Fuchs' Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy Market to Grow at 7.8% CAGR, Reaching USD 890 Million by 2034
Fuchs' Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy Market
Fuchs' Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD) is the most common type of corneal endothelial dystrophy, primarily affecting the innermost corneal layer known as the endothelium. Characterized by endothelial cell loss, corneal edema, and vision impairment, FECD often manifests in individuals over the age of 40 and progresses gradually. If left untreated, the condition can cause severe vision loss, requiring corneal transplantation or advanced surgical interventions.
With the global population aging rapidly, FECD prevalence is on the rise, particularly in developed nations. The Fuchs' Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD) Market is gaining momentum as new diagnostic tools, advanced keratoplasty techniques, and regenerative therapies emerge. Pharmaceutical firms, biotech innovators, and ophthalmic device manufacturers are accelerating investments in developing effective and accessible treatments, making this market one of the most dynamic areas within ophthalmology.
