The Vision Council Releases Consumer inSights Q3 2022 Report

Alexandria, VA – Dec. 6, 2022 – The Vision Council has released the Consumer inSights Q3 2022 Report. The latest report to be released from The Vision Council’s new inSights Research Program, it includes a summary of an ongoing consumer survey about vision correction, eye exams, eyeglasses, contact lenses, readers, and plano sunglasses. The survey was fielded to 15,122 respondents in Q3 and the data is representative of the general U.S. adult population.

The report is available to members of The Vision Council as a complimentary download and to non-members as a paid report and can be accessed through The Vision Council’s Research Download Center. The report is available in PDF format and as a PowerPoint slide presentation.

“According to the Q3 data, the demand for eyewear and eyecare appears to have held fairly steady throughout 2022 so far,” said Alysse Henkel, The Vision Council’s Senior Director, Market Research & Analytics. “During the summer months of Q3, we saw an increased usage of plano sunglasses, with more respondents buying sunglasses and more respondents saying that they had a pair of sunglasses they wore regularly.”

The Consumer inSights reports do not contain market size estimates. The Vision Council will release a new report, Market inSights, in December 2022 that will include market estimates and forecasts for key product categories. The Market inSights reports will be informed by this consumer survey as well as additional data sources used in the updated methodology.
