The demand for scleral lenses in the Philippines is rising due to increased awareness of specialty contact lenses for vision correction. Patients with keratoconus, dry eyes, and irregular corneas are turning to scleral lenses for improved comfort and clarity. The growing number of eye care clinics and advancements in lens materials are further boosting market growth. However, high costs and the need for professional fitting services limit broader adoption.
The scleral lens market in the Philippines is witnessing steady growth as awareness of specialized vision correction increases. These lenses are primarily used for patients with irregular corneas and dry eye conditions. Advances in lens materials and customization options are enhancing patient comfort and adoption rates. However, high costs and limited availability of trained optometrists may restrict market expansion.
The scleral lens market in the Philippines faces challenges due to low awareness about the benefits of these specialty contact lenses. The high cost of custom-fit scleral lenses makes them inaccessible to a large portion of the population. Additionally, the need for specialized eye care professionals to fit and prescribe these lenses limits availability. Insurance coverage for vision correction procedures is also limited, making affordability a key barrier.
Scleral lenses are gaining popularity in the Philippines due to their effectiveness in treating corneal disorders and dry eye syndrome. Opportunities exist in specialty contact lens manufacturing, distribution partnerships with ophthalmologists, and innovations in lens materials to enhance patient comfort.
The Department of Health (DOH) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulate the sale and distribution of scleral lenses to ensure they meet health and safety standards. Optometrists and ophthalmologists must be licensed by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) to prescribe and fit these lenses. Importation of scleral lenses is subject to strict customs regulations, and local manufacturers receive incentives to develop high-quality optical products.
