South Korea prescription lens market is expected to grow at a healthy rate over the forecast period. Increasing incidence of myopia and high myopia in Korean adult population is a major factor expected to drive growth.

According to the BMC Ophthalmology, the prevalence of myopia and high myopia in Korean children was 65.4% and 6.9%, respectively, in 2016. Since the prevalence is higher in younger population, which is uncomfortable in wearing spectacles, and the disposable income is increasing, the demand for management methods, such as single vision, trifocal lenses, progressive lenses, and others is expected to rise.

Thus, the growing prevalence of refractive errors in the younger generation is expected to be a major market growth driver.
