. Recently, researchers from the University of Washington have developed the prototype of Wi-Fi enabled smart contact lenses that monitors glucose levels in the wearer’s tears. This shows the scope of development in the design of contact lenses and their contribution to the growth of global contact lens market.
How are changing lifestyles affecting the growth of the global contact lens market?
With changing lifestyles, the prevalence of uncorrected refractive errors such as myopia and presbyopia have increased. According to a report by the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly 285 million people are visually impaired worldwide and approximately 43% of the overall visual impairment cases account for uncorrected refractive errors. This has impelled the demand for vision correction methods such as contact lenses. As a result, the growth of contact lens market triggered. Moreover, increased consumer spending has opened new avenues for the global contact lens market.
However, the prolonged use of contact lenses increases the chances of various eye-related problems such as redness of eyes, cornea scratches, and even blindness in some cases. These effects are expected to dissuade consumers from using contact lenses and thus impede the growth of the contact lens market.
