Market Likely to be Driven by the Need to Manage Problems Such as Presbyopia

It is reported that nearly 28 million Americans wear over-the-counter reading glasses. While reading glasses are available in over-the-counter as well as prescription forms, and often used by people who have not earlier needed eyeglasses. In most people, presbyopia begins to show its effect as they near 40 to 50 years of age. Presbyopia is an age-related condition that prevents natural lenses from focusing up close. People affected by presbyopia may experience significant problems, and reading can become a challenging activity. Individuals with presbyopia may experience eye strain, headaches, and blurred vision, and might have to hold the device or book farther away to clearly see. The solution to the problem may require reading glasses, and such need is likely to drive the United States reading glasses market

College students are more likely to become myopic and require reading glasses. Reading glasses offer a simple and practical solution to steady college myopia. Correcting people’s vision through eyeglasses promotes socioeconomic development. For example, correcting vision in children has been shown to lead to improved test scores enhanced academic performance. Correcting vision in adults leads to faster economic return through enhanced productivity. Vision correction in adults enables them to stay in the workforce for a longer duration. 

It is reported that drivers having poor vision (correctable through glasses) are significantly more likely to be involved in road accidents. Clear vision is important to the maximization of use of application-based technology tools becoming more accessible with increased penetration of affordable smartphones in less developed nations. Such need is expected to boost the United States reading glasses market.

Reading glasses are generally non-prescription lenses that magnify the text on the device or page, making it easier to read; larger words help eyes focus quickly on the text. This decreases eye strain, making reading more comfortable. Modern alternatives like Varilux progressive lenses can be worn all the time without having to take the glasses off, switch them, or look over the top of the glasses.
