Cataract is an eye disease which causes the formation of a dense and cloudy area in the lens of the eye, mostly as a result of the aging process. Around 90% of the cases are caused due to age and the remaining cases are instigated by various environmental or genetic factors. The surgical removal of cataracts is a very common procedure and is highly effective.
There are various surgical methods, which include extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) and intracapsular cataract extraction (ICCE), phacoemulsification (USP) and the femtosecond laser surgery (FSLS). In surgery, a damaged lens is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens, which are categorized into premium and non-premium lenses. Premium lenses are further divided into toric, accommodative, EDoF and Phacic lenses and have special additional features compared to standard lenses.
The rising ageing population and diabetic population are the main drivers for the greater adoption of cataract procedures, thereby boosting the demand for cataract surgery equipment in the market. There has been increasing growth of premium intraocular lenses globally and is expected to show further growth in coming years owing to advanced benefits offered by premium lenses.
