Next Generation Contact Lenses Market Overview

The Next Generation Contact Lenses Market plays a crucial role in the optical and vision care industry. It focuses on creating, making, and selling cutting-edge lenses that do more than just fix eyesight. This market is Growing cause of new high-tech devices that aim to improve human vision. These lenses are made from soft and hard plastics. Today, over 151 million people around the world use contact lenses. Tech-savvy folks between 25 and 40 are the biggest users, but older adults are starting to use smart lenses more often to correct their vision and keep an eye on their health.

Contact lenses have been around since the 1960s. The first ones were made from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).
