Contact Lens Institute Releases Profitability Report on Contact Lens Patients

The Contact Lens Institute (CLI) released "Profitability Perspectives: Rethinking the Value of Contact Lenses," a report based on the first U.S. analysis of contact lens profitability. The study, conducted by independent researchers including Professors Philip Morgan and Lyndon Jones, analyzed data from 20 U.S. optometry offices between November 2025 and May 2026. It found that contact lens patients generate 29% to 86% higher annual profits compared to eyeglasses-only patients. The report includes financial assessment tools, implementation plans, and retrospective insights from prior CLI research. CLI will present findings at the American Academy of Optometry 2026 Annual Meeting in Anaheim, California, from September 30 to October 3. A YouTube series and full report are available online.
