Career Track | The Vision Industry

As we approach the dawn of the new nine-year cycle in January 2026, a concerning trend begins to emerge: the prevalence of eye problems escalates to alarming levels. From the final quarter of 2025 onward, vision centers will become bustling hubs, overwhelmed by a surge of new patients seeking urgent eye care.

The demand is expected to push service rates and fees to soar dramatically, reflecting the urgent need for attention to these increasingly severe visual impairments.

In today's fast-paced world, individuals find themselves glued to their mobile phones and office computers for countless hours. This continuous screen time has led to a noticeable surge in vision problems, stemming from the relentless strain on the eyes. As people navigate their digital lives, they also face the looming risk of accidents that can harm their precious eyesight.

Moreover, the specter of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, and glaucoma casts a shadow over eye health, reminding us of the importance of safeguarding our vision in an increasingly screen-dominated society.

The already popular eyeglasses are even more in fashion and demand!

In good times, optometrists, ophthalmologists, and opticians—who fill the prescriptions given by eye doctors will experience rapid economic growth. LASIK surgery, cataract surgery, medication for eye infections, and contact lenses will also experience years of prosperity! In fact, please take it to the bank: 2026 and 2033 are highly profitable for the vision industry.

High schoolers who plan to go to college have ample time to cash in on the approaching cycle of prosperity! The high school track takes 3.5 to 5 years to become an Optometrist, while the graduate degree program takes 7 years to complete.
