A report published by the Association of Contact Lens Manufacturers (ACLM) states that the number of contact lens wearers in the UK and Ireland has increased by more than twofold over the last twelve years, reaching X million people in 2014.
Approximately X million people use daily disposables and X million people use frequent replacement contact lenses. The number of lens wearers was obtained by the ACLM, based on the number of contact lenses sold, coupled with estimated wearing schedules.

In all, more than X million contact lenses were purchased, the most popular selling category being daily disposables with an approximately X% share; soft frequent replacement lenses held a X% share.
