Myopia and Presbyopia Eye Drops Market is Estimated to Witness High Growth Owing to Rising Geriatric Population
The Myopia and Presbyopia Eye Drops Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 52.7 million in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 74.3% over the forecast period 2021-2028, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Myopia and presbyopia eye drops are prescription eye drops used to temporarily relieve or prevent near-sightedness (myopia) and age-related vision problems (presbyopia). Myopia eye drops work by temporarily relaxing the eye’s focusing muscle to reduce nearsightedness, while presbyopia drops help enhance the eye’s ability to focus on near objects. These drops provide a non-invasive solution to vision correction and help reduce dependency on spectacles or contact lenses.
Market key trends:
The myopia and presbyopia eye drops market is witnessing high growth due to the rising geriatric population globally who are more prone to presbyopia. As per the United Nations, the number of people aged 65 years or above is projected to grow from 727 million in 2020 to 1.5 billion in 2050. Presbyopia is almost inevitable for everyone as they age, and the growing aging demographics translates to an increasing demand for presbyopia eye drops. Additionally, the market is boosted by technological advancements in intraocular lenses and single-use vials of eye drops that provide better portability and ease of use. Manufacturers are increasingly focusing on novel drug delivery technologies to enhance efficacy and comfort of existing myopia and presbyopia treatments.
