SWOT Analysis
Strength: Orthokeratology allows the temporary reshaping of the cornea to correct vision without glasses or contact lenses. It is considered a safer alternative compared to LASIK and PRK surgeries as it is non-invasive and does not require any cutting or reshaping of the cornea. The results are also immediately noticeable after wearing the corneal reshaping lenses overnight. Many patients also prefer it due to its reversibility as vision returns to its original state once the contact lenses are removed.

Weakness: Orthokeratology requires strict wearing and removal schedules of the contact lenses which may not suit patients who do not want the responsibility of overnight wear. The contact lenses also need to be replaced periodically which increases the recurring treatment costs. There is a higher risk of infections with overnight lens wear compared to daily disposable lenses.

Opportunity: With growing awareness about the benefits of orthokeratology such as immediate results and reversibility, its demand is increasing globally. Several new technological advancements are enabling the development of advanced orthokeratology lenses with improved comfort, handling, and stability. The market also has opportunity to expand in developing regions of Asia Pacific and Latin America where prevalence of myopia and demand for vision correction is on the rise.

Threats: Presence of alternatives like LASIK and spectacle lenses restrict the growth potential of the orthokeratology market. Safety issues related to overnight wear of lenses and risks of infections also raise concerns. Strict regulations surrounding overnight contact lens wear can hamper market growth.
