Market Insights

Growing Prevalence of Eye Diseases Drives Vision Care Market Growth

A wide variety of eye diseases, including cataracts, glaucoma, and refractive errors, are prevalent across the world. According to an article published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2022, ~2.2 billion people in the world have a near vision impairment or a distance vision impairment. The leading causes of vision impairment are cataracts (~94 million cases) and uncorrected refractive errors (~88.4 million cases). The other causes of vision impairment are glaucoma, corneal opacities, diabetic retinopathy, and trachoma with ~7.7 million, 4.2 million, 3.9 million, and 2 million cases, respectively. According to data provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), ~12 million people in the US, aged 40 and above, suffered from vision impairment in 2022, out of which 3 million had vision impairment after correction and 8 million suffered from vision impairment due to uncorrected refractive index. The increasing incidences of diabetes and other chronic diseases are responsible for such a high prevalence of vision impairment in the US population. According to the results of the Canadian Health Measures Survey conducted over 2016–2019, 50.4% of adults aged 40–64 and 71.6% of seniors aged 65–79 indicated they had visited an eye care professional in the past year. Moreover, per the Royal National Institute of Blind People in 2021, in the UK, ~2 million people were living with vision loss. In 2021, the count of blind or partially blind people was recorded at ~340,000 in the UK. According to the data provided by the Government of India, ~57 lakh cataract surgeries were conducted in 2021–2022, whereas ~36 lakh cataract surgeries were carried out in 2020–2021.

Further, the increasing age of populations and workforces in different countries, and the increased visual demands of modern occupations underline the impact of low vision and blindness on economies. Thus, a high prevalence of vision impairment and blindness in different parts of the world boosts the growth of the vision care market

Increasing Awareness of Vision Care Offers Ample Opportunities for Market

In recent years, various measures and efforts have been taken to create awareness and educate people regarding eye diseases, prompting patients to access suitable medications and treatments for such conditions. In 2017, the National Eye Institute (NEI) in the US initiated “Write the Vision,” a new eye health awareness program, specifically for African-American consumers. Write the Vision offers monthly resources to a large number of organizations, allowing them to promote healthy vision, and prevent vision loss and blindness in the communities they serve. Per the National Eye Health Education Program, a part of the NEI, African-Americans are more prone to eye diseases. It can further lead to loss of vision, if not treated in time. Hence, the Write the Vision program was launched to increase awareness about eye health.

Sightsavers—an international nongovernmental organization—works in developing countries to treat and prevent eye diseases. A large population in India resides in rural areas, having limited or no awareness of eye ailments. Sightsavers aims to create awareness with its Rural Eye Health Programme, provide high-quality eye health services, and eradicate avoidable blindness in the rural population. In addition, the WHO launched the Universal Health Coverage and Eye Care: Promoting Country Action, an event to provide practical, step-by-step, guidance to support Member States of the WHO in planning and implementing the recommendations of the WHO’s World report on vision. The WHO launched this event with the goal to provide integrated people-centered eye care services. Thus, the rising number of such eye health awareness programs is creating growth opportunities for the vision care market.
