Diabetic Eye Disease Market to Reach USD 10.3 Billion by 2034

Diabetes is one of the fastest-growing chronic diseases globally, and one of its most serious complications is diabetic eye disease. This term encompasses conditions such as diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macular edema (DME), both of which can lead to vision impairment or blindness if untreated. With the rising global prevalence of diabetes-projected to affect more than 600 million people by 2045-the demand for effective treatment and prevention of diabetic eye disease has never been greater.
