Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm

Glaucoma Overview

According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, glaucoma describes a group of conditions in which there is characteristic cupping of the optic disc with corresponding visual field defects due to retinal ganglion cell loss. It is a progressive condition and the most common cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. The two major categories of glaucoma are open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and narrow-angle glaucoma/angle-closure glaucoma (ACG). Glaucoma often does not cause noticeable symptoms in the early stages, so it is often called the “silent thief of sight.” As the condition progresses, peripheral (side) vision may be affected, gradually narrowing the visual field.

Glaucoma Diagnosis

Although glaucoma is not curable, early diagnosis and adequate treatment effectively reduce or prevent further optic nerve (ON) damage. The diagnosis of glaucoma typically involves a comprehensive eye examination and several specific tests, namely, tonometry (measurement of intraocular pressure), an ophthalmoscopy (evaluation of the optic nerve for signs of damage), visual field testing (perimetry), gonioscopy (assessing the drainage angle of the eye to determine the type of glaucoma) to assess the health of the optic nerve and evaluate IOP levels.

The diagnosis of glaucoma typically involves a combination of clinical evaluation, visual field testing, optic nerve examination, and measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP). The diagnosis guidelines for glaucoma can vary to some extent based on geographical regions and medical societies, such as separate guidelines published by American Academy of Ophthalmology, European Glaucoma Society Terminology, and others.

Further details related to country-based variations are provided in the report

Glaucoma Treatment

There is no cure for glaucoma, but early treatment can often stop the damage and protect the vision. Doctors use a few different types of treatment for glaucoma, including medicines (usually eye drops), laser treatment, and surgery.

Glaucoma is treated by lowering the eye pressure (intraocular pressure), and depending on the situation, management includes prescription eye drops, oral medications, laser treatment, surgery, or a combination of any of these.

Medicines: Medications for glaucoma treatment aim to lower IOP by decreasing AH production and increasing AH outflow. Prostaglandin analogs and beta-blockers are currently the most frequently used agents.

Surgery: The most common type of surgery for glaucoma is called trabeculectomy. It involves removing part of the eye-drainage tubes to allow fluid to drain more easily.

Glaucoma Epidemiology

As the market is derived using the patient-based model, the Glaucoma epidemiology chapter in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by Total Prevalent Cases of Glaucoma, Total Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of Glaucoma, Type-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of Glaucoma, Type-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of Open-angle Glaucoma, Gender-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of Glaucoma, and Age-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of Glaucoma in the 7MM covering the United States, EU4 countries (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain) and the United Kingdom, and Japan, from 2020 to 2034. The total prevalent cases of Glaucoma in the 7MM comprised approximately 16,632,421 cases in 2022 and are projected to increase during the forecast period 2023-2034.

Glaucoma remain undetected in most of the patients due to many factors. According to DelveInsight estimations, of 16,632,421 prevalent cases in 2022 in the 7MM, only 7,045,443 cases are estimated to have received a formal diagnosis.

The US showed the highest diagnosed prevalent population of Glaucoma compared to other 7MM countries, with nearly 2,451,089 cases in 2022. As per DelveInsight’s estimates, the country alone accounts for nearly 35% of total diagnosed prevalent cases, for Glaucoma in the 7MM, followed by Japan, contributing 23% of all the Glaucoma cases.

Glaucoma can affect both men and women, however the ratio of male to female Glaucoma patients suggest that female are predominantly affected more than males. In 2022, there were 3,234,796 cases of glaucoma among male population and 3,810,646 cases among female population.

The diagnosed prevalent cases of glaucoma were further divided into open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and closed-angle glaucoma. The distribution showed that nearly 90% of glaucoma cases are of OAG type.

Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG) and Secondary Open-Angle Glaucoma (SOAG) are two types of Open-angle glaucoma.

Normal tension glaucoma (NTG) is a subtype of POAG occurring in the presence of normal IOP. As per DelveInsight’s estimates, of all POAG cases in the 7MM, 52% were of NTG type.

Among EU4 and the UK, Germany had the highest diagnosed prevalent population of glaucoma, with 701,946 cases, followed by France in 2022. On the other hand, Spain had the lowest diagnosed prevalent population of glaucoma among EU4 and the UK in 2022.

Japan accounted for 23% of the total diagnosed prevalent cases of Glaucoma in the 7MM in 2022.

Drug Class Insights

Management of the disease focuses on lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) with the current class of drugs, like prostaglandin analogs, beta-blockers, alpha-agonists, rho kinase inhibitors (ROCK) and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. Prostaglandin analogs increase fluid outflow, beta-blockers reduce fluid production, alpha-adrenergic agonists decrease fluid production and increase outflow, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors reduce fluid production, rho kinase inhibitors increase fluid outflow, and cholinergic agonists increase fluid drainage.

The choice of medication depends on factors such as glaucoma severity, patient response, and potential side effects.

Glaucoma Market Outlook

The primary objective of disease management is to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP), typically accomplished through the use of various drug classes such as prostaglandin analogs, beta-blockers, alpha-agonists, rho kinase inhibitors (ROCK), and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. However, not all patients benefit from these treatments, as some may still experience optic nerve deterioration despite having normal IOP levels. In addition to pharmacological interventions, alternative measures such as incisional surgery, laser surgery, and medication are also commonly recommended.

The launch of emerging therapies, such as NCX 470 (Nicox Ophthalmics), PDP-716 (Sun Pharma Advanced Research Company Limited (SPARC)/ Visiox Pharma), and others are expected to impact the market positively.

The total market size of Glaucoma in the 7MM was around USD 4,073 million in 2022. This is estimated to increase by 2034 at a significant CAGR.
