Executive Summary
Summary:
Contact lenses are a perfect solution for managing eye defects such as myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, and astigmatism without compromising comfort and cosmetic appearance. Lenses are made from specially designed biomaterials with a range of properties optimized for a dynamic ocular environment and are effective, safe and comfortable to wear. Significant advancements have taken place over the past several decades, from the earlier polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) lenses to gas permeable (GP) lenses and later to soft traditional hydrogel and silicone hydrogel (SiHy) lenses. The market can be divided broadly into soft lenses, rigid permeable lenses, and other lenses, including surgical, digital, and
ocular drug delivery lenses.
The increasing prevalence of eye disorders such as astigmatism and myopia is a crucial growth factor for the contact lens market. An aging population, increased affordability, and technological advancements and innovations are other growth factors for the contact lens market. Contact lenses may be used for cosmetic and therapeutic applications, and the growing attention to personal image and fashion among Asian consumers has increased demand in those regions. Cosmetic contact lens manufacturers target teenagers and the younger generation primarily.
Comfort is a crucial requirement for contact lenses for patients, and discomfort is the primary reason for discontinuing their use. Over the past few years, significant developments have occurred in the field of contact lens comfort, and growth in the market can be attributed to these new products that have increased comfort and performance. Innovations include silicone hydrogel materials, toric lenses for astigmatism management and multifocal lenses for near-blurred vision. The advantages offered by daily disposable lenses have also bolstered sales over the period.
The increasing acceptance of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser-assisted-in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgeries for vision correction threatens the growth of the contact lens market. The lower durability of soft contact lenses made with flexible polymer-plastic materials is also a challenge to the development of this market. (The frequency of replacing contact lenses is based on replacement schedules suggested by the individual manufacturer.)
A small number of players dominate the contact lens market: Bausch + Lomb (a Valeant Pharmaceuticals company), CooperVision Inc. (a subsidiary of Cooper Companies Inc.), Johnson & Johnson Vision Care Inc. (a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson), Alcon (a Novartis division), and Abbott Medical Optics Inc. (a subsidiary of Abbott Laboratories). Other contributors to this market include ABB Optical Group, Unilens Vision, Contamac, Excel Optics, Eagle Optics, Essilor International SA, Hoya Corp., Hydrogel Vision Corp., SynergEyes Inc., and others.
Soft contact lenses continue to dominate the marketplace, and silicone hydrogel (SiHy) lenses, in particular, are poised to continue their increasing popularity. The global market for GP lenses is primarily influenced by the increased demand for corneal refractive therapy (CRT) and orthokeratology (ortho-k) lenses. The introduction of scleral lenses also helped the GP contact lens market to grow.
