Description

Silicon lenses are a type of soft contact lens that allow up to five times more oxygen to permeate the cornea than traditional hydrogel lenses. This allows patients to wear their contacts for longer periods of time without experiencing discomfort from dry eyes and may even reduce the risk of eye infections. Silicone lenses are available in sphere lenses to correct myopia (short-sightedness) and hyperopia (long-sightedness) as well as toric lenses to address astigmatism.

Market Dynamics

The global contact lens market is expected to grow at a strong pace during the forecast period. This is mainly due to the increase in number of developments strategies like product launch and acquisition by different contact lenses industry players. For instance, in April 2021, Cooper Vision, a globally recognized manufacturer of contact lenses announced that they have acquired No7 Contact Lenses which designs and manufactures specialty contact lenses distributed primarily in the UK. In addition to this, increase in product approval of contact lenses is anticipated to propel the growth of the market.

However, there are some disadvantages to Silicone (Si) lenses – such as the fact that they tend to be harder and have a higher modulus than regular hydrogels and can therefore create greater shear forces during wear. This can cause a build-up of protein deposits, eye irritation and other complications. This factor is expected to hamper the market growth.
