Corneal Endothelial Dystrophy Market

Corneal Endothelial Dystrophy Market

Introduction
Corneal endothelial dystrophy is a progressive eye disorder that affects the inner layer of the cornea, leading to vision impairment due to corneal swelling and scarring. The most common form, Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD), typically manifests in middle age and progresses with aging, impacting millions globally. If untreated, the condition can lead to severe vision loss requiring corneal transplantation.

As the global population ages and awareness of corneal disorders increases, the Corneal Endothelial Dystrophy Market is witnessing rapid advancements. Innovations in endothelial keratoplasty techniques, development of regenerative cell therapies, and emerging pharmacological solutions are reshaping treatment pathways. The rising prevalence of corneal diseases, coupled with technological progress in diagnostics and surgical procedures, is expected to drive strong market growth through 2034.
