Published on December 3, 2025
ALEXANDRIA, Va.—The Vision Council announced it has released its Market inSights Q3 2025 report, presenting new market data and analysis that details the performance of the $17.5 billion optical industry. The report examines trends across key categories such as eye exams, eyeglasses, frames, lenses, contact lenses, readers and plano sunglasses. For the third quarter of 2025, the report revealed declines in sales volume across all prescription categories both quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year, but increased overall market value year-over-year even as unit volume decreased, which the group said is a continuation of patterns observed in earlier quarters.
