Scleral Lens Market Analysis

Type (Mini-Scleral Lenses, Corneo-Scleral Lenses and Semi-Scleral, Full-Scleral Lenses)

The full-scleral lenses segment is set to account for largest market share by 2037. The complete scleral lens is the greatest variety of scleral lens. It provides the greatest coverage between the cornea and the rear surface of the lens. A complete scleral lens is utilized in cases of severe ocular illness, extreme dry eyes, or advanced keratoconus.

When the cornea is injured or distorted, conventional contact lenses and eyeglasses frequently cannot restore visual acuity (irregular). The cornea is covered by bigger lenses called sclera. The sclera, or white part of the eye, supports it. There is a moist bed covering the cornea. Excellent comfort and vision are offered by this. This segment is anticipated given the rising occurrence of corneal abnormalities. As per the World Health Organization, 1.9 million individuals suffer from corneal blindness as a result of corneal opacification, making up around 5% of all blind patients.

Application (Keratoconus, Astigmatism, Dry Eyes, Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis (GPC), Post-Refractive Surgery, Presbyopia, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, Eyelid coloboma, Athletes)

The keratoconus segment will rise at a substantial CAGR over the projected time frame.  Glasses cannot fit the irregular, cone-shaped corneas of keratoconus patients, and as a result, they cannot effectively correct their vision. The best option is to utilize scleral contact lenses, which sit on the sclera without touching the cornea and, in most situations, offer optimum clarity while staying fully comfortable.

Many optometrists and ophthalmologists advise scleral contact lenses for a range of hard-to-fit eye conditions, such as keratoconus eyes. In instances of early keratoconus, a regular GP lens may be utilized. On the other hand, employing a large-diameter scleral contact lens could be the solution if the lens is uncomfortable and does not center on the eye or move significantly with blinks.
