Scleral Lens Market Outlook:
Scleral Lens Market size was valued at USD 351.11 million in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 1.02 billion by 2035, registering around 11.3% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2026-2035. In the year 2026, the industry size of scleral lens is evaluated at USD 386.82 million.
The scleral lens market is significantly growing due to the high prevalence of vision problems such as keratoconus, corneal ectasia, and dry eye syndrome in many parts of the globe. Scleral lenses are gaining traction among people across various age groups with severe corneal conditions as they offer better comfort, stability, and visual acuity than regular contact lenses. The development of advanced materials and designs such as silicone hydrogel lenses and orthokeratology has led to increased global adoption of the use of contact lenses, including scleral lenses. In November 2021, CooperVision Specialty EyeCare launched Optimized Pupil Optics for its Onefit MED + scleral contact lenses to eyecare providers (ECPs). This high-precision design is supported by a user-friendly online fitting tool that enables ECPs to reposition the multifocal options aligning with the visual axis.
In addition, the availability of specialized scleral lens designs such as those for myopia and irregular cornea management, has further expanded the scleral lens market. Manufacturers are developing personalized scleral lenses to address each patient's unique demands. For instance, in August 2023, Visionary Optics announced the launch of Europa Tangent, a scleral lens with a combination of optimized, customizable design with a streamlined fitting process.
