        e-commerce, clinics, and hospitals. The retail store is the largest
        segment of the US vision care market owing to, rapidly expanding retail

        rising use of eye care products as fashion accessories, and added
        benefits associated with retail stores in terms of personalized

        customer reviews and ratings for eye care products.

Market Dynamics:

    --  Growth Drivers: Increasing electronic devices and media usage time is a
        prominent growth driver of the US vision care market. Increasing visual
        demand of modern occupation, ongoing digitalization of educational
        systems, exponential growth of digital gadgets, and proliferation of
        mobile applications, social media platforms and digital entertainment
        options, are associated with reduced blink rate, increased risk of
        myopia development and rising number of people experiencing eye related
        problems such as asthenopia, computer vision syndrome (CVS), retinal
        degeneration, etc., resulting in eye fatigue, dryness, blurred vision,
        and itching, burning, and a gritty sensation. For instance, according to
        the Vision Council, at least 60% of American men and 65% of American
        women reported symptoms of CVS due to increasing use digital devices.
        Therefore, increasing electronic devices and media usage time will
        continue create a positive demand for vision care products and services.
        Further, the US vision care market has been rapidly growing over the
        past few years, due to factors such as growing geriatric population,
        expanding retail e-commerce, increasing incidence of chronic diseases,
        supportive government policies, growing incidence of vision impairment
        disorders, etc.
    --  Challenges: However, the market growth would be negatively impacted by
        various challenges such as increase in the cases of eye infection due to
        contact lenses, rising constraints on business practices, presence of
        counterfeit products, etc. The most common problem associated with
        contact lenses is dry eye syndrome as reduced tear film stability and
        increased evaporation due to lens wear can cause dryness, irritation,
        and discomfort. Also, lack of awareness and improper handling & poor
        hygiene practices when using contact lenses can cause irritation,
        increasing risk of eye infections such as bacterial keratitis and fungal
        keratitis, and rise in likelihood of developing different forms of eye
        allergies, leading to discomfort, vision impairment, and potential
        long-term consequences to overall eyes. Therefore, increasing number of
        cases of eye infections is expected to negatively impact the demand for
        contact lenses in the country, impending the growth of the US vision
        care market.
    --  Trends: The market is projected to grow at a fast pace during the
        forecasted period, due to various latest trends such as integration of
        artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), ongoing
        advancements in vision care, growing awareness of UV rays related visual
        impairment, increasing number of innovations and product launches in the
        market, growing preference for daily disposable contact lenses
        (single-use), shifting focus from eye care to lifelong personal vision
        care, etc. Prolonged exposure to UV radiation, particularly UV-B and
        UV-C rays can increase the risk of developing a number of eye diseases &
        conditions, such as cataracts, macular degeneration, pterygium, and
        photokeratitis etc., leading to vision impairment and in severe cases,
        even blindness. UV rays exposure can also lead to premature aging of the
        eyes, increased damage to the cornea and conjunctiva, and greater
        susceptibility to glare, which can cause visual discomfort, enhanced
        difficulty in seeing objects clearly, and reduced visual performance in
        certain activities. Therefore, growing awareness of UV rays related
        visual impairment has been positively to the growth of the US vision
        care market over the forecasted period of 2023-2028.
