Ophthalmic Drugs Overview
An ophthalmic drug is injected into the eye, most commonly as an eye drop formulation. Topical formulations are used to treat a variety of eye diseases. These conditions may include dry eye, glaucoma, bacterial eye damage, and bacterial infections. Glaucoma is the world's second leading cause of blindness, according to WHO. Cefazolin, gentamicin, EDTA, bevacizumab, and other ophthalmology medications are on the market. Other factors expected to drive market growth in the coming years include improved healthcare infrastructure, supportive government initiatives to raise health awareness among people worldwide, and increased investment in the development of advanced drug types.
Ophthalmic Drugs Market Insights
North America dominated the global ophthalmic drugs market in 2021 and will continue to do so through the forecast period of 2022–2027. This dominance is attributed to the rising prevalence of eye disorders such as cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and other eye-related disorders, as well as the growing geriatric population.
Along with the growing patient population affected by eye disorders, product development activities are expected to boost demand for ophthalmic drugs in the region in the coming years. In April 2022, Novartis' Sandoz expanded its eye drug offerings by acquiring Allergan's popular ocular hypertension medication. Sandoz launched the generic version of AbbVie's Combigan, a combination eye drop used to treat high eye pressure, as the most-dispensed branded combination glaucoma medication in the United States. As a result of the interplay of various factors, such as the presence of a large patient population, as well as product launches by key market players in the region, the North American ophthalmic drugs market is expected to grow during the forecast period.

Ophthalmic Drugs Market Dynamics
The growing global geriatric population is one of the primary drivers of the ophthalmic drugs market. Cataracts, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, presbyopia, allergies, and infections, among others, are the leading causes of vision loss in the elderly, and each of these conditions can be treated or slowed with appropriate ophthalmic drugs if detected early. Because of such physical changes with age, an increase in the elderly population can be directly linked to an increase in the population suffering from various ophthalmic diseases. As a result, the growing geriatric population, which requires more medications, will drive the market demand for ophthalmic drugs during the forecast period (2022–2027)
However, certain side effects associated with the use of eye drops, gels, and ointments and the government's strict regulatory guidelines, cause delays in product approvals, which may act as a restraint on the growth of the ophthalmic drugs market.
Additionally, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the ophthalmic drugs market was moderately impacted. During the early stages of the pandemic, the sale of ophthalmic drugs was hampered by the imposition of strict lockdown rules, as well as disruptions in the manufacturing and supply of the drugs. Furthermore, during the pandemic, COVID-19 patients were given priority in terms of diagnosis and treatment, resulting in a decrease in the number of diagnoses and treatments for various ophthalmic conditions such as cataracts, dry eyes, glaucoma, macular degeneration, conjunctivitis, and others, which in turn resulted in a decrease in demand for ophthalmic drugs, negatively impacting the growth of the ophthalmic drugs market.
However, with the ease of lockdown restrictions, an increase in resources and a supply chain, the administration of the vaccine to the public, the incorporation of telemedicine and e-commerce, and the increasing number of ophthalmic disease diagnose through telehealth, demand for ophthalmic drugs is up and expected to grow during the forecast period of 2022–2027.
