Smart Contact Lenses are used to monitor glucose levels in tears as well as intraocular pressure. The glucose sensor and wireless chip in the smart lens are positioned between the soft layers of lenses with a tiny hole, allowing tear flow for measurement and data collecting. The wireless chip transmits signals to wireless devices using acquired data, and RFID wireless technology is utilized to extract power from these devices. It is frequently used as a healthcare solution for diabetes people who want to check their fitness level and monitor their blood pressure, body temperature, and cholesterol levels.

Smart Contact Lenses Market: Report Scope

Material Segment Analysis Preview

The market is divided into three types of materials: gas permeable, silicone hydrogel, and hybrid. Over the projected period, the hybrid lens category is predicted to increase significantly. A hybrid lens combines gas-permeable and silicone hydrogel materials. It comprises of an RGP center zone surrounded by a soft or silicone hydrogel material peripheral skirt. It combines the softness of a soft lens with the optical clarity of an RGP lens. People with astigmatism and keratoconus are projected to utilize hybrid lenses more frequently, which is likely to boost category development.

Distribution Channel Segment Analysis Preview

The market is divided into three categories based on the distribution channel: e-commerce, Eye-Care Professionals (ECP), and retail. Independent eye-care practitioners distribute the bulk of the lenses created. As a result, Internet shopping is predicted to have the least market share. As a result, market penetration in the ECP channel represents a significant profit opportunity. Contact lenses used to need daily removal and extensive cleaning procedures. Furthermore, consumers traditionally purchased eye lenses from eye practitioners; however, the introduction of disposable soft contact lenses that consumers wear for only a few weeks, as well as the advancement of non-practitioner lens sellers, such as e-commerce contact lens retailers, altered market dynamics. The e-commerce industry has simplified distribution and allowed firms to expand their geographic reach globally.
