Corneal Ulcer Treatment Market Trends



  • Increase in contact lens usage is driving the market growth


Market CAGR for corneal ulcer treatment is being driven by increase in contact lens usage. An open lesion on the cornea is called a corneal ulcer. The cornea covers the eye's pupil and iris. Another name for it is keratitis. Corneal ulcers can impair eyesight and leave lasting scars if they are not treated. Surgical procedures are typically used to replace the damaged cornea with a healthy donor cornea in order to address this problem. Ulcers are treated with further medicine after the infection goes away.


Additionally, the variables that will propel the corneal ulcer treatment industry forward are increasing government financing and public and private organizations' efforts to raise awareness. Further elements that would favorably affect the growth rate of the corneal ulcer treatment market include rising healthcare spending and technological advancements. Furthermore, a growing market for corneal ulcer treatments would be brought about by rising disposable income and changing lifestyles. The growing elderly population will increase the risk of pulpitis and drive up demand for treatments.


Further driving new prospects for the market's growth rate will be the expansion of research and development efforts as well as favorable reimbursement policies in developed regions. Exposure to chemicals that might cause ulcers and the increasing use of contact lenses are two other important factors impacting the growth rate of the corneal ulcer treatment market. A key factor contributing to the market's increased growth rate will be the increased prevalence of eye illnesses worldwide.


For instance, according to a 2022 study by Byrd and Martin, the yearly incidence of corneal ulcers in the United States alone is predicted to be between 30,000 and 75,000, and 12.2% of all corneal transplants are performed for the treatment of infectious keratitis. Thus, result in driving the Corneal Ulcer Treatment market revenue.
