Refractory Glaucoma Treatment Market Professional Survey Report 2018-2026

Refractory Glaucoma Treatment Market Size,
Share, Trend, Outlook, Future Analysis And
Synthesis By 2026
Globally, Glaucoma is on rise. According to the Glaucoma research Foundation, Glaucoma is the leading
cause of irreversible blindness globally. Nearly 10% of the glaucoma patients who receive proper
treatment still experience a loss of vision. Around 64.3 million people were estimated to be having
glaucoma globally in 2013. Furthermore, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the
current prevalence is high in Africa, and Latin America. Patients who fail to respond to medications,
undergo trabeculectomy surgery. However, few patients do not get completely relieved from glaucoma
even after trabeculectomy surgery. Therefore, novel treatment options are required to be introduced for
providing relief to such patients. Reducing intra-ocular pressure is the most important long term medical
need of refractory glaucoma patients.

Future Market Dynamics
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the global prevalence of glaucoma is estimated
to rise to 76 million in 2020 and 111.8 million in 2040. Rapidly aging population will be one of the
important factors for the increasing prevalence rate. There would be a disproportionate rise in the
prevalence in people residing in Asia and Africa. Slower adoption rate and high cost of the surgery is
limiting the market growth of refractory glaucoma treatment devices in emerging nations where cataract
surgery is the largely performed eye surgery. With new devices and technology being introduced, there
could be a strong wave of growth experienced in the North America and European markets.
Refractory Glaucoma Treatment Options
The global refractory glaucoma treatment market can be characterized based on the treatment options
and devices available in the market.
Ahmed Glaucoma Valve from New World Medical Inc., is a good treatment option available
since 1993 for refractory glaucoma. This device also has applications in primary open angle
glaucoma unresponsive to medication, neovascular glaucoma, and congenital or infantile
glaucoma. Various studies have reflected the positive outcomes of using Ahmed Glaucoma Valve
in refractory glaucoma both in pediatrics and adults. Therefore, this device is in very high
demand and usage globally.

Alternate option like CyPass Micro-Stent from Transcend Medical showed impressive results in patients
with primary open-angle glaucoma. CyPass is a micro-invasive surgery which according to the FDA
guidelines needs to be performed in combination with cataract surgery. This is restricting the wider
acceptance among patients due to increased cost.
Clinical trials of Xen System showed positive results with 44% reduction in eye pressure and 65%
reduction in IOP medications in one year period. The Xen gel stent form Allergan reduces IOP with a
permanent implant that becomes flexible, allowing doctors to use IOP reduction therapies event after the
Xen implantation. Allergan received U.S. FDA approval for Xen Gel stent in November 2016. The
company plans to launch the Xen Gel stent in the U.S. market, for refractory glaucoma treatment, in
early 2017. The Xen system has already received CE mark and has distributed more than 10,500 stents
globally. Moreover, the new surgical system is also licensed for use in Canada, Switzerland, and Turkey.
Iridex Corporation, a global provider of innovative laser systems, device and consumables in
ophthalmology announced at the European Glaucoma Society held in June 2016 about the positive
results of its MicroPulse P3 (MP3) device. The device powered with MicroPulse laser technology showed
long term benefits for patients with refractory glaucoma. Few detailed studies with successful outcomes
could lead global acceptance of this technology in future.
