What Are the Major Market Drivers Behind the Rising Adoption of Prescription Lens Market?

The rise in vision impairment cases is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the prescription lens market. Vision impairment encompasses problems affecting the eyes, such as partial vision loss and blindness, as well as severe conditions like macular degeneration. The escalation in vision impairment is attributed to increased screen time, usage of digital devices, and ageing populations, leading to conditions like digital eye strain, myopia, and age-related macular degeneration. Prescription lenses help rectify vision issues like myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia by bending light to focus correctly on the retina, enhancing visual accuracy and reducing tension. For example, a report released by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, a US-based international resource for scientific research, noted that approximately 200 million people worldwide experienced age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in 2020. The report projected that by 2040, around 288 million people will suffer from this condition. Hence, the growing prevalence of vision impairment is fuelling the expansion of the prescription lens market.
