Hello Apuong,

According to the National Review of Medicine, over three million
Canadians wear contact lenses.

National Review of Medicine 
NOVEMBER 30, 2004  
VOLUME 1 N0. 22 
http://www.nationalreviewofmedicine.com/issue/2004/11_30/feature10_22.html


?More than three million Canadians wear contact lenses?
CIBA Vision News Release Sept. 2004
http://www.capitalc.net/pr/media/ciba/CIBA_O2Optix.pdf


According to the CIA World Factbook, the population of Canada was
32,507,874 (July 2004 est.)
http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ca.html#People

Using the above numbers, I calculated that there is a 10.8% contact
lens penetration in Canada.


Search criteria:

"million canadians *? contact lens
contact lens users +Canada

I hope this is helpful

Best regards,
Bobbie7
