Persistent Epithelial Defect (PEDs) Market to Reach USD 2.5 Billion by 2034

Persistent epithelial defects (PEDs) are corneal lesions where the corneal epithelium fails to heal within two weeks despite standard therapy. They arise from multiple causes, including ocular trauma, corneal infections, neurotrophic keratitis, dry eye disease, post-surgical complications, and autoimmune conditions. PEDs can lead to scarring, secondary infections, corneal perforation, and vision loss, making effective management essential.
