SCLERAL LENS MARKET SIZE AND SHARE ANALYSIS - GROWTH TRENDS AND FORECASTS (2025-2032)

The Global Scleral Lens Market is estimated to be valued at USD 360.2 Mn in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 781.5 Mn by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7% from 2025 to 2032.

The global scleral lens market has witnessed significant growth in recent years, driven by the increasing prevalence of ocular disorders and the rising demand for advanced vision correction solutions. Scleral lenses are large-diameter gas permeable contact lenses that vault over the entire corneal surface and rest on the white part of the eye, known as the sclera. These lenses are designed to provide a smooth optical surface to correct vision problems caused by irregular corneas, such as keratoconus, post-LASIK ectasia, and severe dry eye syndrome. The unique design of scleral lenses allows them to create a fluid reservoir between the lens and the cornea, providing constant hydration and comfort to the eye. As more people become aware of the benefits of scleral lenses, the market is expected to continue its upward trajectory in the coming years.

Market Dynamics

The global scleral lens market is influenced by several key factors that drive its growth, restrain its expansion, or present opportunities for further development. One of the primary drivers of the market is the increasing prevalence of ocular disorders, such as keratoconus, irregular astigmatism, and severe dry eye syndrome. As more people are diagnosed with these conditions, the demand for scleral lenses as a viable treatment option rises. Additionally, the growing geriatric population worldwide is expected to contribute to the market's growth, as older individuals are more susceptible to age-related eye disorders. However, the high cost of scleral lenses compared to traditional contact lenses may restrain market growth, particularly in developing economies where affordability is a concern. Moreover, the lack of skilled eye care professionals trained in fitting scleral lenses could also hinder market expansion. Despite these restraints, the market presents significant opportunities for growth, such as the development of advanced materials and technologies that enhance the comfort and performance of scleral lenses. The increasing awareness among patients and eye care professionals about the benefits of scleral lenses is also expected to drive market growth in the coming years.
