A new infographic from Contact Lens Institute™ (CLI) illustrates that while contact lenses are used by millions of people worldwide, aspects of how they are evaluated, purchased and worn may differ by country and continent.
This synopsis precedes the publication of CLI’s forthcoming See Tomorrow initiative report surrounding consumer digital search behaviors, which is expected to be issued in mid-June.
“Later this week, the BCLA Clinical Conference will draw contact lens experts from around the world to Birmingham, England. There was no better time to share this data, which may spark conversations about how consumers view different components of wear, and why those might vary based on geography,” said Stan Rogaski, CLI’s executive director.
Built on 12 months of contact lens posts on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the infographic looks at topics including interest in advanced and basic technologies, cosmetic lenses, access, sustainability, cost and modality. The illustration, along with other preliminary data from the digital search series, is available here.
A comprehensive, 30-page report packed with new consumer research, data tables and graphics and columns from CLI Visionary optometrists and opticians is slated for distribution ahead of Optometry’s Meeting and the 5th World Congress of Optometry.
