According to FutureWise analysis the market for aphakia is expected to reach US$ 4.32 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 11.40%.
Aphakia refers to a medical condition where the lens of the eye is missing. The lens, located behind the iris and pupil, is essential for focusing light onto the retina, which is necessary for clear vision. When the lens is absent, the eye's ability to focus diminishes, often resulting in blurred vision.
The most common cause of aphakia is cataract surgery, during which a natural lens becomes clouded, is removed, and is frequently replaced with an intraocular lens (IOL). In certain situations, particularly in infants or confident older children, an IOL may not be implanted, leaving the individuals aphakic. Traumatic injuries to the eye can also result in damage to the lens or even complete lens loss. Rare congenital conditions can also result in individuals being born without lenses or with lenses that are malformed.
Symptoms of aphakia typically include blurred vision, especially when attempting to see close objects, and challenges in adjusting focus between varying distances. Color perception may be altered, and the absence of a lens or IOL can lead to the phenomenon known as iridodenesis, where the iris appears to move or jiggle.
To diagnose aphakia, a thorough eye examination by an ophthalmologist is necessary, often involving the use of a slit lamp and a bright light for detailed inspection. In cases of congenital aphakia detected in unborn babies, ultrasound technology may be employed.
Treatment for aphakia usually entails surgical implantation of an intraocular lens, which serves to replace the absent or damaged lens. For newborns, this surgery might be postponed to minimize potential complications. For infants who are not candidates for immediate IOL replacement, specialized contact lenses can be used to ensure clear vision. Adults also have the option of using aphakic contact lenses or glasses. Timely intervention for babies and children with aphakia is crucial to mitigate the risk of amblyopia, a condition where there is a disconnect between the brain and the eye, potentially leading to irreversible vision loss.
