Market Growth Factors
Globally, approximately six million people suffer from corneal opacity, making it the sixth leading cause of blindness. This growing patient pool drives the demand for artificial corneas and corneal implants as effective treatment options.
Continuous innovations in biotechnology and transplantation techniques are revolutionizing ophthalmology. Minimally invasive surgical procedures enhance patient outcomes and recovery rates, while robotics and artificial intelligence improve surgical precision and efficiency.
Additionally, the persistent shortage of donor tissues worldwide is fueling the demand for bioengineered and synthetic corneas, which serve as scalable and cost-effective alternatives to traditional donor-based transplants.

Market Segmentation
By Type:
• Human Cornea: Utilizes donated corneal tissue, offering natural compatibility and high effectiveness.
• Artificial Cornea: Comprises bioengineered or synthetic substitutes, suitable for patients who are not candidates for donor-based transplants.

By Transplant Type:
• Penetrating Keratoplasty: Full-thickness corneal replacement procedure for advanced conditions.
• Endothelial Keratoplasty: Focuses on the inner corneal layer, commonly used for endothelial disorders.
• Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty: Partial-thickness replacement suitable for surface-level issues.
• Keratoprosthesis: Involves artificial cornea implantation for patients with repeated graft failures or complex corneal diseases.

By Disease Indication:
• Fuchs' Dystrophy: Progressive endothelial condition frequently treated with DMEK.
• Fungal Keratitis: Severe infection occasionally requiring surgical intervention.
• Keratoconus: Characterized by corneal thinning and bulging, managed with selective keratoplasty.
• Others: Includes various conditions necessitating surgical correction.
