Follow on Google News | Vision Care Devices - Global Pipeline Analysis, Competitive LandscapeThe Global Vision Care Devices Market is Expected to Grow at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2010 – 2017
By: Rajesh Gunnam The vision care devices market is driven by the increasing number of patients suffering from eye disorders. The most common conditions are myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia. Myopia is one of the most common eye disorders and affects about 1.6 billion people, while presbyopia is found in about one billion people globally. The prevalence of hyperopia increases in the elderly. Around 50% of people aged above 65 years in the US have hyperopic conditions. Rising awareness about eye health in developing countries has led to an increase in the adoption of vision care devices. ‘VISION 2020: The Right To Sight’ is a joint program on a global level that is expected to boost awareness levels among general population, while increasing the demand for vision care devices.

The vision care devices market is highly fragmented and competitive. The top three players occupy just over 27% of the global market. Technological innovations occur at a rapid pace in the optical industry, forcing manufacturers to continue developing and introducing novel products in the market to stay ahead of the competition. Market dynamics are changing rapidly due to the advent of online sellers for lenses and direct to consumer marketing tactics adopted by manufacturers. Consumers have more choice for vision care devices compared to other medical devices, which has resulted in patients proactively participating while choosing lenses. In the US, the majority of contact lens sales are through independent eye care practitioners, followed by national optical chains and mass merchandisers. The launch of disposable soft contact lenses and the Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers Act (FCLCA) ruling allowing prescription portability have opened up the contact lens market in the US. This ruling provides increased ability to contact lens wearers to shop around when buying contact lenses, opening up the market and offering more choices to consumers. This will also lead to increased competition among contact lens sellers, benefiting the consumers due to lower prices and improved product quality.
