Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) Market to Hit USD 1.7 Billion by 2034
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a potentially blinding eye disorder that primarily affects premature infants with low birth weight. It is caused by abnormal retinal blood vessel development, which may progress to retinal detachment if untreated.Download Full PDF Sample Copy of Market Report @ https://exactitudeconsultancy.com/request-sample/72279
With advances in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), survival rates of premature infants have improved worldwide - but this has also led to a higher incidence of ROP. The market is expanding with the growing use of anti-VEGF agents, laser photocoagulation, and tele-ophthalmology screening, as well as research into long-acting biologics and gene therapy for retinal diseases.
