Eyewear refers to corrective and protective products and accessories worn on the eyes. It includes contact lenses, sunglasses and spectacles that are manufactured using metal, plastic-based cellulose-acetate and glass. They are widely used for protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiations, dust and air-bound particles to enhance visual clarity. Eyewear usually has minimal maintenance requirements and also aid in providing enhanced comfort and improving the visual health of the wearer. Novel product variants are integrated with anti-fatigue, anti-glare, light-adaptive and multifocal lenses for added comfort and improved visibility for the users.
The growth in the India eyewear market can be attributed to the increasing geriatric population, which is more prone to chronic eye-related diseases. Elderly individuals are highly susceptible to developing macular degeneration, glaucoma, blepharitis and diabetes that can weaken and damage the eyes, thereby leading to poor vision. Additionally, the increasing prevalence of other eyesight-related disorders, such as dry eyes, chronic eye irritation and computer vision syndrome (CVS) due to the rising exposure to digital devices that emit harmful lights is positively impacting the market growth. Various technological advancements, such as the advent of three-dimensional (3D) printed eyewear, are favoring the market growth. These products provide enhanced customizability and can aid in creating trendy looks for the wearers. Other factors, including the launch of affordable and aesthetically appealing eyewear, along with the implementation of various awareness programs by both government and non-government institutions regarding eye care, are creating a positive outlook for the market.
