Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 10.2 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8% during 2024-2032.

Eye care surgical refers to a branch of medicine that focuses on surgical procedures aimed at diagnosing, treating, and correcting various conditions and diseases affecting the eyes. It encompasses a wide range of surgical interventions performed by ophthalmologists, specialized medical professionals who specialize in eye care. Eye care surgical procedures can address a multitude of conditions, including cataracts, glaucoma, refractive errors (such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism), corneal disorders, retinal diseases, and eye injuries. Some commonly performed eye care surgical procedures include cataract surgery, which involves the removal of the cloudy lens and implantation of an artificial lens; laser refractive surgery, such as LASIK or PRK, which reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors; glaucoma surgery, which aims to reduce intraocular pressure to prevent optic nerve damage; and retinal surgery, which repairs retinal detachments, macular holes, or diabetic retinopathy. The use of precision instruments, lasers, and microsurgical techniques has improved surgical outcomes, reduced complications, and shortened recovery times. Eye care surgical procedures are typically performed in specialized surgical centers or hospitals with dedicated ophthalmology departments. The procedures require highly skilled ophthalmic surgeons who undergo extensive training and possess expertise in specific surgical techniques.

Eye Care Surgical Market Trends:

One of the primary factors driving the market is the increase in the elderly population, leading to a higher prevalence of age-related eye conditions, such as cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration,  as these conditions often require surgical intervention for treatment and vision restoration. Additionally, the growing incidence of eye diseases also drives the need for surgical interventions to prevent vision loss and maintain or improve visual function. Other than this, the rising awareness about eye health and play a vital role in accelerating the adoption of eye care surgical procedures. Efforts to educate the public about eye diseases, regular eye examinations, and the effectiveness of surgical treatments have contributed to increased patient awareness and acceptance of surgical interventions. Apart from this, the development of minimally invasive techniques, such as small incision cataract surgery and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, has allowed for faster healing and improved patient comfort. Moreover, improved access to healthcare facilities, particularly in emerging economies, has led to greater availability of eye care surgical services, further driving market growth. Furthermore, modern lifestyles characterized by increased digital device usage, prolonged screen time, and exposure to environmental factors such as pollution and ultraviolet radiation also impact eye health. These factors have contributed to the development of eye conditions, including dry eye syndrome and refractive errors, which may require surgical intervention for effective treatment and correction.
