Overview


According to FutureWise analysis the market for smart contact lenses in 2023 is US$ 0.57 billion, and is expected to reach US$ 8.04 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 39.10%.

A new 'kind' of wearable medical equipment called smart contact lenses uses technology platforms, including microcomputers, information or communication systems, and other electronic interfaces to provide a flexible, information-age solution for a contemporary individual. The smart contact lens is a standard hard or soft contact lens encased in a thin solid-state lithium-ion battery, a liquid crystal display, a tiny controller ASIC, a light sensor, an accelerometer, and a gyroscope. There are various uses for smart contact lenses, including treating myopia, hypoxia, and other eye conditions. Smart contact lenses can aid in enhancing vision by reducing refractive errors, which are a variety of eye illnesses that lead to vision issues that make it hard to see objects clearly. The market for smart contact lenses is predicted to grow in demand due to the rising use of smart lenses to stop macular degeneration.

The market for smart contact lenses is growing quickly due to increased wearable medical device use and greater healthcare awareness. The geriatric population and the frequency of chronic diseases, both on the rise, are further drivers propelling the market's progress. The industry that focuses on the creation and marketing of contact lenses equipped with advanced technologies that allow them to offer extra functionality beyond vision correction is known as the "Smart Contact Lenses Market." Smart contact lenses often integrate sensors, microchips, and other electronic components to monitor different aspects of eye health, detect biomarkers, or offer augmented reality (AR) features.

Recent developments by key players in Smart Contact Lenses Market:

In March 2022- The world's first truly smart contact lens, the Mojo Lens, was unveiled by Mojo Vision, the Invisible Computing Company, in its most advanced prototype. It includes a number of novels, and market-first capabilities. The company's development, testing, and validation process includes the Mojo Lens prototype, representing a crucial turning point. A smartphone, augmented reality/virtual reality, smart wearables, and health technology are all combined in one breakthrough.

The condition known as diabetic retinopathy is one type of diabetes complication that impairs eye vision. Diabetic retinopathy results from blood vessel damage in the retina. The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy may also increase as diabetes rates grow. Researchers suggest wireless smart contact lenses could offer an easy method of treating diabetic retinopathy and diagnosing diabetes. Furthermore, it can be difficult to see clearly due to a class of eye conditions called refractive flaws. Larger print and sharper images can be found due to the market for smart contact lenses. The market is evaluated to grow as more individuals wear smart lenses to prevent macular degeneration. The market for smart contact lenses is expected to grow as disorders that cause vision loss become more prevalent. Moreover, using smart lenses is one of the most recent and significant developments in contact lenses. These innovative lenses can detect glaucoma, diabetes, and other medical conditions with great speed. The advancement of smart contact lenses, which will allow individuals to take images with their eyes and adjust to changing lighting conditions for clear vision while switching from light to dark, is another area where major businesses are investing heavily. Smart contact lenses have been found to help people with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and other disorders. The market's expansion has been boosted by these R&D projects, which have increased the utilization of these smart lenses. However, it is projected that the expensive cost of these lenses may limit market growth. Long-term lens wear may also cause discomfort. If contact lenses are not carried properly, they may have several harmful effects, eventually resulting in vision impairment. These elements are predicted to impede market expansion.
