Although consumers can wear spectacles for a longer period, some will continue to buy contact lenses as a lifestyle choice. Many South Africans might find wearing a pair of spectacles cumbersome, and therefore some consumers prefer contact lenses for ease, or for aesthetic reasons.
Although many South African consumers are struggling financially, some are carefully considering how best to manage their budgets to ensure that they obtain the best value for money. The regular ordering of contact lenses (DD and FRP) is a considerable expense, especially when these products are discarded after use, encouraging mid-income consumers to save money towards permanent eye correction surgery, such as LASIK.
During the pandemic, e-commerce gained popularity among local consumers who wanted to purchase monthly contact lenses when they were unable to physically visit optical goods stores. However, post-pandemic, many South Africans are continuing to move online to find the most competitive pricing on various brands compared to offers from their regular optical goods store.
