Retinal Disorder Treatment Market: Introduction
According to the report, the global retinal disorder treatment market was valued at ~US$ 9.2 Bn in 2018 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of ~8% from 2019 to 2027. Retinal disorders include macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, diabetes macular edema, and retinal vein occlusion. Macular degeneration is of two types: wet age-related macular degeneration and dry age-related macular degeneration. Diabetic retinopathy is one of the common diabetic eye disorders. It is caused by damage to the blood vessels in the retina. The damaged blood vessels and nerves lead to vision impairment, blurring of vision, and eye hemorrhage. If left untreated, it may lead to retinal detachment and blindness.
