The Fuchs dystrophy market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Fuchs Dystrophy Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034". Fuchs dystrophy is a progressive eye disease that damages the cornea, which is the transparent, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye. It is a hereditary condition that affects women more frequently than men. The main symptom of the ailment is gradual loss of vision, which typically begins in the morning and improves throughout the day. As the condition progresses, patients may experience increased sensitivity to light, blurred vision, and difficulty seeing at night. In advanced cases, fluid may accumulate in the cornea, causing swelling and distortion of vision. Fuchs dystrophy can be diagnosed through a comprehensive eye exam performed by an ophthalmologist. During the exam, the doctor will evaluate the patient's vision and check for signs of corneal swelling or thickening. They also use a special microscope called a slit lamp to examine the cornea in detail and assess the health of the cells that line its surface. In addition to this, the doctor may perform specular microscopy, which uses a special camera to create a high-resolution image of the cornea's inner layer. This can help to detect changes in the cells that may indicate the presence of Fuchs dystrophy. In a few cases, genetic testing is also recommended to confirm the diagnosis.
The increasing cases of genetic mutations that affect the production of proteins in the cornea, which further lead to progressive thinning and clouding of the cornea, are primarily driving the Fuchs dystrophy market. In addition to this, the inflating adoption of steroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce inflammation and swelling in the cornea, thereby improving vision and easing discomfort, is also bolstering the market growth. Moreover, the rising application of phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) to remove excess corneal tissue and smooth out the surface of the cornea is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Apart from this, the escalating demand for bandage contact lenses, since they protect the cornea from further damage by providing a smooth surface for the eyelid to glide over, is creating a positive outlook for the market. They also aid in alleviating swelling and improving vision by drawing excess fluid from the cornea. Additionally, the emerging popularity of Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty on account of its several associated benefits, such as reduced risk of rejection, lowered likelihood of astigmatism, minimal impact on the cornea, faster recovery time, etc., is expected to drive the Fuchs dystrophy market in the coming years.
