Neuropathic pain is a pain condition that’s usually chronic. It’s usually caused by chronic, progressive nerve disease, and it can also occur as the result of injury or infection. Ocular neuropathic pain, also referred to as corneal neuropathic pain, is a condition where corneal pain is seen in response to normally non-painful stimuli. This results from repeated direct damage to corneal nerves. This damaged nerve sends pain signals to central nervous system (CNS) even in the absence of painful stimulus, thus, called “pain without stain” or “phantom cornea’. This condition is the ocular analog of systemic neuropathic pain, a complex regional pain syndrome, or reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD). Ocular or corneal neuropathic pain, corneal neuropathy, corneal neuralgia, kertaoneuralgia, and corneal allodynia are all terms that are used to describe the same disease entity.
Market Dynamics
An increase in government and non-government organizations' initiatives to improve access to affordable vision care and an increase in awareness among people regarding eye-related disease are expected to drive the market growth. Moreover, an increase in product launches by key market players is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in November 2021, I-MED Pharma inc., a privately held Canada based eye care company, announced that it had launched an entire portfolio of dry eye products in the U.S. The products such as I-DROP, I-DEFENCE, and others, are intended to provide long-lasting relief from eye dryness, which is caused due to neuropathic ocular pain.
