Glaucoma

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a group of eye disorders characterized by progressive optic nerve damage and visual field loss, often linked to elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). It is the second leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, affecting millions, particularly the elderly. The most common forms include primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and angle-closure glaucoma, but secondary forms (due to trauma, inflammation, or steroid use) also contribute significantly.

Introduction Neurotrophic keratitis (NK) is a rare, degenerative corneal disease caused by impaired corneal innervation, leading to reduced or absent corneal sensitivity. This results in poor wound healing, epithelial breakdown, and in severe cases, corneal ulceration, scarring, and vision loss. Although classified as a rare disease, NK has a significant clinical impact due to its association with conditions such as herpes simplex virus (HSV) keratitis, herpes zoster ophthalmicus, diabetes, ocular surgeries,

Introduction Dry age-related macular degeneration (Dry AMD) is a chronic, progressive eye disorder that damages the macula-the central portion of the retina responsible for sharp, straight-ahead vision. Unlike wet AMD, which involves abnormal blood vessel growth, dry AMD is characterized by the accumulation of drusen (yellow deposits) beneath the retina and gradual thinning of macular tissues. While it progresses more slowly, Dry AMD accounts for nearly 85-90% of all AMD cases

Night Vision Disturbances Market Forecast to Grow at 6.8% CAGR
Introduction Night vision disturbances (NVD) encompass a range of visual impairments that occur under low-light conditions, such as halos, glare, starbursts, and difficulty seeing in dim environments. These disturbances can be associated with refractive errors, cataracts, corneal diseases, retinal disorders, or post-surgical complications such as LASIK and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. While often underreported, NVD significantly affects quality of life by impairing driving ability, mobility, and overall visual confidence. With global aging

Hyperopia Market is projected to reach USD 13.7 billion by 2034
Hyperopia, also known as farsightedness, is a common refractive error where distant objects are seen more clearly than near ones. It occurs due to the short axial length of the eye or abnormal corneal curvature, causing light to focus behind the retina. Symptoms include eye strain, blurred near vision, headaches, and difficulty with reading or prolonged near work.
