One key driver of the glaucoma market is the increasing prevalence of glaucoma worldwide. The aging population and the rising incidence of chronic diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension, contribute to the growing number of glaucoma cases. As a leading cause of irreversible blindness, the need for early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of glaucoma has become paramount. This drives the demand for innovative glaucoma management solutions, including advanced diagnostic tools, medications, and surgical interventions.

One key market trend in the glaucoma market is the increasing adoption of advanced diagnostic technologies and treatment options. Glaucoma, a progressive eye disease that can lead to irreversible vision loss, requires early detection and management to prevent further damage. As a result, there is a growing emphasis on early diagnosis, regular screenings, and advanced imaging techniques for accurate and timely detection of glaucoma. Advanced diagnostic technologies such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), visual field testing, and tonometry are playing a crucial role in improving the diagnosis and monitoring of glaucoma.
