Description

The Japan ophthalmic spectacle lenses and equipment market size is expected to reach USD 5.60 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Japan Ophthalmic Spectacle Lenses and Equipment Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report By Product (Ophthalmic Spectacle Lenses, Ophthalmic Spectacle Equipment), By Lens Type, By Lens Material, By Usage, By Equipment – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

Ophthalmic spectacle lenses are vision-correcting lenses prescribed to address refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, and presbyopia (age-related difficulty in focusing on close objects). Ophthalmic equipment refers to the tools and devices used by eye care professionals for eye examinations, lens manufacturing, and fitting.

Japan is experiencing an increase in the incidence of myopia, especially among children and young adults. Factors such as intense academic pressure, long hours of screen time, and limited outdoor activity contribute to early vision problems. This trend is pushing demand for early intervention through regular eye check-ups, myopia control lenses, and digital eye strain solutions. The demand for specialized lenses and diagnostic tools grows as parents become more proactive about their children’s eye health. This youth-driven rise in vision issues is becoming a major long-term driver for the ophthalmic spectacle lenses and equipment market in Japan.

Japan has a well-developed network of optical retailers, ranging from large chains to specialized independent stores. These outlets often offer in-house eye exams, custom lens fitting, and same-day service, making vision care highly accessible and efficient. The convenience and service quality attract a wide range of consumers and support consistent product turnover. Additionally, retail innovation such as online booking, virtual try-ons, and digital eye screenings further boosts customer engagement. This robust retail structure plays a critical role in expanding the reach of ophthalmic products and equipment, thereby driving the growth.

Japan Ophthalmic Spectacle Lenses and Equipment Market Report Highlights

The ophthalmic spectacle lenses segment accounted for 80.55% regional share in 2024 due to high rates of vision issues such as myopia and presbyopia.

The glass segment accounted for 19.01% regional market share in 2024, as they are preferred by individuals who prioritize optical clarity and scratch resistance, such as professionals with demanding visual needs or older adults used to traditional materials.

A few key market players are Bausch + Lomb; EssilorLuxottica; GKB Ophthalmics Ltd.; Hoya Corporation; Johnson & Johnson; Nikon Corporation; Rodenstock GmbH; Vision Service Plan (VSP) Global; and Zeiss Vision Care.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
