Total worldwide sales of products used to diagnose and treat glaucoma amounted to $4.2 billion in 2008, and pharmaceuticals accounted for the lion’s share of these revenues. A number of devices are used to screen for and monitor glaucoma, however once diagnosed medications instead of surgery is the first line of treatment. As a rule, surgical devices are used only when medication therapy fails to achieve the desired result.
The Global Glaucoma Device Market is a leading industry source for glaucoma market estimates and projections, including data on glaucoma’s prevalence, access to glaucoma treatment, glaucoma device sales, unit demand, average pricing and revenues. The data included in our report is based on journal articles, information presented at major ophthalmic meetings, surveys of glaucoma specialists, interviews with company executives, and analysis of financial data.
Our Report is Organized into Key Areas and Includes:
· The global glaucoma market including a global demographic analysis, the epidemiology of glaucoma, treatment and techniques for glaucoma.
· Overview of the market for glaucoma treatment products covering diagnostic equipment such as tonometers, perimeters, scanning laser ophthalmoscopes (SLOs) and optical coherence tomography (OCT).
· Description and market analysis of ophthalmic laser market including photocoagulation and SLT lasers.
· Description and analysis of glaucoma drainage devices market.
· Description and analysis of single-use items market.
The report also profiles 31 companies involved in the production, development and marketing of glaucoma related products.
The 2008 Comprehensive Report on the Global Glaucoma Device Market is expected to be published in November 2008. Reports are printed in color and spiral bound for ease of reading. The price of the report is $2,650; additional copies are available for use within your company for $300 each.
