Neuropathic Ocular Pain Market Forecast to Grow at 7.5% CAGR, Reaching USD 890 Million by 2034

Introduction
Neuropathic ocular pain (NOP) is a complex and underdiagnosed condition characterized by chronic eye pain stemming from dysfunction or damage within the ocular sensory nerves. Unlike traditional ocular surface disorders, NOP persists even in the absence of visible signs of inflammation or tissue damage, making it particularly challenging to diagnose and treat. Patients often report severe burning, stinging, or stabbing eye pain, which can significantly impair daily activities, sleep, and mental health.

The rise in awareness of ocular neuropathic conditions, coupled with advances in diagnostics, neuroimaging, and pain management therapies, has pushed the NOP market into greater prominence. With traditional lubricants and anti-inflammatory drops providing limited relief, research has shifted toward neuropathic pain modulators, regenerative therapies, and precision diagnostics. This evolving therapeutic landscape is expected to drive market growth through 2034.
