This can be ascribed to the changing lifestyle patterns, especially among the youth, has increased the use of colored contact lenses more as a fashion accessory. Furthermore, the growing influence of social media has made the generation Z population increasingly adopt and use colored contact lenses on account of their aesthetic values and features. The colored contact lenses make eyes appear lighter and enhance or altogether change their color.

The laboratory aims to design and develop new materials for manufacturing contact lenses using structural controls and advanced manufacturing methods.
However, the lack of trained healthcare professionals (this includes ophthalmologists, opticians, among others) in certain countries, especially in the developing world can restrict the market growth over the next few years. Besides, there is a lot of price variation observed in terms of the contact lenses offered by branded players and non-branded companies. Every region and country across the globe have the presence of established contact lens brands and their domestic players. The contact lenses offered by the domestic players are available at lower prices or they keep on changing the prices based on the market scenario. This in turn creates a lot of disparities in pricing in terms of contact lenses offered by the branded and non-branded players, which adversely impacts the market growth.
