Mounting Incidence of Glaucoma Disease Fuels North America Glaucoma Therapeutics Market
Glaucoma is an eye disorder caused due to the damaged optic nerve, which can eventually lead to total blindness. Glaucoma patients may experience a gradual loss of nerve tissue, resulting in vision impairment or blindness if left untreated. Glaucoma cases are increasing significantly across the world. As per the Glaucoma Research Foundation, an estimated 22 million people worldwide would attain blindness due to glaucoma by 2040. Further, Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness worldwide, affecting over 60 million people and leading to approximately 4.5 million cases of blindness, according to the World Health Organization. According to estimates provided in an article published in the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) Journal in January 2021, the number of people suffering from glaucoma in Mexico would reach 2.5 million, 3 million, and 3.4 million by the end of 2030, 2040, and 2050, respectively. The demand for glaucoma treatments is increasing with the rising number of glaucoma cases in the global population. Medical and surgical procedures meant to manage this disease focus on lowering intraocular pressure (IOP). Prostaglandin analogs are among the drugs widely recommended for effectively reducing IOP by promoting better drainage from the eye. These products have been mainstream glaucoma treatment due to their efficacy and limited adverse effects.
