Non-Medical Grade Ophthalmic Device Market Report 2026

The non-medical grade ophthalmic device market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.96 billion in 2025 to $2.17 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising screen time among consumers, growing awareness of eye health and wellness, expansion of consumer electronics market, increasing availability of affordable eye care products, growth in online retail distribution channels.

The non-medical grade ophthalmic device market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.31 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of wearable eye care devices, rising demand for preventive eye care solutions, growth in remote vision monitoring tools, expansion of smart eyewear applications, increasing consumer focus on digital wellness. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for blue light filtering eyewear, rising adoption of eye relaxation and massaging devices, growing consumer awareness of digital eye strain, expansion of portable vision screening tools for personal use, increasing popularity of non-prescription smart eyewear.

The increasing screen time exposure is anticipated to propel the growth of the non-medical grade ophthalmic device market coming years. Screen time exposure refers to the total duration an individual spends viewing or interacting with digital screens such as smartphones, computers, tablets, or televisions over a given period. The widespread adoption of smartphones is driving the rise in screen time exposure, as their constant accessibility for communication, entertainment, and work leads individuals to engage with digital screens more frequently throughout the day. Higher screen time exposure leads to digital eye strain, thereby driving demand for non-medical ophthalmic devices such as blue light filtering glasses and eye comfort tools that help reduce visual fatigue and dryness. For instance, in October 2024, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US-based government agency, half of adolescents aged 12-17 spent at least four hours per day on screens as of December 2023, while 22.8% averaged three hours, 17.8% two hours, and 6.1% one hour. Therefore, the increasing screen time exposure is driving the growth of the non-medical grade ophthalmic device market.

Leading companies operating in the non-medical grade ophthalmic device market are focusing on the development of advanced solutions, such as AI-powered smart glasses, in order to enhance real-time visual assistance, connectivity, and immersive user experiences. AI-powered smart glasses refer to wearable eyewear devices integrated with artificial intelligence, cameras, sensors, and audio systems that enable hands-free interaction, real-time information processing, and augmented reality-based functionalities, aligning with the evolving consumer demand for multifunctional vision-enhancing devices in the non-medical grade ophthalmic device market. For example, in September 2023, EssilorLuxottica, a France-based eyewear and optical technology company, in collaboration with Meta Platforms Inc., a US-based technology company, launched the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. The product features an upgraded 12 MP ultra-wide camera for high-quality photo and video capture, open-ear speakers for immersive audio while maintaining situational awareness, and integrated AI capabilities that enable voice commands and real-time content interaction, significantly improving user convenience and digital engagement.

In January 2024, Gentex Corporation, a US-based provider of electro-optical products, acquired eSight for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Gentex aims to broaden its capabilities in vision-enhancement technologies by developing next-generation mobile electronic eyewear designed to support individuals with visual impairments and reinforce its position in advanced optical and wearable device markets. eSight is a Canada-based provider of wearable assistive electronic eyewear that utilizes high-definition cameras, proprietary algorithms, and display systems to enhance vision for individuals with various ocular disorders.
