The global contact lens inspection market size is expected to reach USD 1.76 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.1% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Various factors, including the prevalence of glaucoma, fuel the growing demand in the contact lens inspection market. For instance, according to National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), glaucoma ranks the second leading cause of irreversible yet preventable blindness worldwide, constituting nearly 8% of global blindness cases.
The global burden of glaucoma surpassed 60.5 million individuals in 2010 and was projected to reach 80 million by 2020. Out of the approximately 39.36 million people affected by blindness globally, over 3 million have glaucoma-related blindness. India bears the highest regional burden of global blindness at 23.5%, with glaucoma being the third leading cause of blindness after cataracts and refractive errors. In India, glaucoma affects 11.9 million individuals, contributing to 8.9 million cases of blindness and representing 12.8% of all blindness cases in the country.
Glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, necessitates regular monitoring and management to prevent vision loss. Contact lens wearers, particularly those with glaucoma, require meticulous inspection of their lenses to ensure proper fit, comfort, and effectiveness in managing their condition. Consequently, the need for advanced inspection technologies and stringent quality control measures is heightened, driving the demand for contact lens inspection solutions. These solutions are crucial in maintaining ocular health and improving the overall quality of life for individuals with glaucoma and other vision-related conditions.
