What Important Drivers Are Powering The Smart Contact Lenses Market Growth?

The rising incidence of glaucoma is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the smart contact lens market in the coming years. Glaucoma encompasses various ocular disorders marked by elevated intraocular pressure (pressure inside the eye), which can harm the optic nerve and potentially result in vision impairment or blindness if not addressed. Smart contact lenses offer a solution for glaucoma management through continuous monitoring of intraocular pressure, supplying ongoing data vital for enhanced disease oversight and prompt intervention. For example, in 2023, data from the BrightFocus Foundation, a US- based nonprofit organization, indicated that around 80 million individuals globally currently suffer from glaucoma, with projections showing an increase to 111 million by 2040. Consequently, the growing occurrence of glaucoma will stimulate growth in the smart contact lens market.

What Trends Are Influencing The Smart Contact Lenses Market Outlook?

Major companies within the smart bandage market are concentrating on research and development to create innovative products like wirelessly powered bandages, designed to aid patients with non-healing wounds and prevent infection. A wirelessly powered bandage is a type of smart bandage that leverages wireless technology to receive power and transmit data without requiring physical connections. Researchers from the U.K. and France designed these bandages to be flexible, conformable, and easy-to-wear, facilitating ongoing wound monitoring and therapy. For instance, in May 2023, researchers from the University of Glasgow, a UK-based public research university, and the University of Southampton, a UK-based public research university, introduced wirelessly powered smart bandages. These are fitted with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that bathe wounds in sterilizing UV light, thereby preventing bacterial development without the need for antibiotics. The UV LEDs are powered wirelessly using a small, flexible inductive coil embedded within the bandage cloth. This coil receives power wirelessly, sent from a second coil connected to the electrical mains, which allows the LEDs to be powered continuously. The wireless power delivery technology is twice as efficient as previous wearable wireless power receivers, making it ideal for medical applications.
