Which Business Drivers Are Underpinning The Growth Of The Prescription Lens Market?

The rising prevalence of vision impairment is anticipated to drive the expansion of the prescription lens market going forward. Vision impairment refers to conditions impacting the eyes, spanning from common issues like partial vision loss and blindness to more serious ailments such as macular degeneration. The increase in vision impairment is attributed to factors such as elevated screen time, widespread digital device usage, and aging populations, which contribute to conditions including digital eye strain, myopia, and age-related macular degeneration. Prescription lenses are instrumental in correcting vision impairments like myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia by refracting light to correctly focus on the retina, thereby enhancing vision clarity and reducing strain. For example, in May 2023, a report from the National Center for Biotechnology Information, a US-based international resource for scientific research, revealed that approximately 200 million individuals worldwide experienced age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in 2020, with projections estimating an increase to about 288 million people affected by 2040. Therefore, the growing incidence of vision impairment is a significant driver for the prescription lens market.

Leading companies in the prescription lens market are developing myopia management spectacle lenses to satisfy the increasing requirement for effective myopia control in children.

For example, in November 2023, Shamir Optical Industry, an Israel-based maker of optical lenses for eyeglasses, launched Shamir Optimee. This new myopia management spectacle lens aims to address the growing need for effective myopia management, particularly in children. The innovative lens integrates Shamir Focusflow’s next-generation defocus technology, offering a clear central vertical zone with the child’s prescription, which permits flexible eye movement during near-vision activities.
