A cataract is an eye-related illness that clouds the natural lens of the eye and inhibits vision. It is an age-associated disease that affects people over the age of 40 years. A cataract is one of the chief causes of blindness that cannot be healed with lenses and spectacles. It can also occur in children and young adults after an eye injury or illness. Cataract causes blurry vision, night blindness, color fading, increased sensitivity to bright lights, and double vision. As a result, cataract surgery is performed with the help of advanced devices and laser-assisted technology. It is a common surgical procedure that replaces the clouded natural lens with an artificial lens to restore vision. Cataract Surgical Devices Market Trends:
The global cataract surgical devices market is primarily driven by the rising prevalence of cataracts, especially among the geriatric population. Besides this, the growing exposure to ultraviolet radiation, cigarette smoke, and alcohol can damage the functioning of the eye cells, which causes oxidative stress and makes people vulnerable to cataracts. Furthermore, governments of various countries are coming up with health schemes and programs to financially help patients suffering from cataract-related diseases, which is further creating lucrative opportunities for surgical device manufacturers. In addition to this, technological advancements in ophthalmology are bolstering the confidence of patients toward the safety of surgical procedures. Moreover, various research and development (R&D) activities undertaken by key manufacturers have led to the introduction of femtosecond laser technology, which is positively impacting the market growth.
