Dry eye disease (DED) is the condition that occurs when tears are not able to provide adequate lubrication to eyes. DED is a multifactorial disease of the ocular surface with loss of homeostasis of the tear film and ocular symptoms. Over-the-counter (OTC) eye drops, such as artificial tears, and prescription eye drops, are effective treatments for dry eye.
Market Dynamics:
Rising incidence of dry eye disease worldwide, rise in demand for safe and effective treatment, rise in focus on the development of novel therapeutics, growing geriatric population, emergence of novel diagnostic tools, and technological advancements are major factors expected to propel the growth of the global dry eye disease market.
