Global Lazy Eye Treatment Market: Overview
- A lazy eye is when the vision of one eye doesn’t develop the way it should. The condition is also called amblyopia. Without treatment, our brain is likely to learn to ignore the image that is transmitted from the weaker eye, which could cause permanent vision problems. It’s called “lazy eye” because the stronger eye works better.
- The lazy eye problem starts in childhood, usually between ages 6 and 9. Identifying and treating it before age 7 brings the best chances of fully correcting the condition. Every 3 out of 100 children have the issue and early treatment works well and usually prevents long-term vision problems. Some common symptoms of lazy eye condition includes difficult to telling how near or far away something is, head tilting, etc.
Key Drivers Global Lazy Eye Treatment Market
- Premature birth children are likely to be more prone toward lazy eye condition, and the trend of preterm births is rising across the globe. Preterm birth is a major factor for neonatal morbidities and mortalities, and it also has long-term adverse effects on neonatal health. According to WHO report 2017, an estimated around 15 million babies are born preterm every year globally. This factor is likely to drive the demand for lazy eye treatment.
- Demand for lazy eye treatment products has increased in emerging as well as developed markets. Thus, industry players are adopting practices of appointing third-party distributors to expand their market presence. This has led to a surge in the number of distributors and suppliers in emerging markets.
