Acanthamoeba Keratitis market is expected to reach USD 382 million by 2034
Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) is a rare but severe eye infection caused by Acanthamoeba species, leading to corneal inflammation, severe pain, and potential vision loss if untreated. Although rare, the disease has gained importance due to increasing contact lens usage, which represents the major risk factor for AK. Early diagnosis and effective treatment are critical for preserving vision, but management remains challenging due to the infection's resistance to conventional drugs.Download Full PDF Sample Copy of Market Report @ https://exactitudeconsultancy.com/request-sample/71395
