Scleral Lens Market- Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, Segmented By Type, By Application, By End User By Region and Competition, 2020-2030F

Description

The Global Scleral Lens Market, valued at USD 282.34 Million in 2024, is projected to experience a CAGR of 4.27% to reach USD 362.84 Million by 2030. Scleral lenses are specialized, large-diameter rigid gas permeable contact lenses designed to fully vault the cornea and rest on the sclera, creating a fluid reservoir that corrects vision and manages various complex ocular surface diseases, including keratoconus, irregular astigmatism, and severe dry eye. The market's growth is primarily supported by the increasing global prevalence of these ocular disorders, for which scleral lenses offer superior visual acuity and comfort. Further momentum stems from continuous advancements in lens materials and design, enhancing oxygen permeability and customization capabilities, alongside growing awareness among patients and practitioners regarding their therapeutic benefits.

Key Market Drivers

The global scleral lens market is significantly propelled by the increasing prevalence of complex ocular diseases, which necessitate advanced vision correction and therapeutic solutions. Conditions such as keratoconus, severe dry eye disease, and irregular astigmatism present substantial challenges for traditional contact lenses or spectacles, making scleral lenses an essential alternative due to their ability to vault the cornea and provide a stable fluid reservoir. This functional superiority addresses the unique needs of patients suffering from these debilitating conditions. According to "Global Incidence and Prevalence of Keratoconus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis", August 2025, over 23.7 million individuals globally are affected by Keratoconus, directly fueling the demand for effective management tools like scleral lenses. The expanding patient population with such diseases creates a foundational demand that innovative scleral lens technology is designed to meet.

Key Market Challenges

The substantial cost associated with scleral lenses directly impedes the market's expansion. These specialized medical devices often entail significant out-of-pocket expenses for patients, primarily due to limited insurance coverage. According to a Dry Eye Shop survey conducted in October 2023, the percentage of patients who reported receiving at least 50% insurance coverage for their scleral lenses declined to 34% from 43% in 2019. Concurrently, the proportion of patients receiving no insurance coverage for scleral lenses increased to 55% in 2023, up from 48% in 2019. This trend highlights a growing financial burden placed on individuals, restricting access to a valuable vision correction and ocular surface management solution.

Key Market Trends

The integration of tele-optometry services is a significant trend for the global scleral lens market, enhancing accessibility to specialized care. A July 2024 Provider inSights report by The Vision Council indicated that nearly 80% of eye care providers do not currently offer telehealth services, highlighting substantial untapped potential for remote consultations and follow-up care, particularly for scleral lens patients. Further demonstrating digital integration, a Bausch + Lomb executive reported in May 2025 that its Opal digital marketplace, launched in October 2024 to streamline contact lens ordering, processed over 60,000 orders in its initial months.
