The global ophthalmic viscosurgical devices market size is expected to reach around US$ 876.3 Mn by 2026, growing at a CAGR of around 9.7% from forecast period 2019 to 2026.

Ophthalmic viscosurgical devices are used in ophthalmic surgery for maintaining the anterior chamber during surgical maneuvers. The main function of ophthalmic viscosurgical devices are to maintain and preserve space, displace and stabilize tissue, and coat and protect tissue. Based on product type, different types of ophthalmic viscosurgical devices such as dispersive ophthalmic viscosurgical devices and cohesive ophthalmic viscosurgical devices are used. According to world Health Organization (WHO) in 2017, more than 285 million people across the globe have vision impairment, and 42% due to uncorrected refractive errors. Ophthalmic viscosurgical devices are necessary for anterior segment surgeon. According to WHO, There are about 1 billion individuals, which is nearly 13.46% of the global population, suffering from neurological disorders and more than 350 million people are suffering from depression.

Market Dynamics

The growth of the ophthalmic viscosurgical devices market is primarily driven by the rising ophthalmic viscosurgical devices demand from cataract surgeries, glucoma surgeries, and other surgeries applications, increase in geriatric population across the globe, and technological advancements in ophthalmic viscosurgical devices.
