COVID-19 had a negative impact on the global laser vision correction market. This is because ophthalmology experienced one of the largest decreases in patient visits due to the pandemic. For instance, according to an article published in October 2025, in PubMed, a free search engine for biological databases and medical reports, visits the week of April 2025 were down by 79% compared to the week of March 2025 (referred to as baseline or pre-pandemic levels).
Global Laser Vision Correction Market: Key Developments
Strategies like novel product launches can boost the growth of the global laser vision correction market during the forecast period.
