History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 423460-01 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The history of contact lenses dates back to the 16th century when Leonardo da Vinci first sketched the concept of contact lenses. However, it was not until the late 19th century that the first contact lens was manufactured. The first contact lenses were made of glass and were heavy and uncomfortable to wear. In the 1930s, plastic contact lenses were introduced, which were more comfortable and lighter. In the 1970s, soft contact lenses were developed, which were more comfortable and allowed more oxygen to reach the eye. In recent years, contact lenses have become more advanced, with the introduction of disposable lenses, colored lenses, and lenses that correct astigmatism and presbyopia. In the United States, the contact lens industry has seen significant growth in recent years. According to the Vision Council of America, the contact lens market in the United States was valued at $3.2 billion in 2019. The growth of the industry can be attributed to several factors, including an increase in the number of people wearing contact lenses, advancements in technology, and an increase in disposable income. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in demand for contact lenses as people look for alternatives to glasses, which can fog up when wearing a mask.
