Glaucoma is a group of related eye disorders where the patient does not feel any pain and does not show any symptoms until noticeable loss of vision occurs. Glaucoma damages the optic nerve, which carries information about object seen by person from the eye to the brain. Most of the glaucoma cases are associated with ocular hypertension. Ocular hypertension is defined as a condition where the pressure inside the eye becomes higher than normal pressure. However, often glaucoma can also occur when intraocular pressure is normal. If not treated on time, glaucoma initially causes peripheral vision loss and gradually leads to permanent blindness.

Increasing cases of glaucoma around the world are boosting the global glaucoma treatment market growth. Due to increasing technological advancement in medical sector, now detection of glaucoma is easy and more cases are coming to light. Other factors driving the market growth include increasing aging population across the globe and increasing the prevalence of diabetes.
Glaucoma is a slow progressing disorder. Amidst the pandemic, in many countries, government healthcare facilities have stopped performing elective surgeries that include glaucoma surgeries. American Academy of Ophthalmology have instructed healthcare facilities under its command to safely postpone non-critical ophthalmic surgeries particularly in elderly patients with comorbidities. Hence, many people are consuming therapeutic products to delay the progression of glaucoma.
Growing innovation of new technology in healthcare industry has not left the optical care untouched. Glaucoma treatment is a big concern in the healthcare sector and market participants are introducing innovative treatment modalities to efficiently cure the on-going ailment. For instance, based in San Clemente, California, the Glaukos Corporation was the first to introduce iStent and iDose devices that were helpful in the microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) space. iStent trabecular micro-bypass stent helps to place implant into the eye in order to relieve pressure and preserve the long-term vision of the patient. It has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Measuring only 0.23 mm by 0.36 mm, iStent is believed to be the smallest medical device that is known to be implanted in humans. The iDose implant allowed the surgeon to inject two stents into the Schlemm’s canal eye vessel, which increased the likelihood of implant ending up adjacent to a collector channel.
Open – Angle Glaucoma held the Largest Market Share in 2020

Open-angle glaucoma is the most common type in the United States of America (USA), where 9 in 10 people with glaucoma suffer from open – angle glaucoma. Many people do not experience any symptoms until they start to lose their vision. When the pressure which is a symptom of glaucoma damages the optic nerve, the patient's vision gets affected. Two out of ten African Americans suffer from blindness caused by open-angle glaucoma. People with high blood pressure are also prone to open – angle glaucoma.
Demand for Combination Medication to Rapidly Grow over the Forecast Period (2021 – 2029)

Although in 2020, alpha adrenergic agonists segment held the largest market share. The combination medication can treat complicated and fast progressing glaucoma in rare cases.
