Scleral Lens Market Size

Scleral Lens Market size was over USD 363.77 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 1.01 billion by 2037, witnessing around 8.1% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of scleral lens is evaluated at USD 387.34 million.

The growth of the market is anticipated by the growing demand for scleral lenses that has increased across many countries in part because of the rising prevalence of vision problems such as keratoconus and dry eye syndrome. These lenses are a favored option for people with difficult corneal conditions across various age groups because they offer better comfort, stability, and visual acuity than regular contact lenses. Of every 100,000 people, keratoconus affects between 50 and 200.

Furthermore, the development of advanced materials and designs, such as silicone hydrogel lenses and orthokeratology, has led to increased worldwide use of contact lenses, including scleral lenses. The availability of specialized scleral lens designs, such as those for myopia management and irregular cornea management, has further expanded the scleral lens market and catered to specific patient needs.

According to the recent review, scleral lens prescriptions accounted for over 2% of the total contact lens market in 2021. In the gas permeable (GP) lens market, scleral lens use increased from 14% in 2021 to 21% in 2022.
