The United States eyewear market valued
around USD25 billion in the year 2020 and is expected to grow at an increasing
rate of 5.64% during the forecast period to reach USD34.78 billion by 2026. The
market of eyewear in the United States is driven by the huge demand for luxury
eyewear and increase in visual disorders. Eye disorders are caused due to increased
exposure of eyes to digital screen for long hours and some may have this
problem since childhood or is hereditary. Furthermore, direct sunlight also
causes itching in the eyes and direct exposure to UV rays is harmful to the
eyes. Thus, it is recommended by doctors to wear sunglasses. However, many
people use prescribed glasses while driving, reading a book, watching
television as it provides comfort to their eyes. However, rising disposable
income, changing taste and preferences, and evolution in fashion industry is
driving the sunglasses market in the United States.

company. In terms of product type, the United States eyewear market is further

their lens number and this practice attracts most of the consumers towards
