Global Specialty Lens Market Drives Record Year for Boston Materials

Boston^® materials had a record-setting year in 2022, boosted by a 33% jump in sales of their gas permeable (GP) contact lens material Boston XO2^®. The company attributes this growth to the increasing demand for specialty contact lenses worldwide, particularly in orthokeratology. Boston XO^® is also gaining popularity in Europe and Asia for its use in orthokeratology (ortho-k), the use of specially fitted contact lenses during sleep to temporarily reshape the cornea. Ortho-k is projected to increase significantly over the next several years, particularly in Europe.   Myopia is also anticipated to become more prevalent among the general population due to increased exposure to digital screens after the COVID-19 pandemic. Boston^® Materials are manufactured with precision by highly skilled technicians. Each products must undergo rigorous quality control, resulting in the introduction of innovative gas permeable lens materials and lens care products throughout the company’s history.
