- Toric soft contact lenses, designed specifically to correct astigmatism by compensating for the irregular curvature of the cornea, are becoming an increasingly preferred solution in the vision correction segment due to their enhanced comfort, stability, and visual acuity compared to traditional options
- The rising prevalence of astigmatism globally, growing awareness of eye health, and increasing preference for non-surgical corrective solutions are primary factors driving the demand for toric soft contact lenses
- North America dominated the toric soft contact lens market with the largest revenue share of 38.6% in 2024, supported by the region’s well-established eye care infrastructure, high prevalence of refractive errors, and strong adoption of premium and daily disposable lenses. The U.S., in particular, is witnessing a robust increase in the adoption of toric lenses due to greater access to optometrists and ophthalmologists, as well as rising consumer awareness about personalized lens solutions
- Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region in the toric soft contact lens market during the forecast period, with a projected CAGR of 17.9% from 2025 to 2032, driven by increasing urbanization, growing awareness about vision correction, and expanding middle-class population, especially in countries such as China, Japan, and India
- Highly breathable silicone hydrogel segment dominated the toric soft contact lens market with the largest revenue share of 57.4% in 2024, attributed to its superior oxygen permeability, which enhances comfort and allows for longer wearing durations. This segment is increasingly favored for its moisture retention capabilities, making it especially beneficial for individuals with dry eyes or those who spend extended periods using digital screens
