2013-03-10 05:08:12 - Recently published research from Euromonitor International, "Contact Lenses in Japan", is now available at Fast Market Research

After two major setbacks - the global credit crunch and the March 2011 earthquake, the Japanese contact lenses market has slowly shifted away from the negative growth territory in 2012, helped by a visible recovery in daily disposable lenses. The earthquake heavily affected sales of daily disposable lenses in 2011 - a 2% drop in value terms - as consumers tended to use spectacles more during this period.
