Many people suffer from dry eye due to prolonged hours spent watching screens and extreme weather conditions in UAE. The high amount of screen time is associated with dry eyes as watching screen for longer durations lowers consumers' blink rate, resulting in disturbance of the tear film. Dry eye can cause severe discomfort, resulting in stinging or burning eyes, and can adversely affect the inner parts of the eye, tear glands, and eyelid.

Consumers with high internet penetration and proliferation of smart gadgets, as well as higher per capita income, are able to invest in acquiring electronic products with smart displays.

Contact lenses are favored over glasses because they improve eyesight, provide reliable vision correction, and are aesthetically pleasing. Prescription contact lenses are widely available in various retail stores and shopping malls. Beauty lenses are selling extremely well in businesses that sell to specialist beauty stores. According to the report, women's preference for colored contact lenses in 2020 was 22 percent, with grey colored contact lenses taking the lead, followed by blue, green, and brow-colored contact lenses, each accounting for 17 percent of the market. Colored contact lenses are in more demand in Dubai and Abu Dhabi than in the rest of the country.

Customers go to shopping mall-based optician stores, and market players are selling contact lenses and beauty contact lenses online and giving remote consulting services. The increase in the country's youth population and working women is predicted to drive sales of functional and cosmetic contact lenses.
