Introduction

Abstract

Convenience drives the contact lens market where preference is increasingly in favor of daily, biweekly, and monthly disposables, as against the conventional soft lens, and rigid gas permeables. Rigid gas permeables, however, have a strong niche of wearers requiring high acuity. The latest in technological developments has brought soft contacts adding silicone hydrogels to the global marketplace, a scientific advancement expected to revolutionize the extended wear lenses segment. The contact lens and lens care solutions market is highly competitive and concentrated. Companies compete on the basis of factors such as product performance, price, marketing, and distribution reach.

These and other market data and trends are presented in "Contact Lenses and Solutions: A Global Market Review" by BizAcumen, Inc. Our reports are designed to be most comprehensive in geographic coverage and vertical market analyses.
