According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Lazy Eye Market is accounted for $3.26 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $4.92 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period. A vision development disorder known as lazy eye, or amblyopia, occurs when one eye is unable to achieve normal visual acuity, even with prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses. It usually begins in childhood, when the eyes and brain are still growing. Amblyopia is a condition in which the brain prefers one eye over the other, impairing vision in the affected eye. Moreover, common causes include significant differences in the prescription (refractive error) between the two eyes, strabismus (misalignment of the eyes), or other conditions affecting the eyes, such as cataracts.
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, amblyopia, commonly known as lazy eye, is the most common cause of visual impairment in children, affecting approximately 2 to 3 out of every 100 children in the United States.
Growing number of amblyopia cases
Due to a number of factors, including genetic predispositions, rising birth rates, and environmental factors like screen time and fewer outdoor activities, amblyopia is becoming more commonplace worldwide. An efficient diagnosis and management approach is imperative in light of this increasing prevalence. It is imperative to detect amblyopia early on because, if left untreated, it can cause permanent visual impairments. Moreover, as healthcare providers strive to address this prevalent condition, the demand for treatment solutions is growing, driving market growth.
Exorbitant price of cutting-edge therapies
One major obstacle to the growth of this market is the high cost of advanced amblyopia treatments, such as digital therapy systems and specialty corrective lenses. The high costs that end users must pay for many of these cutting-edge solutions stem from the significant costs associated with their R&D, production, and marketing. Families without sufficient health insurance or those residing in low-income areas may find this financial burden especially difficult. Additionally, because of this, the cost of these treatments continues to be a major barrier to their adoption and accessibility by a variety of socioeconomic groups.
Growth in emerging markets
There is a big chance for the market for amblyopia treatments to expand in emerging economies. Latin American, Asian, and African nations are all seeing increases in their economies, as well as improvements to their infrastructure for healthcare. The demand for efficient amblyopia treatments is raising as knowledge of eye health issues and disposable incomes both rise. Furthermore, a largely unexplored consumer base can be advantageous to businesses that deliberately enter these markets.
Problems with Patient Compliance
One of the most important aspects of amblyopia treatment success is patient compliance. For many treatment modalities, like atropine drops and eye patches, to be effective, they must be used consistently over an extended period of time. But it can be difficult to keep patients compliant, particularly when they are young and may find certain treatments upsetting or stigmatizing. Moreover, non-compliance may result in less than ideal treatment results, which may lower the treatments' perceived efficacy and possibly increase the dropout rate. Improving the effectiveness of treatment and the sustainability of the market require addressing compliance issues.
Due to disruptions in healthcare services and delays in routine eye examinations and treatments, the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant effect on the amblyopia treatment market. Lockdowns and other social distancing tactics decreased patient visits to ophthalmologists, which in many cases delayed the early detection and treatment of amblyopia. Additionally, some families deprioritized non-emergency healthcare, including treatment for amblyopia, due to financial strain and economic uncertainty brought on by the pandemic.
The Strabismic segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The Strabismic Amblyopia segment has the largest market share in lazy eye (amblyopia). As a result of an eye misalignment known as strabismus, strabismic amblyopia is the most prevalent type of amblyopia. Poor visual development in the misaligned eye results from the brain favoring one eye over the other to prevent double vision. In order to align the eyes and improve vision, early diagnosis and treatment are essential. Furthermore, these procedures frequently involve the use of eye patches, corrective glasses, or surgery.
The Photo screening segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The photo screening segment of the lazy eye (amblyopia) market is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR. Photo screening is taking pictures of a child's eyes with specialized cameras and software. These images are then analyzed to find amblyopia risk factors like strabismus or refractive errors. Because it is quick, non-invasive, and simple to use on young children who might not cooperate for traditional eye exams, this method is especially beneficial. Moreover, this market is expanding quickly due to a number of factors, including increased adoption of pediatric screenings, photo screening technology advancements, and a growing understanding of the value of early detection.
Due to its sophisticated healthcare system, high awareness, and easy access to treatment options, North America-and especially the United States-dominate the market for lazy eyes. Because lazy eye cases are so common in the US, there is a healthy market there that is backed by strong pharmaceutical companies, esteemed research facilities, and a proactive approach to treating vision disorders. Additionally, the nation's notable market share in the North American lazy eye market can be attributed to its focus on healthcare innovation and the extensive accessibility of treatment modalities.
The lazy eye market has the highest CAGR in the Asia-Pacific region, which includes nations like China, Japan, and India. Factors like rising healthcare costs, increased public awareness of eye conditions, and easier access to healthcare, especially in rural areas, are driving this growth. Furthermore, with their sizable populations, nations like China and India present substantial growth prospects because of the increased incidence of lazy eye cases and the increased attention being paid to the development of healthcare infrastructure.
Key players in the market
Some of the key players in Lazy Eye market include Johnson And Johnson Services, Inc, Golden Vision, Krafty Eye Patches, Adwia Pharmaceuticals, NovaSight, 3M, Pfizer Inc, TCI Chemicals Pvt. Ltd, Rebion, Bausch & Lomb Incorporated, Opthopatch, Vivid Vision, Inc, Hilco Vision, Walgreens and Fresnel Prism & Lens.
In May 2024, Johnson & Johnson has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Proteologix Inc., a privately-held biotechnology company focused on bispecific antibodies for immune-mediated diseases, for $850 million in cash, with potential for an additional milestone payment.
In January 2024, 3M Health Care announced that its Medical Solutions Division received a $34.2 million award from the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity. The award enables 3M to develop a range of new solutions for infection prevention, wound management and wound healing.
In September 2023, Bausch + Lomb Corporation, a subsidiary of Bausch Health Companies Inc. announced it has completed its acquisition of XIIDRA(R) 5%, a non-steroid eye drop specifically approved to treat the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease focusing on inflammation associated with dry eye, and certain other ophthalmology assets.
