An Increase in the Prevalence of Refractive Error Drives the Growth of the Global Smart Contact Lens Market

Refractive errors include various types of eye diseases, which causes vision problem that make it hard to see the object clearly, and smart contact lenses help by providing larger image and clearer images. The increasing use of smart lenses to prevent macular degeneration is expected to drive smart contact lens market growth.

For instance,

  • According to the National Institute of Health study in 2015, 917 subjects participated. The prevalence of uncorrected refractive errors was 23.97% among males and 20% among females. The prevalence was seen to increase with age

Thus, with the increasing refractive error such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and others, there is an increase in the number of clinical trials for smart contact lenses, which is driving the global smart contact lens market growth.

Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the Global Smart Contact Lens Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.6% from 2023 to 2030 and is expected to reach USD 678,147.91 thousand by 2030. Increased prevalence of refractive error and the rising cases of diabetic retinopathy is expected to drive the growth of the global smart contact lens market.

Key Findings of the Study     

Smart Contact Lens Market

RISE IN THE PREVALENCE OF EYE DISORDEr

There are severe various eye-related disorders that need special treatment and care. Specialized smart contact lenses help the patient recover from eye disorders such as farsightedness, diabetes retinopathy, and others and provide better vision. The increase in smart contact lenses for various eye disorders is expected to drive the market's growth.

For instance,

  • According to a study by All Vison, they have described the use of different smart contact lenses for various eye disorders.
  • Eye health monitor: Scientists in South Korea have developed the prototype for a new smart lens that, in theory, will be able to monitor eye health or help deliver medicinal eye treatments. Still, it will be a while before this smart contact lens can be prescribed in the early stages of research.
  • Diabetes: Researchers at Purdue University are using sensor tech inside smart contact lenses to measure the basal tears that keep the eyes moist to help people with diabetes monitor their blood glucose.
  • Glaucoma: Sensimed AG has developed the Triggerfish wireless chip and miniaturized sensor that measures intraocular pressure, a modifiable risk factor for glaucoma. The Kaunas University of Technology in Lithuania has also developed dissolvable contact lenses that can deliver drugs to the eyes of glaucoma patients.
  • Farsightedness: Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have used the unique shape of the retina found in elephant nose fish to design a contact lens that autofocuses in milliseconds, instantly correcting farsightedness. It is estimated that more than one billion people worldwide have age-related farsightedness (presbyopia).
  • Telescopes: The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne has developed telescopic contact lenses that enable users to switch between normal and magnified vision, which could be extremely beneficial to people with macular degeneration.

Thus, an increase in eye disorders and the increasing use of smart contact lenses is expected to increase the forecast market growth.

Instead, the Azalea approach integrates an active light management system inside the contact lens. This is able to adjust the brightness of incoming light automatically and dynamically, specifically tailored to each patient's needs, while also performing the functions of a traditional contact lens
  • In December 2019, GlakoLens Biyomedikal Biyoteknoloji San. ve Tic. A.Ş. announced that they had signed the SME Instrument Agreement with European Commission. This project helps to increase the company's product range and sales
  • In September 2018, Sensimed announced the registration of the Sensimed Triggerfish sensor and monitoring system as a medical device in Japan. The contact lens sensor itself is very well tolerated over the measurement period and uses telemetry in combination with a fully integrated sensor to measure a volumetric change in the eye
