The global Surgical Safety Glasses Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1.27 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.7% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Surgical safety glasses provides eye protection from blood splash, chemicals and laser lights during surgical procedures. These glasses protect eyes from harmful lights emitted during surgeries and maintain clear vision.
Market key trends:
One of the key trend gaining traction in the surgical safety glasses market size is the increasing adoption of specialist prescription and non-prescription surgical safety eyewear. Specialist prescription surgical safety eyewear provides the option of wearing prescription glasses during surgery without compromising safety standards. They are optically correct and Rx-corrected for surgeons requiring vision correction. In addition, they provide full protective coverage and side protection equivalent to standard safety eyewear. This growth in prescription surgical safety glasses is being driven by increasing awareness about risks to eyes during surgery and adoption of international safety standards.
