Myopia Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034

The 7 major myopia markets are expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.14% during 2024-2034.

The myopia market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Myopia Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034". Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, refers to a refractive error of the eye that makes distant objects appear blurry while close objects remain clear. It develops when the eyeball is too long or the cornea or lens is too curved, which causes light rays to be focused in front of the retina instead of directly on it. The main symptom of myopia is blurry vision when looking at things in the distance, such as road signs or chalkboards. Various other symptoms may include eye strain, headaches, and difficulty seeing at night or in dimly lit environment. In some cases, myopia may also cause squinting or the need to frequently adjust the distance between the eyes and the object being viewed. The diagnosis typically involves a comprehensive eye examination conducted by an optometrist or ophthalmologist. During the exam, the eye doctor uses a variety of tools and tests to measure the curvature of the cornea and the length of the eye, as well as assess the clarity of vision at different distances. The healthcare professional may also perform a retinal exam to check for any anomalies or signs of eye disease.

The growing prevalence of numerous associated risk factors, such as prolonged close-up activities, excessive screen time, lack of outdoor exposure, genetic predisposition, etc., is primarily driving the myopia market. Furthermore, the widespread adoption of atropine eye drops to dilate the pupils and reduce the progression of myopia in children is creating a positive outlook for the market. Apart from this, the escalating utilization of orthokeratology, since it aids in reshaping the cornea temporarily, allowing for clearer vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses during the day, is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Additionally, the introduction of objective refraction measurement techniques, such as autorefraction and wavefront aberrometry, which provide more accurate as well as consistent measurements than subjective methods, is also augmenting the market growth. Moreover, the emerging popularity of photorefractive keratectomy over LASIK surgery on account of its several associated benefits, including reduced likelihood of corneal ectasia, comparable long-term visual outcomes, lowered risk of flap-related complications like dislocation or infection, etc., is expected to drive the myopia market in the coming years.
