Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can cause vision loss and blindness by damaging a nerve in the back of your eye called the optic nerve. The symptoms can start so slowly that a patient may not notice them. The only way to find out if a person has glaucoma is to get a comprehensive dilated eye exam. Glaucoma may occur among people with or without diabetes. Moreover, people with diabetic retinopathy have an increased risk of glaucoma. The condition is associated with abnormal blood vessel growth, which can result in retinopathy and leads to blockage of natural drainage of the eye. Rapidly increasing geriatric population is one of the important factors for the increasing prevalence of glaucoma, which in turn is projected to drive the growth of the glaucoma therapeutics market in the near future.
Market Dynamics
The global glaucoma eye drops market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period owing to the increasing prevalence of glaucoma.
