It is a multifactorial disease associated with many underlying causes like autoimmune disorders, medications, environmental factors such as low humidity, or as a result of aging process. The global dry eye disease market offers several products such as artificial tears, anti-inflammatory drugs, punctal plugs, and omega supplements that help control symptoms and treat the underlying cause.

Market key trends:

One of the key trends driving growth in the dry eye disease market is the growing adoption of prescription drugs for moderate to severe dry eye cases. Historically, artificial tears have been the first line of treatment for mild dry eye disease. However, clinicians are now increasingly prescribing omega supplements, anti-inflammatory and corticosteroid medications, immunomodulators, and secretagogues for chronic and severe cases that do not respond adequately to artificial tears alone. According to research, prescription medications can significantly reduce signs and symptoms, and improve quality of life in moderate to severe dry eye patients compared to artificial tears alone. This shift towards prescription drugs is expected to fuel market revenues over the forecast period.
