Some of the key facts of the Corneal edema Market Report:

 

The corneal edema market is projected to witness steady growth over the forecast period (2023–2034), particularly in the United States, where expansion will be driven by the launch of new therapies. In 2022, the U.S. market—dominated by corticosteroids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and other available treatments—generated approximately USD 489 million.

According to DelveInsight estimates, there were about 1,149,967 diagnosed prevalent cases of corneal edema in the U.S. in 2022, with numbers expected to rise throughout the forecast period. Market growth is anticipated to accelerate as innovative therapies such as EO2002 enter the landscape.

Recent regulatory milestones are further shaping the treatment outlook:

  • April 2025: The FDA granted Fast Track designation to urcosimod (formerly OK-101) for neuropathic corneal pain, an indication with no currently approved therapies. The drug, a lipid-conjugated chemerin peptide agonist targeting ChemR23, showed encouraging results in a Phase 2 trial for dry eye disease.

  • December 2024: Glaukos submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) for Epioxa, a non-invasive corneal cross-linking therapy that avoids epithelial removal. If approved, it would become the first FDA-approved treatment of its kind for corneal ectasia.

  • June 2024: The FDA granted both Breakthrough Therapy and Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designations to AURN001, an allogeneic cell therapy for corneal edema secondary to endothelial disease. This one-time procedure, combining neltependocel (allogeneic human corneal endothelial cells) with a rho kinase inhibitor (Y-27632), demonstrated meaningful improvements in visual acuity in the Phase 1/2 CLARA trial, with the high-dose group achieving a statistically significant three-line gain over controls.

Several key players, including Emmetrope Ophthalmics (Emmecell), Trefoil Therapeutics, D. Western Therapeutics Institute (DWTI), Kowa Ltd., Santen Pharmaceutical, Actual Eyes, and others, are actively advancing their pipelines to strengthen the treatment landscape.

Promising investigational therapies such as EO2002, TTHX1114, and additional novel candidates are expected to drive the next wave of innovation in the corneal edema market.

 

 

Corneal edema Overview

 

Corneal edema refers to the swelling of the cornea caused by an abnormal accumulation of fluid within the corneal layers. This fluid buildup disrupts the cornea’s normal transparency, leading to blurred or cloudy vision.

 

The condition typically results from endothelial cell dysfunction or damage, which impairs the cornea’s ability to pump out excess fluid. Common causes include:

  • Fuchs’ endothelial dystrophy

  • Ocular surgery complications (e.g., cataract surgery)

  • Eye trauma or infection

  • Prolonged contact lens wear

  • Elevated intraocular pressure (glaucoma)

 

Corneal edema Market Outlook

 

The management of corneal edema is tailored according to its cause and severity. Initial therapy often involves hypertonic saline drops or ointments and topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and draw out excess corneal fluid. Hyperosmotic agents, including oral or topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, may also be prescribed. Bandage contact lenses can enhance vision by smoothing the corneal surface. When endothelial damage is extensive, surgical procedures such as corneal transplantation—most commonly Descemet’s Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSEK) or Descemet’s Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK)—may be required. In cases associated with secondary glaucoma, laser-based options like Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) can be considered. Supportive measures include addressing underlying conditions and using artificial tears for ocular lubrication. The treatment landscape is continually advancing, with investigational therapies such as TTHX1114 and sirolimus showing potential to broaden future options for managing corneal edema.
