Dry Eye Syndrome Treatment Market – Insights
Dry eye syndrome (DES), also known as keratisis sicca or keratoconjunctivitis sicca, causes damage to the ocular surface, instability in the tear film, and visual disturbance. Tear film covers the ocular surface, which is made up of three intertwined layers: a superficial lipid layer, middle thick aqueous layer, and middle thick aqueous layer. The meibomian glands produce the superficial lipid layer. The layer aids in reducing tear evaporation and uniform tear spreading. Lacrimal glands produce the middle thick aqueous layer and goblet cells of conjunctiva and epithelium of ocular surface produce the innermost hydrophilic mucin layer.

Widely prevalent types of DES include, DES associated with Sjogren syndrome (SS) and DES unassociated with SS. The syndrome can also be divided into aqueous deficiency dry eye and evaporative dry eye disorder. Aqueous tear deficiency (ATD) may also give rise to SS in case symptoms of connective tissue disease (CTD) or xerostomia are recorded in the past. Cases of primary SS may demonstrate evidence of autoimmune disease with high presence of ocular surface disease, ATD, and serum autoantibodies. According to TearScience Inc., in 2012, around 86% of the patients in Europe and the U.S. suffering from DES demonstrated symptoms of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD, blockage of meibomian glands). The blockage leads to less secretion of oil in the tears that causes quick evaporation of tears.

Ocular irritation, photophobia, blurry vision, mucoid discharge, ocular dryness, itching, and excessive tearing are common symptoms of DES. Schirmer test, tear film osmolarity, tear meniscus height, tear ferning test, measurement of tear break up time, and staining of corneal and conjuctivital epithelium with lissamine green and fluorescein or rose bengal are some of the tests used in diagnosis of the disease. Common agents used for the treatment of DES include, topical anti-inflammatory agents (cyclosporine and corticosteroids), omega 3 fatty acids, artificial tear substitutes and gels, emulsions, immunosuppressant, umbilical cord serum, and ointments. The condition can also be treated using advanced options such as conjunctival flap, salivary gland duct transposition, mucous membrane grafting, lateral tarsorrhaphy, amniotic membrane contact lens therapy, and prosthetic replacement of the ocular surface ecosystem (PROSE) lens therapy.
Dry Eye Syndrome Treatment Market: Drivers
Increasing incidence of DES, growing awareness about the diagnosis and treatment of the disease, and increasing geriatric population is expected to boost growth of the global DES treatment market. For instance, according to National Health and Wellness Survey in 2013, around 16.4 million people are suffering from DES, which accounts for 6.8% of the total population of the U.S. Prevalence of DES increases with age, 2.7% for 18 – 34 age group and 18.6% for more than 75 age group were reported to be suffering from DES. The prevalence of DES is higher in women (8.8%) as compared to men (4.5%). According to the National Eye Institute, in the U.S the annual cost of treating DES including prescription drugs is US $3.84 billion.

However, stringent regulation for drug approval, expiration of blockbuster drugs patents, and lack of skilled ophthalmologists are some of the factors hampering growth of the global dry eye syndrome treatment market.
