What Are the Critical Driver Fuelling The Ophthalmic Eye Dropper Market's Growth?
The surge in eye-related diseases is set to boost the progression of the ophthalmic eye dropper market. Eye disorders encompass a vast array of health issues that impact the eyes, resulting in impaired vision or discomfort. This upsurge in eye disorders can be attributed to environmental aspects, more frequent use of contact lenses, alterations in lifestyle, gender disparities, and a lack of vitamins. Ophthalmic eye droppers serve as a tool to deliver accurate medication dosages directly to the eye to address various eye diseases. For example, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US organization that safeguards public health through science and data, in January 2024 showed that over 3.4 million Americans aged 40 and older suffered from blindness or visual impairment, a figure predicted to double by 2030. Consequently, the rising incidence of eye disorders plays a pivotal role in the expansion of the ophthalmic eye dropper market.
