Scleral Lens Market Analysis Based on Driving and Restraining Factors

The increasing prescription of scleral lenses (SLs) with advanced LZ designs is anticipated to be a global scleral lens market trend. Further, eye care practitioners increasingly prescribe scleral lenses (SLs) with advanced landing zone (LZ) designs. The Scleral Lenses in Current Ophthalmic Practice Evaluation study team designed an online survey for eye specialists attending a specialty contact lens meeting. The survey was conducted from November 8, 2019, to March 31, 2020. Demographic data and information on lens diameters, LZ designs, components of routine SL evaluation, and recommended care products were collected. According to the survey results, 715 participants responded to at least one survey component of interest. Most lenses prescribed (63%) were 16 mm or more in diameter. Lenses with toric LZs were the most repeatedly prescribed (48%), followed by spherical (40%), quadrant-specific (8%), and image-based or impression-based designs (3%). Most participants (61%) recommended hydrogen peroxide products for lens care. Nonpreserved saline in a single-use vial was frequently recommended to fill the lens bowl before application. Intraocular pressure was measured during SL evaluation by 45% of participants; 38% of participants routinely measured corneal thickness.

Most eye specialists recommend single-use vials of nonpreserved saline and hydrogen peroxide-based disinfection systems for application and lens care. As per the report, with differences in components of routine SL evaluations, clinicians may benefit from reaching a consensus on crucial components of SL evaluation.

Scleral Lens Market Analysis based on the Segmental Share:

The global scleral lens market is segmented as follows:

By type, the market is segmented into corneo-scleral and semi-scleral lenses, mini-scleral lenses, and large scleral lenses. The mini-scleral lenses segment held the largest scleral lens market share in 2022 and is projected to register the highest CAGR during 2022–2030. Mini-scleral lenses are highly customized for comfort, optimum vision, and ocular health. Mini-scleral lenses are inserted with particular nonpreserved fluid beneath them, which stays trapped beneath the lens all day. These lenses are even of great advantage to those with dry eyes, as this trapped reservoir of tears beneath a mini-scleral lens can alleviate dry eye symptoms and help treat this often debilitating eye condition. Above mentioned factors are responsible for scleral lens market growth along with the segment growth.

In terms of application, the market is segmented into ocular surface disease, irregular cornea, refractive error, and others. The irregular cornea segment held the largest scleral lens market share in 2022 and is expected to record the highest CAGR from 2022 to 2030. Mini-scleral lenses are highly customized for comfort, optimum vision, and ocular health. Mini-scleral lenses are inserted with particular nonpreserved fluid beneath them, which stays trapped beneath the lens all day. These lenses are even of great advantage to those with dry eyes, as this trapped reservoir of tears beneath a mini-scleral lens can alleviate dry eye symptoms and help treat this often debilitating eye condition. Above mentioned factors are responsible for scleral lens market growth along with the segment growth.

Based on the end user, the scleral lens market is segmented into hospitals, eye clinics, and others. The hospital segment held the largest share of the market in 2022 and is expected to register the highest CAGR from 2022 to 2030. Hospitals encompass various medical facilities, ranging from community hospitals to large academic medical centers. They serve as major end users of scleral lenses. Multi-specialty hospitals offer treatments for various eye conditions; ophthalmologists treat thousands of patients with various eye conditions. Treatments are easily done in the hospitals due to the availability of the best doctors and assisting staff; other hospital services have also been provided. The other services, such as reimbursement, cost of hospital stay, and others, are taken care of with less struggle for the patients. Also, the hospitals create awareness about all the diseases and their related symptoms. Thus, owing to these factors, the hospital segment is likely to grow during the scleral lens market forecast period.

Based on geography, the scleral lens market report is segmented into Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East & Africa, North America, and South & Central America. 2022 North America held the largest share of the market. Asia Pacific is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during 2022–2030.

Further, Asia Pacific is expected to register the fastest CAGR during the scleral lens market forecast. The scleral lens market growth in Asia Pacific is attributed to the growing prevalence of dry eyes and various eye diseases in countries such as Australia and India. Additionally, the growing geriatric population, developing healthcare infrastructure, and increasing investments to boost research activities will drive the Asia Pacific market during the forecast period.   

Art Optical Contact Lens Inc., Euclid Systems, Bausch & Lomb, Cooper Vision, Acculens, Solotica, ABB Optical Group, EssilorLuxottica, Optact International Ltd., and Valley Contax Inc. are among the leading companies operating in the scleral lens market.
