The keratitis market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Keratitis Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034". Keratitis refers to an inflammation or infection of the cornea, the transparent, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye. This condition mainly damages the external structures of the eye, such as the cornea and the surrounding tissues. The symptoms of the disease include eye pain and discomfort, redness, blurred vision, sensitivity to light (photophobia), excessive tearing or discharge, the feeling of a foreign body in the eye, etc. In severe cases, individuals suffering from the ailment may also experience corneal ulcers or perforations, leading to vision loss or even blindness. The diagnosis of keratitis typically involves a comprehensive eye examination, including a detailed medical history and evaluation of symptoms. A healthcare provider will also perform a slit-lamp examination that helps to identify the presence of infiltrates, such as inflammatory cells or infectious agents, in patients. If an infection is suspected as the cause of keratitis, a corneal culture is further recommended to determine the specific microorganism triggering the illness. Additionally, anterior segment photography is utilized to detect the extent and progression of the disease.

The rising incidences of bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infections, in which the microorganisms directly invade the cornea, leading to damage and inflammation, are primarily driving the keratitis market. In addition to this, the increasing prevalence of various associated risk factors, like dry eyes, exposure to irritants, autoimmune disorders, eye injury or trauma, allergic reactions, etc., is further acting as a significant growth-inducing factor. Moreover, the inflating utilization of effective drugs, such as antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals, etc., to treat the infection and inhibit disease progression in patients is also creating a positive outlook for the market. Additionally, the widespread application of artificial tears or lubricating eye drops, since they help to maintain a stable and healthy tear film by moisturizing the ocular surface and reducing discomfort, is further propelling the market growth. Besides this, the emerging popularity of phototherapeutic keratectomy, which involves using an excimer laser to precisely remove the superficial layers of the cornea, thereby eliminating the infected or scarred tissue and promoting the regeneration of robust cells, is expected to drive the keratitis market in the coming years.
