Dry eye syndrome (DES) is also known as keratisis sicca and keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Dry eye disease is a common condition that occurs when your tears aren't able to provide adequate lubrication for your eyes. Patients suffering from DES show damage to the ocular surface, instability in the tear film, and visual disturbance. Tear film covers the ocular surface which is made up of three intertwined layers, a superficial lipid layer produced by meibomian glands assist in reducing tear evaporation and uniform tear spreading, middle thick aqueous layer produced from lacrimal glands, and the innermost hydrophilic mucin layer produced from goblet cells of conjunctiva and epithelium of ocular surface. Dry eye syndrome is associated with a long list of causes which can be divided into primary and secondary. Dry eye may develop secondary to inflammatory disease (e.g. vascular, allergic), environmental conditions (e.g. allergens, cigarette smoke, dry climate), hormonal imbalance (e.g. perimenopausal women and patients under hormone replacement therapy), and contact lens wear. Other causes of dry eye are certain diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren’s syndrome, thyroid disease, and lupus Blepharitis (when eyelids are swollen or red), Entropion (when eyelids turn in), ectropion (eyelids turn outward) and being in smoke, wind or a very dry climate.
Market Dynamics
New dry eye therapies are introduced in the market with several new medications in the pipeline seeking approval. Strong product pipeline offers great market growth opportunity as approval of numerous pipeline products is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period. For instance, in October 2021, Oyster Point Pharma, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of therapies to address ophthalmic disease, announce the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for TYRVAYA (varenicline solution) Nasal Spray 0.03 mg, for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. YRVAYA Nasal Spray is a selective cholinergic agonist delivered twice daily as an aqueous nasal spray into each nostril to activate basal tear production.
