Global Cataract Surgical Devices Market

The global cataract surgical devices market has experienced a moderate growth, over the recent years. Some of the factors which are providing impetus to the market include constant support from the government, changing lifestyles, rise in geriatric population and technological advancements.

Cataract refers to the clouding of the eye’s lens which results in the blurring of the vision. It develops gradually and may affect one or both the eye. Some of the symptoms of cataract include colour fading, blurring vision, appearance of halos near lights, discomfort due to bright lights, night blindness, etc. Cataract cannot be rectified with contact lenses or glasses and only a surgery can eradicate the clouded lens by replacing it with an artificial lens.
