These lenses automatically transition from clear to dark in sunlight, offering seamless indoor-outdoor usage and UV protection, thereby promoting long-term eye health. The market also sees a shift towards eco-friendly materials like wood and bamboo, catering to environmentally conscious consumers.

Online retail is experiencing a considerable boom due to its convenience, competitive pricing, and technological advancements like AR and VR, which allow consumers to digitally try on products.
