Orthokeratology Lens Market Segment Insights:
Fluoro silicone acrylate is projected to hold a significant market share
Based on materials, the orthokeratology lens market can be segmented into fluorocarbon acrylate, fluoro silicone acrylate, and silicon acrylate. The fluoro silicone acrylate segment is projected to hold significant market share during the forecast period. Silicone is extremely flexible that makes it a preferred choice for contact lenses. Moreover, fluoro acrylate has a high refractive index has pushed the manufacturers to make fluoro silicone acrylate lenses due to the combined benefit.
Myopia segment held a substantial market share in 2020
On the basis of applications, the orthokeratology market can be divided into myopia, presbyopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. The myopia segment constituted for a considerable market share in 2020, and is anticipated to grow at a robust growth in the recent years due to the rising prevalence of short sightedness issues among people of all age groups. Other eye issues such as astigmatism and presbyopia are more common with middle aged or older people; however, myopia affects people in all age groups. Thus, the demand for orthokeratology lenses is comparatively more for the treatment of myopia.
Ophthalmic clinics segment to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period
Based on end-users, the orthokeratology lens market can be segregated into ophthalmic clinics, hospitals, and others. The ophthalmic clinics segment is anticipated to expand at a significant growth rate during the forecast period. Rising preference for clinics for orthokeratology treatments is driving the segment growth. Rising presence of optical clinics is spurring the segment growth. The opticians aid the patients to fit their lenses and to correct their optical issues without any surgery.
