Keratoconus Treatment Market Size, Share, Growth Trends, and Forecast Analysis
Keratoconus Treatment Market Introduction
Keratoconus is considered to be a progressive eye disorder in which the cornea, which is normally round in shape, thins, and starts bulging into a cone-like shape. This cone shape causes the light entering the eye to deflect on its way to the light-sensitive retina, thereby resulting into distorted vision. Weakening of corneal tissue which results into keratoconus can be because of enzymes imbalance within the cornea. This imbalance results in making the cornea more susceptible to oxidative damage from compounds known as free radicals, which causes it to weaken and bulge forward. Keratoconus also is related to overexposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays, excessive rubbing of eyes, a history of contact lenses which are poorly fitted, and chronic eye irritation. Treatment for keratoconus disorder depends on the severity of condition and how rapidly the progression of the condition takes place. Mild to moderate keratoconus can be treated with contact lenses or eyeglasses. In some people suffering with keratoconus, wearing contact lenses becomes difficult or cornea becomes scarred. In these cases, surgery might be necessary.

Global Keratoconus Treatment Market: Dynamics
Increase in Prevalence of Keratoconus
Increasing prevalence of the keratoconus disorder, is the reason responsible for boosting the keratoconus treatment market. According to National Keratoconus Foundation, in 2014, a study by American Journal of Ophthalmology found 218 newly diagnosed cases of keratoconus in the Netherlands. It determined the annual incidence (new cases) to be 1 in every 7,500 individuals.
Ultraviolet Radiations and Sun Exposure
According to a study titled “Epidemiology of Keratoconus Worldwide” by the Open Opthalmology Journal, ultraviolet radiation is regarded as one of the main causes for the development of keratoconus because of its oxidative damage. This can be illustrated by its high prevalence of keratoconus in hot and sunny areas. Higher prevalence of keratoconus has been identified in Saudi Arabia, Iran, New Zealand, Israel, and some Pacific Islands. One of the explanations for this can be high exposure to the sun and UV rays. Thus, ultraviolet radiations and sun exposure are likely to cause keratoconus disorder, thereby boosting the keratoconus treatment market.
