Soft contact lens are used to correct the vision of the eye. These lenses are made of soft water absorbing flexible and translucent polymers (hydrogels) and a high amount of plasticizer. These are more flexible than the hard contact lens and can be easily molded into the desired shapes. Soft contact lens fit easily to the eyeball compared to a rigid gas-permeable lens and provides comfort. Most contact lens patients are currently offered hyperoxygen-permeable silicone-hydrogel soft lenses. They are not only used to correct ophthalmic disorders such as near sightedness or far sightedness, but also increase aesthetic appeal.
Rise in prevalence of eye disorders such as cataract, glaucoma, and myopia drive the market growth. In addition, rise in usage of electronic gadgets such as television and computer, make way for different eye disorders. Also, increase in awareness through social media marketing and the comfort and convenience provided by soft contact lens are the prime concerns for a person switching from eyeglasses to contact lenses. However, presence of other ophthalmology devices and corrective procedures such as photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser and rising side effects of contact lenses such as eye infections and corneal ulcer restraints the market growth. In aging population, improving economy and increasing disposable incomes across the world majorly drives the market growth and these factors are also expected to provide numerous growth opportunities.
