A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 621320-01 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The history of the Contact Lenses-Optometrists industry dates back to the late 19th century when the first contact lenses were invented. In 1887, German glassblower F.E. Muller created the first contact lens made of glass. In 1936, William Feinbloom, an optometrist, developed the first plastic contact lens. The industry continued to grow, and in the 1970s, the first soft contact lenses were introduced. In recent history, the industry has seen significant advancements in technology, such as the development of silicone hydrogel lenses, which allow for more oxygen to reach the eye. Additionally, the industry has seen an increase in the popularity of daily disposable contact lenses, which offer convenience and hygiene benefits. In the United States, the Contact Lenses-Optometrists industry has a more recent history. In the 1970s, the industry was dominated by a few large manufacturers, but in the 1980s, smaller companies began to emerge, leading to increased competition. The industry continued to grow, and in the 1990s, the introduction of disposable contact lenses led to a significant increase in sales. In the early 2000s, the industry saw a shift towards online sales, with many consumers opting to purchase their contact lenses through e-commerce websites. Today, the industry continues to evolve, with advancements in technology and changes in consumer behavior shaping its future.
