In the latest report published by Market Research Future (MRFR), the global corneal surgery devices market is projected to grow at 5.2% CAGR throughout the forecast period (2017-2023).
The magnifying prevalence of ophthalmic disorders has catapulted the market growth for corneal surgery devices. According to World Health Organization (WHO), in 2014, 285 Million people from all over the world were gauged to be visually impaired, out of which 246 Million had low vision, and 39 Million people were completely blind. As much as 82% of the people living with blindness were aged over 50. Therefore, it can be inferred that the growing senile population is also one of the major factors responsible for the growth of corneal surgery devices market during the assessment period.

The rising demand for cornea exceeds its supply which has inspired a team from Newcastle University in the UK to bioengineer a world-first artificial cornea using 3D printing technology. The cornea is built using a ‘bio-ink’ which comprises stem cells from a healthy donor cornea, alginate gel, and collagen. This solution is then extruded into concentric circles to form an artificial cornea, and the stem cells grow around this scaffolding. The corneas will be ready for human eyes in about five years after going through specific trials. Once this technology is adopted, it can help millions of people regain their eyesight.
