Market dynamics
5 factors across 3 forcesGovernment Initiatives and Fundings to Improve Accessibility to Eye Care Services
Vision loss and other impairments impact the lives of people, their capabilities, employability, income, and access to education and healthcare, among others. Also, the burden of eye conditions and vision impairment is not distributed equally but is often far greater in rural areas and low-income countries. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), as of August 2024, over 2 billion people globally are living with vision impairment or blindness, and approximately 1.1 billion people are living with vision loss because they do not get the care they need for conditions like short and far-sightedness, glaucoma, and cataract.
Various countries and their governments are introducing initiatives or services to improve the accessibility of eye care services to all people. For instance, in India, the Ministry of Health and Welfare initiated the Mission Mode Cataract Surgery campaign under the National Programme for Control of Blindness and Visual Impairment (NPCBVI), which initiated a target of 75,00,000 cataract surgeries in FY 2022 -2024.
In May 2025, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) launched the Vision Health Initiative (VHI), which collaborates with national, state, and local partners to advance vision health equity. VHI also has a Glaucoma Detection Program that works to improve glaucoma screening and management.
Visual Impairment Due to Excessive Use of Digital Devices
The use of mobile phones & laptops has resulted in an increased number of individuals with eye problems, in addition to depression, obesity, and anxiety in all age groups. In 2022, TechJury (U.S.), a business software solution provider, reported that people in the U.S. spent more than five and half hours every day on their mobile phones, an increase of 25% in the last five years. The number of internet users worldwide reached 4.2 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach 5.0 billion in 2025. (Source: The Mobile Economy 2022 Report). Thus, excessive use of digital devices is expected to drive the incidences of eye diseases globally.
Also, according to a newsletter published by the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, increased screen time among children has led to a rise in asthenopia, which causes dimness of vision, eye discomfort, and headache. Thus, the increased screen time on digital devices like laptops & mobile phones is expected to drive the incidence of eye diseases and disorders, increasing the global demand for intraocular lenses.

By Type
- The Multifocal Intraocular Lens Segment to Dominate the Intraocular Lens Market
- The multifocal lenses segment is expected to account for the largest share of 28.9% of the intraocular lenses market.
- Multifocal intraocular lenses provide different focus at distant and near vision objects.
- The large share of the segment is attributed to factors such as proven/predictable results, cost-effectiveness, minimum maintenance, and the high prevalence of cataracts in older people.
- The key market players are undertaking various strategic initiatives to innovate multifocal intraocular lenses.
- For instance, in May 2020, Johnson & Johnson Vision (U.S.) announced the U.S. launch of the TECNIS Multifocal Toric II Intraocular Lens (IOL).
- This IOL includes features of a new generation of frosted haptics, offering more surface texture and friction between the lens haptics and the capsular bag.
By Material
- The hydrophobic acrylic segment is expected to account for the largest share of the intraocular lens market.
- Hydrophobic acrylic is the most commonly used type of material in IOLs.
- This material is composed of crosslinked copolymers of acrylic esters and other acrylic ester co-monomers, with a carbon backbone and ester side groups.
- The large share of the segment is attributed to factors such as the increasing popularity of ophthalmologists, good mechanical stability, good uveal biocompatibility, ease of manufacturing, and lower rates of complications in IOL.
- For instance, in June 2022, Battig Treuhand AG (Switzerland) announced the launch of the Eyecryl SERT – Advanced Monofocal IOL at the 80th Annual Conference of the All India Ophthalmological Society in Mumbai, India.
- The Eyecryl SERT IOLs are made of hydrophobic acrylic materials containing natural yellow chromophores and are intended to be implanted in the posterior chamber of the eye for visual correction of aphakia.
By Application
- The Cataract Surgery Segment to Dominate the Intraocular Lens Market
- The cataract surgery segment is expected to account for the largest share of 52.4% of the intraocular lens market.
- Cataract surgery, also known as lens replacement surgery, is the removal of the natural lens of the eye and replacing it with an artificial one.
- IOLs used in cataract surgeries decrease or eliminate a person’s dependence on corrective eyewear, carry out daily activities without the use of contact lenses or glasses, and are also used for correcting presbyopia.
- The large share of the segment is attributed to factors such as the increasing number of cataract surgeries, growing demand for intraocular lenses, and increasing technological advancements in intraocular lenses.
- For instance, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology (U.S.), globally, over 10 million cataract surgeries are performed each year.
By End User
- The Hospitals Segment to Dominate the Intraocular Lens Market
- The hospitals segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market.
- The large share of the segment can be attributed to the high influx of patients in hospitals & clinics due to the presence of highly skilled healthcare professionals and advanced infrastructure, the increasing number of cataract surgeries, and the proliferation of specialized eye care clinics.
Geographic analysis
North America
Largest shareIn 2025, North America is expected to account for the largest share of 41.8% of the intraocular lens market, followed by Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. The largest share of the segment is primarily due to the presence of major intraocular lens companies such as Johnson & Johnson Services, Inc (U.S.), a well-established healthcare infrastructure, and the high prevalence of eye diseases such as astigmatism, hyperopia, presbyopia, corneal ectasias, and post-refractive surgeries in this region. By Geography: In 2025, North America to Dominate the Intraocular Lens Market
Asia-Pacific
Fastest growthHowever, Asia-Pacific is slated to register the highest CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period. This is attributed to factors such as the rising awareness about eye care, improving healthcare systems in countries such as China and India, increasing healthcare expenditures, and the growing awareness about intraocular lenses.
