Ophthalmology comprises the diagnosis and treatment of eye-related medical conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, corneal conditions, cataracts, genetic eye conditions, optic nerve problems, double vision, abnormal eye movements, and vision loss. Increasing prevalence of these diseases is a key factor driving the demand for ophthalmologic devices. For instance, according to data published by the World Health Organization in 2021, around 2.2 billion people across the globe suffers from distant or near vision impairment. Moreover, emphasis on regular eye check-ups, as a part of preventive care, is also contributing to the market growth. In addition, extensive growth in risk factors associated with the eye conditions such as bulging eyes, blocked or double vision, excessive tearing, eyelid abnormalities, misaligned eyes, and peripheral vision loss are driving the growth of the market for ophthalmology drugs.
