The vernal keratoconjunctivitis market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034". Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) refers to a rare, chronic allergic disorder primarily affecting the eyes. It typically emerges in children and young adults, particularly in regions with warmer climates. The condition is characterized by inflammation of both the conjunctiva and the cornea. Symptoms of VKC can be distressing, encompassing intense itching, redness, watery discharge, and sensitivity to light. Individuals suffering from the illness might also experience a foreign body sensation in the eye and discomfort. In severe cases, VKC can lead to visual impairment due to complications, such as corneal ulcers or scarring. The diagnosis of this disorder involves a comprehensive eye examination by an ophthalmologist. Clinical features, patient history, and allergic triggers are considered, along with specialized tests like conjunctival scraping and allergen-specific testing. The presence of typical signs such as large papillae (raised bumps) on the conjunctiva under the upper eyelid is often diagnostic.

The increasing cases of exposure to allergens, including pollen, dust mites, animal dander, etc., that can lead to an exaggerated immune response are primarily driving the vernal keratoconjunctivitis market. In addition to this, the inflating utilization of effective pharmaceutical interventions, such as antihistamines, mast cell stabilizers, and corticosteroids to manage symptoms and avert exacerbations is also creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, the widespread adoption of cold compresses and lubricating eye drops, as they aid in alleviating discomfort and maintaining ocular moisture in individuals suffering from the illness, is further bolstering the market growth. Apart from this, the rising usage of immunomodulatory agents, which help to regulate the exaggerated immune response underlying the condition, thereby improving the quality of life, is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Additionally, the emerging popularity of advanced therapies like subconjunctival steroid injections to treat severe cases of VKC is also augmenting the market growth. These procedures provide direct delivery of the medication to the affected area and target the inflammation at its source. Furthermore, the escalating application of tele-ophthalmology consultations for remote diagnosis and treatment plans, since they act as a facilitative element in reaching out to a broader patient population, making healthcare more accessible, is expected to drive the vernal keratoconjunctivitis market during the forecast period.
