Eye care in Chile records a moderate recovery in 2026, returning to growth as digital eye strain drives a shift from reactive treatment to preventive management. Increasing screen exposure across work, education and leisure is encouraging more routine use of artificial tears and standard eye care products, with consumers increasingly incorporating eye health into daily habits rather than treating symptoms only when discomfort occurs. Laboratorios Alcon Chile Ltda remains the leading player despite losing share over the review period, while Laboratorios Andrómaco SA and Laboratorios Saval SA continue to narrow the gap. Pharmacies remains the dominant channel, although digital purchasing is becoming more relevant as eye care products are increasingly incorporated into routine wellness habits. Looking ahead, preventive eye care is expected to become more deeply embedded in everyday screen use. Premium and specialised solutions, alongside greater adoption of digital health tools, are set to support sustained demand and strengthen long-term engagement with visual wellbeing.
