Ophthalmic Viscoelastic Devices Market to Reach USD 2.6 Billion by 2034

Ophthalmic viscoelastic devices (OVDs) are essential tools in cataract surgery and other ocular surgeries. These devices are used to maintain the shape of the eye during surgery, protect intraocular tissues, and facilitate the implantation of intraocular lenses (IOLs). OVDs, typically composed of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), sodium hyaluronate, or other biocompatible polymers, are a critical component in surgical procedures like phacoemulsification, vitrectomy, and glaucoma surgery.

The global ophthalmic viscoelastic devices market is growing, driven by increasing cataract surgeries, rising elderly populations, and technological advancements that enhance surgical precision and patient outcomes. As minimally invasive surgeries and innovative IOLs gain popularity, the market for OVDs is expected to experience steady growth.

Market Overview
• Market Size (2024): USD 1.2 billion
• Forecast (2034): USD 2.6 billion
• CAGR (2025-2034): 8.3%

Key Highlights:
• Cataract surgeries are the largest contributor to OVD demand, with an estimated 60 million surgeries annually globally.
• Technological advancements in OVDs, including longer-acting formulations and sustained-release devices, are improving surgical outcomes.
• Rising prevalence of cataracts and aging populations are driving the demand for ophthalmic surgeries and viscoelastic agents.
• Emerging markets in Asia-Pacific and Latin America are seeing significant growth in ophthalmic surgical procedures.

Segmentation Analysis
By Type of OVD:
• Cohesive OVDs
o Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and sodium hyaluronate-based formulations.
o Provide strong ocular tissue protection during phacoemulsification and IOL implantation.
o Preferred for cataract surgeries as they maintain the anterior chamber and ease IOL positioning.
• Dispersive OVDs
o Formulations that disperse easily and remain inside the eye for a longer period.
o Used in surgeries involving higher IOP control and increased ocular pressure.
• Combined OVDs
o A combination of cohesive and dispersive properties that offer dual protection during complex procedures.

By Application:
• Cataract Surgery
o OVDs are most commonly used in phacoemulsification surgeries to provide ocular tissue protection and aid in the implantation of intraocular lenses (IOLs).
• Glaucoma Surgery
o OVDs are used to help maintain chamber stability and protect the corneal endothelium during procedures like trabeculectomy.
• Vitrectomy and Retina Surgery
o Viscoelastic agents used to protect the eye during retinal detachment surgeries and macular surgeries.
• Refractive Surgery
o Used during LASIK and keratoplasty to enhance stability and precision in laser procedures.

By End Use:
• Hospitals & Specialty Ophthalmology Clinics
• Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs)
• Research & Academic Institutes
• Retail & Online Pharmacies

Segmentation Summary:
Cohesive OVDs dominate the market for cataract surgeries, but combined OVDs and dispersive agents are gaining market share due to their superior protection in complex and high-risk surgeries.
