What Are The Core Factors Supporting Growth In The Orthokeratology Lens Market?
The anticipated escalation in ocular disorder instances is poised to stimulate orthokeratology lens market development. Ocular disorders, alternatively referred to as eye conditions or ophthalmic conditions, encompass a broad spectrum of medical concerns and irregularities impacting the eyes and their related structures. Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lenses are predominantly employed to rectify refractive errors, like myopia (nearsightedness), and to afford temporary vision improvement without dependence on eyeglasses or daytime contact lenses. For example, as per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US governmental agency, nearly 20.5 million Americans aged 40 and above, equivalent to 17.2% of the populace, had at least a single cataract in December 2022. By 2028, the prediction is that 30 million people will have cataracts. Consequently, the escalating prevalence of eye-related disorders is catalyzing orthokeratology lens market expansion. Increasing in the elderly population is also anticipated to stimulate orthokeratology lens market growth. This population group, generally 65 years and above, can benefit from orthokeratology lenses by having non-surgical vision correction, thus enhancing near and distant vision sans the requirement for daytime glasses or contact lenses. In October 2022, the World Health Organization, a health agency based in Switzerland, predicted that by 2030 globally, one out of every six people will be 60 years or older, and the global elderly populace is forecasted to touch 2.1 billion by 2050. Hence, the surge in the geriatric population is fueling the orthokeratology lens market's growth.
