Globally in the elderly population, glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness one of these, necessitating eye surgery. As the global population ages, the use of lenses for cataract surgery and by extension contact lenses has risen.

Techniques such as phacoemulsification, which use smaller incisions and faster healing times, are becoming increasingly popular. This intraocular lens market trend makes cataract surgery more attractive to patients due to reduced risk of complications and shorter postoperative recovery time. Modern techniques are preferred because they promise faster healing, less discomfort and fewer scars there will be, helping to create a positive outlook for the market.

Advanced, high-quality health care benefit from patient expertise, as well as a strong billing system, which allows IOL systems to have several key players. North America's focus on innovation is also reflected in higher R&D spending, contributing to the development of next-generation IOLs that improve vision, provide more functionality, and meet specific conditions.
