Overview:
The contact lenses market is highly lucrative due to growing popularity of contact lenses and increasing number of eye disorders. Technological advancements in contact lenses and increasing acceptance of silicone hydrogel contact lenses are providing an opportunity for the market growth. However, complications associated with contact lenses and the availability of alternatives for contact lenses are hampering the market growth.
Contact lenses may appear to be a recent trend in the vision care market, but they are dated back to 1880 when the first contact lens was invented. The contact lens users count is significantly increasing due to the availability of technologically improved products and better comfort, which can be used for a long time with less requirement of management. Currently, close vision problems are just over presbyopia. The research done by CooperVision suggested that regular users of these digital devices complain about eye tiredness (75%) and dryness. Over 90% of grownups use digital devices for more than 2 hours every day, and almost 60% use them for over 5 hours a day.
