The intraocular lens market size is expected to reach USD 7.59 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report "Intraocular Lens (IOL) Market Size, Share, & Trends Analysis Report: By Product, By End Use (Hospitals, Ophthalmic Clinics, Ambulatory Surgery Centers, and Eye Research Institutes), and By Region - Market Forecast, 2025-2034" gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
An intraocular lens (IOL) is an artificial lens implanted in the eye to replace the eye's natural lens when it is removed during cataract surgery.
More patients today are choosing premium IOLs such as multifocal, toric, and extended depth-of-focus lenses as they provide better vision outcomes and reduce the need for eyeglasses after surgery. As awareness grows and patients become more involved in their treatment choices, they are willing to pay more for lenses that improve their quality of life. Additionally, health insurance in many countries is expanding to cover part of the cost of these lenses. This shift in patient preference and payment capability boosts the market for premium IOLs, encouraging companies to invest in research and offer differentiated, higher-value products.
Today's patients are not just looking to fix cataracts; they want better overall vision without relying on glasses or contact lenses. Many people also want to correct issues such as astigmatism or presbyopia during their cataract surgery, making refractive IOLs more popular. Younger patients undergoing lens replacement surgery for lifestyle reasons, such as correcting high myopia or enhancing vision quality, are also increasing. This shift from purely medical needs to lifestyle-driven choices expands the market for premium IOLs. As more people view good vision as part of overall well-being and appearance, the demand for advanced lenses continues to grow.
Based on product, in 2024, the multifocal intraocular lenses segment dominated with the largest share due to their ability to improve vision at multiple distances, such as near, intermediate, and far.
The Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) segment, by end use, is expected to record the fastest growth during the forecast period due to their efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and shorter patient wait times.
In 2024, the North America IOL market dominated with the largest share due to advanced healthcare infrastructure, high awareness about eye health, and a large aging population prone to cataracts.
The Asia Pacific intraocular lens market is experiencing significant growth, driven by a large population base, increasing healthcare investments, and rising awareness about cataract treatments.
A few global key market players are Alcon, Inc.; Bausch & Lomb Incorporated; Carl Zeiss Meditec AG; EyeKon Medical, Inc.; HOYA CORPORATION; HumanOptics AG; Johnson and Johnson Vision Care, Inc.; Lenstec, Inc.; Rayner; and STAAR Surgical Company.
