Intraocular Filtration Devices Market Volume Forecast and Value Chain Analysis 2017 2026

Posted on 2019-09-11 by Mark Hub in Healthcare // 0 Comments

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. It was estimated that in 2010, 60.5 million people had glaucoma and this number to reach to 79.6 million by 2020. Advancing age, family history, race, and elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) are the major risk factors for optic nerve degeneration in glaucoma. Currently, the only risk factor that may be modified is the IOP: this can be achieved by either reducing the production of or increasing the outflow of aqueous humor. Intraocular Filtration Devices is one of the solution which enables the drainage system of the eye, damaged by glaucoma. This device is intended to reduce intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients where medical and conventional surgical glaucoma treatments have failed.

The only and mostly used intraocular filtration device available in market is EX-PRESS Glaucoma Filtration Device (Alcon, A Novartis division). This EX-PRESS Glaucoma Filtration Device is a small unit – similar in size to a grain of rice – that is implanted between the inner region and the outer region of the eye. The device is placed by simply lifting a tiny flap of the edge of the eye and injecting the simple device. Postoperative aqueous flow is controlled by the devices unique flow modulating system and the scleral flap created in the procedure. Due to its special features, such as it provides controlled fluid drainage, which results in better regulated IOP and less hypotony; and does not require sclerectomy or peripheral iridectomy, which creates less surgical trauma, this device is potentially more predictable than other filtration surgeries

Moreover, intraocular filtration device is compatible to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

This device is biocompatible, since the material used, a very special grade of stainless steel, similar to that used in heart valve implants has a long history of safe human implantation.

The intraocular filtration devices market is primarily driven by increasing number of patients suffering glaucoma, technological advancement, rise in disposable income, and early adoption of treatment. Medicinal and surgical treatments for glaucoma are addressing the global threat of glaucoma in an effort to bring about a significant reduction in the occurrence of preventable blindness throughout the world. Besides its multiple advantages, the inclination towards traditional treatment has been observed. Even though, primary open-angle glaucoma can be managed by long-term use of eye drops to reduce intraocular pressure or surgery (e. g. trabeculectomy) and should be followed up by long-term monitoring of the visual ?eld, optic disc, and intra-ocular pressure.
