Contact lenses are versatile vision correction devices used to address refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Their features include a thin, flexible design made from materials such as silicone hydrogel for comfort and breathability. Contacts offer a wide range of uses, from enhancing daily vision to sports and cosmetic purposes, providing a convenient alternative to eyeglasses. They are also employed in specialty lenses for conditions such as keratoconus or as therapeutic devices for eye conditions, demonstrating their adaptability in addressing diverse visual needs.
According to Data Bridge Market Research, the Latin America Contact Lenses Market accounted for USD 12.41 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 21.66 billion by 2029. The market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 7.21% in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029.
“Increased prevalence of refractive errors boosts the market’s growth”
The contact lenses market is experiencing growth due to the increased prevalence of refractive errors. As more people suffer from conditions such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, the demand for vision correction methods, including contact lenses, has surged. Contact lenses offer convenience, improved aesthetics, and better peripheral vision compared to traditional eyeglasses. Furthermore, advancements in contact lens materials and designs, including daily disposables and extended wear options, have made them more accessible and comfortable, contributing to the market's expansion as they cater to diverse vision correction needs.
