Dry eye is also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca. It is more frequent in the elderly population and is caused by a lack of moisture in the eye. Irritation, redness, discharge, impaired vision, and easily tired eyes are just a few of the symptoms of dry eye syndrome. People who use computers or screens on a daily basis are also at risk, because staring at a screen for an extended period of time inhibits blinking and tear production, leading to dry eye symptoms.
The global dry eye syndrome treatment market is estimated to be valued at US$ 5,382.6 Million in 2020 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 16.2% during the forecast period (2020-2027).
Allergies, ageing, menopause, smoking, LASIK eye surgery, and hormone replacement treatment are some of the other variables that contribute to dry eye syndrome. The symptoms of dry eyes can be addressed using a variety of approaches, including lubricant treatments, anti-inflammatory therapies, and autologous tissue transplants.
