정기적인 안과 검진 및 예방적 안과 관리에 대한 인식이 높아짐에 따라 진단률이 향상되고 있습니다. 신흥 경제국에서의 의료 인프라 확충과 안과 의료 서비스에 대한 접근성 개선 또한 치료의 보급을 뒷받침하고 있습니다.
고안압증의 개요와 진단
고안압증이란, 녹내장에 수반되는 감지 가능한 시신경 손상이나 시야 결손을 동반하지 않으면서 안압 상승을 특징으로 하는 상태를 말합니다. 이는 안구 내의 방수가 제대로 배출되지 않아 안압이 상승함으로써 발생합니다. 고안압증 자체는 초기에는 증상을 일으키지 않는 경우도 있지만, 치료하지 않고 방치할 경우 개방각 녹내장을 발병하게 하는 중요한 위험 요인으로 여겨집니다.
고안압증의 진단에는 주로 종합적인 안과 검사가 이루어집니다. 여기에는 안압을 측정하는 안압 측정, 각막 두께를 평가하는 각막 두께 측정, 배수각을 검사하는 각막경 검사, 그리고 안저 검사 및 광간섭 단층촬영(OCT)을 통한 시신경 평가가 포함됩니다. 또한, 초기 기능적 변화를 감지하거나 고안압증과 녹내장을 감별하기 위해 시야 검사가 시행되기도 합니다. 안압이 지속적으로 상승하고 있는 환자는 질환이 진행될 위험이 높으므로, 정기적인 경과 관찰이 필수적입니다.
안압 상승증의 현재 치료 현황
고안압증의 치료는 녹내장 발병 위험을 줄이기 위해 안압을 낮추는 데 중점을 두고 있습니다. 1차 치료법으로는 프로스타글란딘 유사제, β-차단제, α-작용제, 탄산탈수효소 억제제 등의 점안제가 일반적으로 사용됩니다. 약물 요법만으로는 충분한 조절이 어려운 환자의 경우, 선택적 레이저 섬유주대 성형술(SLT)이나 최소 침습 녹내장 수술(MIGS) 등의 레이저 치료를 고려할 수 있습니다. 또한, 장기적인 질환 관리와 환자의 복약 순응도를 개선하기 위해 서방형 임플란트나 일산화질소 방출제 등 새로운 치료법도 개발되고 있습니다.
고안압증의 역학 분석 및 예측에 관한 주요 조사 결과
안압 상승증의 치료 현황은 기존의 국소적인 안압 강하 요법에서 유효성, 지속성 및 환자의 복약 순응도 향상을 목적으로 하는 장시간 작용형 임플란트나 새로운 작용기전에 기반한 약제로 크게 진화하고 있습니다. 트라보프로스트 전방 내 임플란트(iDose TR), 오미데네파그·이소프로파일 점안액(OMLONTI), 비마토프로스트 임플란트 등 승인된 치료법은 지속적인 약물 전달 및 프로스타글란딘 수용체를 표적으로 하는 대체 요법 분야에서 중요한 진전을 보여줍니다. 이러한 치료법은 매일 점안약을 복용하는 순응도가 낮거나 안압 조절에 변동이 있는 등 주요 미충족 의료 수요를 해결하는 동시에, 녹내장 진행 위험이 있는 환자의 장기적인 질환 관리 개선에도 기여하고 있습니다.
NCX 470, PDP-716, 세페타프로스트(DE-126/ONO-9054/STN1012600) 등의 임상시험 후보 약물은 현재 이용 가능한 치료법과 비교하여 우수한 안압 강하 효과, 내약성 향상 및 작용 지속 시간 연장을 실현하기 위해 개발이 진행되고 있습니다. NCX 470은 일산화질소의 방출과 프로스타글란딘의 작용을 결합하여 방수의 유출을 촉진하는 반면, PDP-716은 서방형 브리모니딘 기술을 활용하여 하루 1회 투여가 가능하도록 합니다. 그러나 PDP-716의 규제 승인 절차에 지연이 발생하고 있습니다. 미국 식품의약국(FDA)은 2023년 7월, PDP-716에 대한 신약 승인 신청(NDA)에 대해 완전 답변서(CRL)를 발부했습니다. 이는 약제의 안전성이나 유효성에 대한 우려가 아니라, 제3자의 유효성분(API) 제조 시설에 대한 시설 점검과 관련된 지적 사항이 해결되지 않았기 때문입니다. 그 후, SPARC사와 Ocuvex Therapeutics사는 이러한 지적 사항을 해결하고 2025년 말에 NDA를 재제출했습니다. 그러나 FDA가 2026년 5월에 다시 CRL을 발부함에 따라, 승인 및 시판 개시까지의 일정이 연장될 가능성이 있습니다.
전반적으로, 주요 7개국의 고안압증 시장은 질환 유병률 증가, 고령화, 선별 검사율 향상, 그리고 안과 치료제의 지속적인 혁신에 힘입어 2026년부터 2036년에 걸쳐 꾸준한 성장이 예상됩니다. 서방형 임플란트, 저침습 치료법 및 차별화된 점안 요법의 도입이 확대됨에 따라 경쟁 구도가 새롭게 재편될 것으로 예측됩니다.
전반적으로, 고안압증 분야의 혁신은 안압 강하 효과 향상, 치료의 지속성, 그리고 환자의 복약 순응도 향상에 초점을 맞춘, 지속적으로 확대되고 있는 표적 치료제 파이프라인에 의해 주도되고 있습니다. 새로운 치료법은 일산화질소의 방출, 프로스타글란딘 수용체의 선택적 조절, 서방형 약물 전달 시스템과 같은 새로운 작용기전을 활용하여 방수의 유출을 촉진하고 있습니다. 이러한 개발 후보 약물의 연구가 진행됨에 따라, 기존의 점안제 범위를 넘어선 치료 선택지가 확대될 것이며, 고안압증 시장에서 작용 시간이 길고, 더 효과적이며, 내약성이 우수한 치료법으로의 전환이 촉진될 것으로 기대됩니다.

Key Factors Driving the Ocular Hypertension Market
The increasing prevalence of ocular hypertension and glaucoma, particularly among the elderly population, is driving demand for early diagnosis and long-term treatment. Growing exposure to risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, and prolonged screen time is further contributing to disease burden.
The ocular hypertension market is witnessing strong innovation with the development of sustained-release therapies, nitric oxide-donating agents, and next-generation prostaglandin analogs. Emerging therapies aim to improve intraocular pressure (IOP) control, reduce dosing frequency, and enhance patient adherence. Increasing pipeline activity from pharmaceutical companies is expected to strengthen future market growth.
Rising awareness regarding routine eye examinations and preventive eye care is contributing to higher diagnosis rates. Expanding healthcare infrastructure and improved access to ophthalmic services in emerging economies are also supporting treatment uptake.
Ocular Hypertension Overview and Diagnosis
Ocular hypertension is a condition characterized by elevated IOP without detectable optic nerve damage or visual field loss associated with glaucoma. It occurs when the aqueous humor inside the eye does not drain properly, leading to increased pressure within the eye. Although ocular hypertension itself may not initially cause symptoms, it is considered a significant risk factor for the development of open-angle glaucoma if left untreated.
Diagnosis of ocular hypertension primarily involves comprehensive ophthalmic evaluation, including tonometry to measure intraocular pressure, pachymetry to assess corneal thickness, gonioscopy to examine the drainage angle, and optic nerve assessment through fundoscopy or optical coherence tomography (OCT). Visual field testing may also be conducted to detect early functional changes and differentiate ocular hypertension from glaucoma. Regular monitoring is essential, as patients with persistently elevated IOP are at increased risk of disease progression.
Current Ocular Hypertension Treatment Landscape
Treatment of ocular hypertension focuses on lowering IOP to reduce the risk of glaucoma development. First-line management commonly includes topical medications such as prostaglandin analogs, beta-blockers, alpha agonists, and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. In patients inadequately controlled with medications, laser procedures such as selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) or minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS) may be considered. Emerging therapies, including sustained-release implants and nitric oxide-donating agents, are also being developed to improve long-term disease management and patient adherence.
