The implantable collamer lens (ICL) market is expanding steadily, driven by the rising prevalence of refractive errors and growing demand for advanced vision correction alternatives beyond traditional spectacles and contact lenses. Clinical publications and ophthalmology society reports have emphasized the effectiveness of ICLs in addressing high myopia and other complex refractive conditions where laser-based corrections may not be suitable. Increased awareness among patients about long-term visual outcomes, coupled with shorter recovery times and reversibility of the procedure, has supported adoption rates.
Investor presentations and company press releases have highlighted significant investments in product innovation, particularly lenses with advanced optical designs, smaller incision requirements, and enhanced biocompatibility. Additionally, increasing procedural volumes in emerging economies, supported by rising disposable incomes and expanding healthcare infrastructure, have broadened market access.
Regulatory approvals for next-generation ICLs and expanding clinical training programs for ophthalmologists are further accelerating adoption. Looking forward, the market is expected to benefit from technological refinements, rising surgical expertise, and growing patient preference for minimally invasive, high-precision vision correction solutions.
The Myopia segment is projected to account for 61.7% of the implantable collamer lens market revenue in 2025, establishing itself as the leading indication. This dominance has been supported by the global surge in myopia prevalence, particularly in younger populations and urbanized regions with high digital device usage. Clinical evidence has shown that ICLs provide superior correction for moderate-to-high myopia compared to conventional refractive surgeries, delivering stable outcomes without significant corneal tissue removal.
Ophthalmologists have increasingly recommended ICLs for patients unsuitable for LASIK or PRK due to thin corneas or high refractive errors. Industry updates have further pointed to product advancements, such as toric ICLs for patients with concurrent astigmatism, which have expanded clinical indications.
With lifestyle factors accelerating myopia incidence and growing patient preference for premium vision correction options, the Myopia segment is expected to sustain its leading market share.
The Hospitals segment is projected to hold 46.9% of the implantable collamer lens market revenue in 2025, retaining its leading role among end users. This segment’s growth has been supported by the availability of advanced surgical infrastructure, specialized ophthalmic surgeons, and comprehensive post-operative care facilities. Hospitals have been at the forefront of adopting new ICL technologies, facilitated by their ability to manage complex procedures and handle high patient volumes.
Press releases and clinical updates have underscored that hospitals benefit from broader access to supplier partnerships, training programs, and regulatory-compliant equipment, ensuring standardized treatment outcomes. Additionally, hospitals have gained patient trust as centers capable of delivering safe and effective surgical experiences, particularly in regions where specialized ophthalmic clinics remain limited.
The integration of ophthalmology departments within multispecialty hospitals has further enhanced access to ICL procedures, supporting the segment’s sustained leadership. As demand for refractive surgeries continues to rise, hospitals are expected to remain the primary channel for implantable collamer lens adoption.
An implantable collamer lens consists of a specially engineered biomaterial called Collamer that is biocompatible and safe. Implantable collamer lenses will remain in place for the long term, thus removing the need for glasses or contacts for long periods. From 2020 to 2025, a CAGR of 22.7% was recorded in the implantable implantable collamer lens market.
