Daily disposable contact lenses fueled ABB Optical Group sales in 2016 which was a strong year for contact lens growth, according to a press release from the company.
Daily disposable growth increased nearly 23% and represented 76% of all growth in the category for 2016.
Multifocals posted an increase of nearly 17% which was dominated by daily disposable multifocals at more than 69% due to recent introductions from all four major manufacturers in this area.
The toric market grew by 11% and was driven mainly by daily disposable torics which were up over 36%, according to the release.
Reusable contact lenses saw a slight decline of 0.4%, but may rebound with recent monthly lens introductions of sphericals, torics and multifocals, the company stated in the release.
The group also reported nearly 8% in organic contact lens growth from practices that have chosen to partner with the company.
