Global Single Vision Lenses Market Research Report 2025(Status and Outlook)
Description
Report Overview
Single vision lenses are optical lenses designed to correct a single field of vision, typically addressing either nearsightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia). Unlike progressive or bifocal lenses, which incorporate multiple prescriptions for varying distances, single vision lenses provide uniform refractive power across the entire surface, making them ideal for individuals with consistent vision correction needs. They are widely used in eyeglasses for daily wear, computer use, or reading, depending on the prescription. The simplicity and cost-effectiveness of single vision lenses contribute to their broad adoption among consumers of all age groups, particularly younger individuals who may not yet require multifocal solutions. The market for these lenses is influenced by factors such as increasing screen time, rising prevalence of refractive errors, and advancements in lens materials that enhance durability, comfort, and clarity.
The global Single Vision Lenses market size was estimated at USD 6847.37 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 0.10% during the forecast period.
