Single Vision Lenses Market Report 2025

This Single Vision Lenses market report provides a comprehensive analysis of the market’s characteristics, size, and growth, including segmentation, regional and country-level breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends, and strategies. It also tracks historical and forecasted market growth across various geographies.

The single vision lenses market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $7.03 billion in 2024 to $7.37 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the development of new materials, the introduction of digital lens designs and freeform technology, improvements in surgical techniques, continuous research efforts in optics and materials, and a surge in medical tourism for vision correction surgeries.

The single vision lenses market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.75 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the growth of industrial sectors necessitating protective eyewear, awareness of UV protection and blue light filtering, improvement in healthcare facilities and eyecare clinics, and globalization of manufacturing. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for presbyopia-correcting lenses, growing prevalence of myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia, implementation of vision care programs, adoption of telehealth services, and policies promoting vision care and insurance coverage for eyewear.

The rising prevalence of myopia is expected to drive the growth of the single vision lenses market in the coming years. Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a refractive error in which distant objects appear blurry while close objects are seen clearly. The increasing incidence of myopia is attributed to factors such as increased screen time, extended work hours, and aging populations. Single vision lenses correct myopia by focusing light directly on the retina, thereby improving distance vision. For example, in September 2024, a report by BMJ Publishing Group, a UK-based health organization, stated that over 36% of children and adolescents globally are affected by myopia, a significant increase from previous decades. Projections suggest that by 2050, the number of myopic individuals could surpass 740 million. Therefore, the growing prevalence of myopia is driving the expansion of the single vision lenses market.

Leading companies in the single vision lenses market are concentrating on innovating their product offerings to gain competitive advantage. Advanced products such as lenses providing 360⁰ visual clarity are designed to enhance vision precision across all angles, ensuring comprehensive focus for various activities and daily tasks without compromising peripheral vision. For example, HOYA Corporation, a Japan-based optical company, introduced MySV single-vision lenses with 360⁰ Visual Comfort in September 2022. These lenses integrate four key elements into their design to enhance wearer confidence in all situations and improve overall visual comfort.

In July 2022, Lenskart, an India-based optical prescription eyewear retail chain, acquired a majority stake in Owndays, a Japan-based eyewear company, to expand its presence in the Asian market and enhance its capabilities in the eyewear industry. This acquisition underscores Lenskart's strategy to revolutionize the vision care industry through a more engaging and technology-driven customer experience. Owndays offers a variety of lens options, including single vision lenses, aligning with Lenskart's vision of providing innovative solutions in vision care.

Single vision lenses are corrective lenses designed to address vision at a single distance, either for nearsightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia). Unlike multifocal lenses, they maintain consistent optical power throughout, providing clear vision for either close-up tasks or distance vision, depending on the wearer's prescription. These lenses are commonly used in everyday eyeglasses and are crafted from materials such as plastic or glass, chosen based on factors such as durability, weight, and optical clarity.

The main types of single vision lenses include spherical, aspherical, and freeform designs. Spherical lenses feature a uniform curvature across their surface, correcting typical vision issues such as nearsightedness or farsightedness. These lenses are manufactured from materials such as glass, polycarbonate, and others, catering to various age groups, including those under 18 years, 18 years and older, under 40 years, and 40 years and older. They are used to correct conditions such as hyperopia (farsightedness), myopia (nearsightedness), astigmatism, and presbyopia.
