Market Overview

Smart contact lenses are implemented with sensors, which detect intraocular pressure and glucose levels in tears. With smart devices gaining immense popularity across the world due to several benefits like constant monitoring of health indicators, smart contact lenses have emerged as an important device. Smart contact received the U.S. approval in August 2015 for monitoring intraocular pressure. The global smart contact lenses market share is expected to register a CAGR of 9.3%, surpassing a valuation of USD 10.7 billion during the forecast period (2023-2032).

Smart contact lenses comprise a miniaturized glucose sensor and a wireless chip. The tiny pinhole present in the lens enables tear fluid to ooze out into the sensor and measure blood sugar level. The smart contact lenses market overview is gaining traction across the globe, mainly due to the rising incidence of diabetes, replacement of smart glasses by smart lenses, changing trends identified in eyewear, and increased demand of wearable medical devices. Moreover, the key players involved in the market are highly engaged in the development of innovative products, which helps them to withstand their position in the market.

The surging demand for more efficient glaucoma management approaches will encourage the market growth in the coming years. Also, advancements in ophthalmology are estimated to augment the product demand. The rising incidence of diabetes-related complications like ophthalmology, and eye disorders, and surging prevalence of glaucoma will contribute to the market growth across the globe.

On the contrary, smart contact lenses are expensive, which can slow down its growth in the foreseeable future.
