A confluence of rising vision expectations and technological innovations will drive the development of a large market for treatment of presbyopia. This rapidly developing market is still in its infancy with 2008 revenues at the manufacturer level of $307 million, and the market is expected to grow to $1.5 billion by 2013. Much of this market growth will still occur after 2013 as new technologies, which will drive increased demand, reach the market. Procedure volumes of 419 thousand in 2008 are expected to grow to 9.3 million by 2020.

 

Today, options for treatment of presbyopia remain limited, risks of complications are significant and many compromises are required. Together, these factors currently reduce the value proposition for the surgical correction of presbyopia. Yet some of the products that will serve this evolving market are available today, as well as a growing network of laser centers and surgery centers prepared to offer refractive surgery, a rapidly growing senior population segment with more active and demanding lifestyles and increasing affluence worldwide.

 

The Comprehensive Report on the Presbyopia-Correcting Surgery Market was published in February 2009 and is printed in color and spiral bound for ease of reading. The price of the report is $3,650; additional copies are available for use within your company for $300 each.
