Therapeutic lenses are used to manage a wide variety of corneal conditions including corneal erosions, corneal epithelial defects, bullous keratopathy, and postsurgical disorders such as post-laser vision correction and post-keratoplasty. Increasing application of therapeutic contact lenses in the treatment of eye disorders is anticipated to foster the overall market growth. 

The effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the mitigation measures, may continue to have a material adverse impact on the market. In initial 2020, almost every major market began to implement business shutdowns, including clinics of eye care professionals, and the delay of non-urgent surgical ophthalmic procedures, leading to a global economic stoppage. Such activities have caused disruptions to the operations, supply chain, facilities, and associate workforce, hindering the supply chain of medical devices including therapeutic contact lenses.
