The Middle East soft contact lenses market size was estimated at USD 391.42 Million in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 633.29 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2025 to 2033. The industry is undergoing a significant expansion, driven by a convergence of demographic shifts, evolving consumer preferences, and proactive healthcare initiatives.
A primary driver is the rising prevalence of vision disorders such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia, which is increasing the demand for corrective vision solutions. In addition, the market is heavily influenced by a strong consumer preference for cosmetic and colored lenses, which are widely viewed as fashion accessories. This trend is particularly prominent among the younger population, where rising disposable incomes and the influence of social media play a significant role in purchasing decisions, further fueling the Middle East soft contact lenses industry.
Technological innovations and new product developments are key to the market's evolution. There is a growing preference for advanced silicone hydrogel lenses due to their superior oxygen permeability, which enhances comfort and suitability for extended wear.
Regarding government initiatives and partnerships, both public and private sectors actively work to improve eye care. A notable initiative is the Noor Dubai Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides therapeutic, preventative, and educational programs to combat vision impairment in developing countries. In May 2024, Alcon inaugurated its Middle Eastern region headquarters in Jeddah and also announced a partnership with the Saudi Society of Optometry to educate optometrists and raise vision correction awareness.
