Orthokeratology Lens Market

Market Definition:

The global Orthokeratology Lens Market size was valued at USD 534.61 million in 2021 and is predicted to reach USD 973.19 million by 2030 with a CAGR of 6.88% from 2022-2030. Orthokeratology, also known as Ortho-K or Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) is a non-surgical treatment to correct refractive errors by modifying the curvature of the cornea using custom-designed rigid lens.

Most commonly, orthokeratology are used in myopia reduction, hence, the rising uptake of myopia management efforts is boosting the expansion of the orthokeratology specialty. Moreover, advances such as novel overnight ortho-K-lens, along with growing FDA approvals are few factors augmenting the growth. Currently, this market is a niche, yet represents high avenues in the overall contact lens market.

Market Dynamics and Trends

The demand for orthokeratology lens market is driven by growing awareness of advanced ortho-K lens, such as Vision Shaping Treatment and Corneal Refractive Therapy, and the increasing burden of patients with refractive errors. For instance, according to the report of Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science published in 2021, Myopia affected nearly 30% of the world population in 2020 and this number is expected to reach 50% by 2050.

Furthermore, prolonged usage of smartphones and laptops leads to eye damage in children and young people and they are more prone to eye problems such as myopia, asthenopia, astigmatism, and blurred vision. According to the American Optometric Association, people affected by astigmatism prefer corrective eyeglasses to improve their vision instead of surgery. In addition, each year, 1 in every 3 persons in the U.S. suffers from astigmatism, thereby creating a large patient pool.

However, high preferences toward alternative treatment options like medication & surgery and the high cost associated with ophthalmic equipment hamper the market progression. Conversely, increasing online campaigns related to myopia treatment in order to raise awareness among the population creates ample growth opportunities during the forecast period. For instance, in August 2021, CooperVision launched an awareness campaign to encourage parents to protect their children’s eye health. The campaign also supported eye care practitioners to develop a range of tools for myopia management and further guide parents in their children’s treatment.

Geographical Analysis

North America holds the largest revenue share in the global orthokeratology lens market. Factors boosting revenue generation include continuous progression in orthokeratology with the launch of innovative products with higher flexibility, rising cases of visual impairment, and strategies undertaken by major players. For instance, in April 2021, Johnson & Johnson Vision collaborated with Menicon to combine its expertise with the scale, science & capabilities of J&J Vision to address the growing cases of myopia in children. Under the collaboration, Menicon would develop therapeutic contact lens while J&J Vision would focus on expanding the availability of new products.
