According to FutureWise analysis the orthokeratology contact lens market in 2025 is US$ 791.4 million, and is expected to reach US$ 1342.8 million by 2033 at a CAGR of 6.83%. The expansion of the vision correction market is primarily influenced by the increasing rates of myopia, particularly in children and young adults. This trend is complemented by a greater acceptance of non-surgical methods for vision correction. Furthermore, advancements in lens design and materials, coupled with heightened awareness of the effectiveness of orthokeratology in controlling myopia, are significantly contributing to the growth of this market.
Orthokeratology contact lenses, often referred to as Ortho-K, OK, corneal reshaping, corneal refractive therapy, or vision shaping treatment, represent an innovative approach for correcting refractive errors. This technique utilizes custom-designed rigid lenses to temporarily modify the curvature of the cornea.
Modern advances in Ortho-K technology feature breathable rigid lens materials and reverse geometry designs, which contribute to faster and more effective corneal reshaping. Unlike traditional Ortho-K designs that employ a series of progressively flattening concentric curves surrounding a central base curve aligned with the central cornea, contemporary reverse geometry designs for myopia correction are distinguished by a central base curve that is significantly flatter compared to the central corneal curvature. These designs include one or more surrounding steeper secondary or “reverse” curves, facilitating a smooth transition from the flat-fitting base curve to the alignment-fitting landing curve. Currently, the primary clinical use of Ortho-K is focused on reducing myopia through corneal flattening.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), refractive errors and visual impairments affect over 200 million individuals globally. These visual challenges have a significant impact on personal well-being and have created a substantial demand for effective treatment options. The rising prevalence of refractive errors in the general population has further fueled interest in Orthokeratology techniques.
Moreover, advancements in technical expertise have lowered the risk of complications such as microbial keratitis and enhanced the overall efficiency of the treatment process. Research has shown that Orthokeratology is more effective than traditional methods in controlling the progression of myopia. Additionally, an increase in per capita healthcare expenditures has led to a higher adoption rate of Orthokeratology procedures, driving robust market growth. Support from government policies and reimbursement programs has also contributed to significant growth in this sector during the forecast period.
Materials & Lens Design Innovations: New lens materials with improved oxygen permeability (Dk) aim to minimize risks of hypoxia during overnight wear, with some designs targeting Dk values exceeding 100.
Comfort & Wearability Enhancements: Coatings and surface treatments to enhance wettability, reduce dryness, decrease bacterial adhesion, and increase comfort, especially overnight.
