Orthokeratology lens market to grow at 6.39% CAGR through 2028

Thanks to an increased demand for non-surgical vision correction alternatives.

The global orthokeratology lens market is projected to rise by $248m until 2028 at an estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.39%, said Technavio.

The sector’s expansion is attributed to an increased demand for non-surgical vision correction solutions amidst a rising prevalence of myopia and refractive errors.

The lenses are being adopted by healthcare providers, including optometry clinics, as an alternative to surgical options, such as LASIK, photorefractive keratectomy, and refractive lens exchange.

“These lenses reshape the cornea while worn during sleep, correcting nearsightedness and astigmatism,” the report said.

Meanwhile, novel lens developments are being developed to address challenges such as dry eyes, itching, glares, and halos around lights.

Moreover, the growing elderly population and digital screening are boosting demand for eye care services and awareness programmes.
