Customer preferences:
Customers in Nigeria are becoming more conscious about their eye health and are seeking professional eye care services. With the increasing prevalence of eye-related problems such as myopia, astigmatism, and cataracts, there is a growing demand for vision correction solutions. Additionally, the rising awareness about the importance of regular eye check-ups and the availability of advanced diagnostic and treatment options are driving customers to opt for eye care services.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Eye Care market in Nigeria is the increasing adoption of contact lenses. Contact lenses offer convenience and flexibility compared to traditional eyeglasses, especially for individuals with active lifestyles. Moreover, technological advancements have led to the development of more comfortable and breathable contact lens materials, further boosting their popularity among customers.Another trend in the market is the growing demand for specialized eye care services. As the population ages, the prevalence of age-related eye conditions such as glaucoma and macular degeneration is increasing. This has created a need for specialized treatments and surgeries to address these conditions. Ophthalmologists and eye care clinics are expanding their services to cater to these specific needs, providing a wide range of treatments and surgeries to improve vision and eye health.

Local special circumstances:
Nigeria has a large population, and the majority of the population resides in urban areas. This concentration of population in urban areas has led to the establishment of numerous eye care clinics and optical shops, making eye care services easily accessible to the population. Additionally, the government has taken initiatives to improve access to eye care services in rural areas through mobile eye care units and outreach programs.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The Nigerian economy has been experiencing steady economic growth in recent years, leading to an increase in disposable income among the population. This rise in income levels has enabled more individuals to afford eye care services and products. Furthermore, the increasing urbanization and changing lifestyle patterns have contributed to the growth of the Eye Care market in Nigeria.In conclusion, the Eye Care market in Nigeria is witnessing growth and development due to increasing customer preferences for professional eye care services, the adoption of contact lenses, and the demand for specialized eye care treatments.
