Fortune Business Insights™ presents this information in its report titled, “Contact Lenses Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Modality (Reusable and Disposable), By Design (Toric, Multifocal, and Spherical), By Material (Soft, Gas Permeable {Orthokeratology and Scleral}, and Others), By Distribution Channel (Ophthalmologists, Retail Stores, and Online Stores), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032”.

Contact lenses refer to the curved lenses that are placed on the tears’ film covering the eye surface. These lenses require a prescription as regulated by the U.S. FDA. These medical devices are usually hard and soft depending on the reusability, nature, and comfort. The surging geriatric population and the rising refractive disorders cases, including astigmatism, myopia, presbyopia, and hyperopia, are projected to propel market growth. Rising awareness related to eye health with supportive government initiatives among the population also supports market expansion.

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the market as the increased shutdown of businesses and suspension of non-urgent care, including office visits constraints and contact lens fittings halted, hampering market growth.

The Cooper Companies Inc. Introduced Multidisciplinary Program to Address Myopic Disorders in Children

The Cooper Companies Inc. introduced a multidisciplinary program in December 2023 to address children suffering from the myopic disorder. The company primarily aims to collaborate with leading optometry schools to deliver extended myopia treatment for a pilot group, initiated in 2024.

Surging Prevalence of Refractive Errors to Boost Market Growth

The increasing incidences of presbyopia and myopia, particularly among adults and children, have raised the number of people having vision impairment globally. Moreover, the increasing prevalence of refractive errors, a common problem affecting all age groups, drives the contact lenses market growth. The surge in the percentage of people having vision impairment globally due to the surging cases of presbyopia and myopia further fuels the product demand.

For instance, as per the CooperVision data, in 2023, there were approximately 45.0 million users of lenses in the U.S. alone.

However, the increasing launch of numerous alternative treatments, including corneal inlays, laser eye surgery, and implantable contact lenses, discourages the adoption of contact lenses.

Surging Focus of Key Players on Collaborations to Propel Market Expansion

The contact lenses market consists of major market players, such as Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc., Alcon, and others. The Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc. held a substantial market share in 2023 due to the surging collaboration and partnerships with many companies to advance its product portfolio offerings, further aiding market expansion.
