Ophthalmic lasers are used to treat a wide variety of diseases and conditions, but these devices are primarily used to treat retinal disease, glaucoma, and a common complication to cataract surgery. Use of lasers to treat these ophthalmic conditions has been common practice for more than 20 years, and the last major technical progress was made in the mid 1990s with the introduction of diode lasers to replace the older gas lasers. Also, the introduction of the SLT laser, a treatment breakthrough employing a lower power, shorter pulse version of existing technology, has helped to grow the category.

Worldwide demand for dry eye products is expected to grow more than 12 percent in 2008 due to an aging global population, a growing global middle class, increased use of computers, and more effective dry eye products. Treatments for dry eye can be grouped into the three categories: OTC products, Rx products and punctum plugs.
At the manufacturer level, sales of dry eye medications are forecast to grow at a compounded rate of 11.5 percent to reach $2.3 billion by 2013. Much of the growth during this period will come from prescription-based therapeutic products designed to address the causes of dry eye.
