Vitreous Detachment Treatment Market Segmented By Laser, Cryotherapy, Vitrectomy treatment with Service providers in Hospitals, Office based ophthalmology clinics, Ophthalmology Surgical Centers
Vitreous detachment is a condition that results due to the shrinking of the vitreous thereby separating from the walls of the inner eye. This condition may also lead to the detachment of the retina, which may lead to vision problems and may require surgery. Vitreous detachment usually affects people over the age of 50.
Being nearsighted increases the risk of vitreous detachment. Some of the common symptoms of vitreous detachment is the presence of floaters. Patients having vitreous detachment may experience a small but sudden increase in number of floaters, this increase can result in flashes of light in the peripheral vision.
In most cases vitreous detachment does not affect vision and the floaters may disappear in about 3-6 months’ time. However, in some cases the vitreous detachment may result in the formation of a macular hole or a retinal tear that may require a surgical repair. A retinal tear can be repaired by either laser therapy or cryotherapy to fuse the torn section.
This procedure can also be conducted at a doctor’s office if the required facilities are available. In some cases the floaters do not disappear within the 3-6 months duration. In such cases a vitrectomy is conducted. In this procedure the floaters are removed by removing some or all of the vitreous from the eye and replacing it with sterile clear fluid.
However the risks associated with vitrectomy outweigh the benefits of the procedure. Hence the procedure is not generally recommended for vitreous detachment treatment.
Some of the factors that drive the growth of the vitreous detachment treatment market include, rise in ageing population, rise in awareness about ophthalmic diseases, increase in diagnosis of vitreous detachment, rise in prevalence of nearsightedness, and increase in adoption of technology.
Mergers of hospitals and clinics in the developed regions and increasing number of clinics and specialty hospitals is rising in the developing and other emerging regions that will favor the growth of the vitreous detachment treatment market in the near future.
However, high cost of vitreous detachment treatment, high risk of vitreous detachment treatments, and availability of alternatives such as eye exercise may reduce symptoms faster that may lead to not requiring vitreous detachment treatment at all, may hinder the growth of the vitreous detachment treatment market significantly throughout the forecast period.
