Eyewear world is booming due to screen work and aging population

With the increasing reliance on digital devices in both professional and personal settings, we are seeing an exponential growth in demand for eyewear that protects the eyes from the harmful effects of prolonged screen use. The importance of protection is increasingly recognized in workplaces, and computer glasses, or screen glasses, are gradually becoming a standard item in the work environment. These glasses are specifically adapted to the distance between the user and the computer screen, providing not only visual correction but also protection from blue light that can cause fatigue and sleep disturbances.

The eyewear industry is experiencing unprecedented growth thanks to the increase in screen work and the aging population

The demand for eyewear is further fueled by the aging population. Many older people experience deteriorating vision and other eye-related problems, which are exacerbated by prolonged exposure to digital screens. This has led to a growing need for display glasses that provide both correction for vision problems and protection from blue light. With the number of elderly people expected to continue to rise until at least 2050, the demand for display glasses is only likely to increase.

As people age, the need for glasses increases because the lens of the eye hardens and the muscles that help the lens focus have to work harder. This makes sharp vision possible, but is tiring at the same time. Vision problems often begin around age 44, so most people need reading glasses from that age. Computer glasses become a necessity soon after that because the distance to the screen is the shortest after reading glasses.

Spectacle prescription glasses are designed to provide the appropriate correction for vision problems, while also providing protection from harmful blue light. These glasses are tailored to the individual needs of the wearer, taking into account factors such as distance from the screen and specific viewing habits.

As the aging population increases, the demand for prescription screen glasses is only expected to grow. The role of these glasses is becoming more prominent, allowing people of all ages to enjoy clear vision and reduce eye fatigue during prolonged use of digital devices.
