Industry Trends and Drivers:

  • Awareness and education:

Education campaigns and public awareness initiatives are helping individuals understand the importance of regular eye examinations as part of their overall healthcare routine. Awareness programs emphasize the benefits of early detection and prevention of eye diseases and conditions, leading more people to schedule eye exams to identify issues at an earlier stage. In addition, educational efforts often target parents and caregivers, stressing the importance of early eye exams for children to detect and address vision problems that could affect their learning and development.

  • Aging population:

Elderly people are more susceptible to age-related eye conditions, such as cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and presbyopia. These conditions often require vision correction or surgical intervention, driving the demand for vision care products and services. They are more likely to undergo regular eye examinations to monitor and manage their eye health. This leads to an increasing need for optometric services, prescription eyewear, and contact lenses. Aging individuals may also experience deteriorating eyesight, necessitating the use of eyeglasses or contact lenses for vision correction.

  • Technological advancements:

High-tech diagnostic tools and equipment, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and corneal topography devices, enable eye care professionals to diagnose eye conditions with greater precision. This enhances the quality of care and allows for early detection of issues. Technologies like laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) are revolutionizing vision correction by reshaping the cornea to correct refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. These procedures offer patients a chance to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses.
