The global market is driven mainly by lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. Besides this, continuous improvement in technology within ophthalmology transforms the formulation and delivery methods of drugs and diagnostic equipment to innovate therapeutics for glaucoma, thereby supporting the market. Advancements in sustained-release implants and minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries are showing traction as they offer higher efficacy, patient compliance, and sustainability. Moreover, embedding artificial intelligence and machine learning-based algorithms into research in diagnosis of glaucoma has enabled the treatment approach of patients with tailored outcomes in medical results. Similarly, the trend concerning novel ophthalmic therapies is spearheading this global market, supported by development in drugs and clinical wins in well-defined unmet patient needs. For example, Glaukos corporation reported successful Phase 3 trial outcomes for Epioxa, achieving its primary efficacy endpoint in treating Glaucoma. The results verified favorable tolerability and safety, reinforcing the potential of Epioxa as a new therapeutic agent in glaucoma management. The findings represent a significant advancement in ophthalmic drug development.

The growing trend of strategic mergers and acquisitions in the glaucoma therapeutics market is driving innovation and enhancing the development of advanced treatment options. On August 21, 2024, Ocuvex Therapeutics and Visiox Pharmaceuticals announced their merger to create a leading entity in ophthalmic medicine. The merger combines Ocuvex’s portfolio of investigational glaucoma therapeutics with Visiox’s innovative products, including OMLONTI, a treatment for elevated intraocular pressure in glaucoma. The deal is expected to speed up the commercialization of promising therapies, making the combined entity a major player in eye care. Besides this, growing concerns about ocular surface toxicity by preservative agents used in many ophthalmic preparations led to preservative-free formulation and changed the development landscape of safer treatment alternatives in glaucoma. Another factor is the increased cases of glaucoma, which is driven by pollution, UV exposure for long time, and several environmental factors.
