Global Glass Lens Market 2016-2020

About the Glass Lenses Market

The eye is one of the most sophisticated organs in the human body. The retina, the light-sensitive tissue inside the eye, converts light into electrical impulses, which are sent to the brain. A refractive error occurs when the light entering the eye is not focused properly on the retina, distorting the signal sent to the brain. The most common eye conditions are myopia (nearsightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness). People with myopia cannot clearly see objects in the distance and require a concave glass lens to correct their vision. As of 2015, more than one-quarter of the world population was diagnosed with myopia, and by 2020, 49% of the global population will have myopia. Hyperopia is an eye condition in which a person cannot clearly see nearby objects. Prescription lenses can be used to correct vision related issues.

Technavio’s analysts forecast the global glass lens market to grow at a CAGR of 3.55% during the period 2016-2020.
