Orthokeratology Lens Global Market Report 2026

Orthokeratology lenses are specialized rigid gas-permeable contact lenses created with the purpose of temporarily reshaping the cornea, which is the clear, dome-shaped front surface of the eye. They are primarily utilized for the correction and management of nearsightedness (myopia), aiming to eliminate the necessity for glasses or contact lenses during the day.

The primary categories of orthokeratology lenses include daytime ortho-k lenses and overnight ortho-k lenses. Daytime orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lenses, also referred to as daytime ortho-K lenses or corneal refractive therapy (CRT), constitute a specific type of contact lens designed to address vision correction needs during waking hours without relying on glasses or traditional daytime contact lenses. These lenses are crafted from various materials such as silicone acrylate, fluorosilicone acrylate, and fluorocarbon acrylate. They are employed in the treatment of various visual conditions, including myopia, presbyopia, hypermetropia, and astigmatism. The distribution of these lenses is typically facilitated through hospitals, optometry clinics, ophthalmology clinics, and other relevant channels.

Tariffs are influencing the orthokeratology lens market by increasing costs on imported lens polymers, rigid gas-permeable materials, and precision molding components, which has raised procurement and manufacturing expenses for silicone acrylate, fluorosilicone acrylate, and fluorocarbon acrylate lenses. The impact is more pronounced across overnight ortho-k lenses and pediatric myopia indications, particularly in Asia-Pacific and North American regions that depend on cross-border sourcing through optometry and ophthalmology clinic distribution channels. These tariffs have slowed price-sensitive adoption in some markets; however, they are also encouraging regional manufacturing, local material sourcing, and domestic supplier development, creating selective positive outcomes for localized production ecosystems.

The orthokeratology lens market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides orthokeratology lens market statistics, including orthokeratology lens industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a orthokeratology lens market share, detailed orthokeratology lens market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the orthokeratology lens industry. This orthokeratology lens market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The orthokeratology lens market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.75 billion in 2025 to $2.92 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising prevalence of myopia in school-age populations, early clinical evidence supporting safety of orthokeratology therapy, penetration of ortho-k through optometry clinics and specialty eye care practices, increasing awareness among parents regarding myopia management options, introduction of advanced rigid gas permeable lens materials.

The orthokeratology lens market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.73 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing pediatric myopia burden in apac and urban regions, expanding adoption of multifocal overnight ortho-k lenses, increasing availability of ortho-k through ophthalmology clinics and hospitals, wider practitioner training and certification in specialty lens fitting, rising acceptance of ortho-k as a non-surgical alternative to refractive correction. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of overnight ortho-k lenses for myopia control, rising use of orthokeratology among pediatric and young adult populations, growing preference for non-surgical and reversible vision correction solutions, expansion of specialty optometry practices providing ortho-k fitting services, increasing customization of lens designs based on corneal topography profiles.

The rising incidence of eye-related disorders is expected to propel the growth of the orthokeratology lens market going forward. Eye-related disorders, also referred to as ophthalmic conditions, encompass a broad range of diseases and abnormalities affecting the eyes and their associated structures. Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lenses are primarily used to correct refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness) by temporarily reshaping the cornea, enabling clear vision without the need for daytime eyeglasses or contact lenses. The growing burden of vision impairment worldwide is increasing demand for non-invasive, vision-correction solutions such as Ortho-K lenses, particularly for pediatric and young adult populations. For instance, in August 2023, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization, more than 2.2 billion people globally experience near or distance vision impairment, with at least 1 billion cases being preventable or untreated. Refractive errors and cataracts remain the leading causes, yet only 36% of individuals with refractive errors and 17% with cataract-related impairment have received appropriate treatment. Therefore, the rising incidence of eye-related disorders is driving the growth of the orthokeratology lens market.

Major companies operating in the orthokeratology lens market are developing innovative products such as Menicon Z Night to increase their profitability in the market. Menicon Z Night is a particular kind of orthokeratology lens, a form of contact lens made to alter the cornea's shape and lessen refractive problems such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. For instance, in May 2023, Menicon Co. Ltd., a Japan-based eyewear company launched an orthokeratology lens named Menicon Z Night. It is applied to short-term corneal reshaping and vision improvement. The lens is worn at night to treat myopia and/or astigmatism, and after one week of use, it effectively reduces myopia and gives steady vision. It is typically well-tolerated, and the lens is fitted with the use of computer software to ensure a high first-fit success rate.

In March 2025, Contact Lens Precision Laboratories (CLPL), a UK-based specialty contact lens manufacturer, acquired Scotlens Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, CLPL seeks to integrate its advanced manufacturing expertise and global distribution network with Scotlens' clinical know-how in orthokeratology (Ortho-K), keratoconus, and irregular cornea solutions to enhance support for eye care professionals and patients with specialized vision requirements. Scotlens Ltd. is a Scotland-based producer of custom contact lenses focused on addressing complex and irregular corneal conditions.
