Global Soft Multifocal Lenses for Myopia Management Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Soft Multifocal Lenses for Myopia Management market size is predicted to grow from US$ 158 million in 2025 to US$ 331 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.6% from 2026 to 2032.

Soft Multifocal Lenses for Myopia Management refer to functional soft corneal contact lenses used for myopia management in children and adolescents. Through dual-focus, multifocal, concentric ring, extended depth of focus, peripheral defocus, or similar optical designs, these lenses correct distance vision during daytime wear while regulating peripheral or para-central retinal image formation, allowing part of the incoming light to form myopic defocus signals. This helps slow axial elongation and continuous myopia progression. Compared with ordinary soft contact lenses, these products place greater emphasis not only on daily visual clarity and wearing comfort, but also on myopia control efficacy, material oxygen permeability, care convenience, wearing compliance, and regular follow-up management after fitting. Representative products include CooperVision MiSight 1 day, Visioneering Technologies NaturalVue, Mark’ennovy MYLO, and SEED 1dayPure EDOF/Multistage. In 2025, global production of Soft Multifocal Lenses for Myopia Management reached approximately 117 million pairs, with an average selling price of about US$ 1.38 per pair.

Soft Multifocal Lenses for Myopia Management are an important sub-category within soft myopia control contact lenses, mainly serving the need for myopia progression control in children and adolescents. These products are usually worn during the day and use dual-focus, multifocal, extended depth of focus, or peripheral defocus designs to correct distance vision while optically intervening in retinal image formation. Compared with orthokeratology lenses, soft multifocal lenses do not reshape the cornea overnight and provide a wearing experience closer to ordinary soft contact lenses. Compared with ordinary soft lenses, their core value lies in long-term participation in axial elongation control and myopia management.

From the demand side, the industry is mainly driven by the rising prevalence of myopia among children and adolescents, the earlier onset of myopia, stronger parental awareness of high-myopia risks, and the promotion of myopia management solutions by ophthalmic hospitals and optometry centers. Children aged 8–12 are usually the core group for initial myopia management and clinical validation, while teenagers aged 13–18 mainly represent continuing wearers, late starters, or users whose myopia is still progressing. Since soft multifocal lenses directly contact the cornea, terminal demand is not determined only by product price, but also by fitting qualifications, doctor recommendations, follow-up systems, parental supervision, and user care compliance.

In terms of product classification, these products are more suitably classified by optical design mechanism, including dual-focus soft contact lenses, extended depth of focus soft contact lenses, and other multifocal soft contact lenses. Dual-focus products usually combine a distance correction zone with myopia control functional zones to generate myopic defocus signals. Extended depth of focus products expand the effective imaging range through continuous focal depth or special optical structures while supporting myopia management. Other multifocal soft lenses include pupil-optimized, multi-zone multifocal, regional, or customized products. Terms such as daily disposable and monthly replacement refer to replacement cycles or product attributes and are not recommended as the core classification for this topic.

From the industrial chain and manufacturing perspective, upstream segments mainly include silicone hydrogel materials, hydrogel materials, monomers, molds, optical design software, injection molding equipment, sterilized packaging materials, and testing instruments. The midstream covers optical design, mold development, molding, hydration treatment, surface treatment, sterilization, quality inspection, and branded packaging. Downstream channels mainly include ophthalmic hospitals, optometry centers, professional contact lens fitting institutions, optical retail chains, and some O2O follow-up and repurchase channels. A mature automated soft contact lens production line can usually achieve annual single-line capacity from several million pairs to more than ten million pairs. However, multifocal myopia management products require stronger capabilities in optical design replication, mold consistency, cleanroom production, sterilized packaging, and batch quality control, so actual effective capacity is affected by yield rate, SKU quantity, line changeover frequency, and registration requirements in different markets.

In terms of profitability and competitive landscape, Soft Multifocal Lenses for Myopia Management usually have higher gross margins than ordinary corrective soft contact lenses, but lower margins than highly customized or more medical-service-oriented orthokeratology lenses. Companies with strong brands, patented optical designs, clinical validation, and terminal education capabilities can usually achieve product gross margins of around 45% to 65%. Basic OEM or processing segments generally have gross margins of around 25% to 40%, while the industry average gross margin is roughly in the range of 40% to 55%. Future competition will focus on clinical evidence, suitability for children, wearing comfort, daily disposable convenience, channel fitting capability, repurchase rate, and axial length follow-up data management.
