Eyeglasses, also known as spectacles, consist of glass or plastic lenses mounted on frames. Eyeglasses are not only used for vision correction such as nearsightedness but are also used for cosmetic purposes. Corrective eyeglasses are used to correct refractive errors by properly bending the light entering the eye to reduce the effects of conditions such as farsightedness (hypermetropia), nearsightedness (myopia), or astigmatism. Eyeglasses are also used by laboratory technicians, construction workers, etc., for protection. Elderly people from the age group 65–75 wear corrective eyeglasses. Increasing incidences of refractive errors among the younger population, preference for eyeglasses over contact lens, and growing geriatric population are key factors driving the growth of the market for eyeglasses.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Vision Care Market
The rising number of COVID-19 patients led to an overall negative impact on the vision care market. Routine healthcare services were canceled, and patients were recommended to avoid hospital visits unless any medical emergency to minimize the risk of COVID-19 transmission, leading to significant disruptions in healthcare services and patient care. Ophthalmology represents one of the busiest and most heavily outpatient-oriented specialties in the UK, with ~7.5 million outpatient appointments and ~500,000 surgical procedures conducted every year. The lockdown resulted in the cancellation of thousands of ophthalmic visits and surgeries, which could potentially lead to permanent and significant harm to patients’ vision. The recent survey the “Psychosocial impact of COVID-19 pandemic lockdown on people living with eye diseases in the UK,” which was conducted among the public with eye diseases, highlighted a noteworthy negative psychosocial impact of lockdown on patients with visual impairment. ~50% of these patients expressed the fear of sight loss due to delayed review or treatment.
