The following highlights critical concerns and opportunities within the Indian optical industry as we enter the year 2025, emphasizing the need for unified representation from all the States in India and uniform quality standards. Key points to consider as follows:

1. Unified Federation:

• Proposes forming a nationwide Federation encompassing manufacturers, importers, distributors, and opticians.

• The aim is to create a single, strong voice to address industry challenges and influence government policymaking.

2. Optician Categorization:

• Suggests defining categories like Ophthalmic Opticians and Dispensing Opticians, like other countries.

3. Quality Standards:

• Emphasizes the importance of minimum quality standards to prevent substandard products from entering the Indian market including off the shelf products like readers.

• Propose establishing an independent quality control lab under the Federation to ensure global quality compliance and in line with the Regulatory Body Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) that governs frame and lens quality.

4. Balancing Affordability and Quality:

• Advocates for affordable eyewear for underserved populations without compromising product quality.

This calls for collaboration among stakeholders to ensure industry growth while maintaining ethical and professional standards. Strengthening enforcement by the industry stake holders and increasing public awareness are essential to improving safety and reliability in India’s optical market and thereby facilitate and become a global manufacturing hub for the optical products in the coming decade.

Time for all of us to come together and participate in building a profitable and sustainable business across all stakeholders keeping in mind the interest of the final consumers.
