Report Highlights

• Eleven Year Forecast of Keratoconus (KC)
• 7MM Coverage
• Total Diagnosed Prevalent Population of Keratoconus (KC)
• As per the publisher's analysis, KC, based on its severity, can be categorized into three types, namely, mild, moderate and severe.
• The publisher has also analysed age-specific data of KC, according to which the overall diagnosed population of KC can be segmented into separate age groups, namely, < 20, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and ≥ 60. Further analysis of this data suggests that KC is more prevalent among the 30-39 age group.
• The current treatment option for KC includes Intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS), Corneal reshaping and Cross-Linking (CXL) along with Riboflavin solutions + UV Light, Keratoplasty and Others (Antihistamine/mast cell-stabilizing topical medications, antihistamines, mast cell stabilizers, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID)).
• The emerging pipeline of KC market possess only one therapy, namely, IVMED-80 Eye Drop, which is being developed by iVeena Delivery Systems. It is non-surgical, non-UV light treatment for medical cross-linking of the cornea. This therapy is currently in its phase I/II clinical developmental stage.
