That market generated $17.5bn in 2011, according to Ophthalmic Drugs: World Market Prospects 2013-2023, published in March 2013.
By: Visiongain According to Dr Syed Ahmed, a senior healthcare industry analyst in visiongain: ''Over the next ten years, there will be intense focus in ophthalmic R&D on sustained release implant and injection technologies for retinal diseases. These sustained release formulations will help reduce the frequency of administered injections. Therefore, they offer great potential for driving growth in the ophthalmic sector. Sustained release formulations are likely to benefit market leading drugs such as Lucentis and Eylea. ‘‘Diabetic macular edema (DME) will also be a key player for ophthalmology in the future. The number of people developing type II diabetes is on the increase, and many of these diabetic patients are likely to go on and develop DME. Currently there is no FDA-approved treatment and it is becoming clearer that anti-VEGF therapy will also play an increasing role in the treatment of DME”.
