The open angle glaucoma market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Open Angle Glaucoma Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034". Open angle glaucoma refers to a chronic, irreversible, and progressive multifactorial optic neuropathy in which the pressure inside the eye increases. It is mainly characterized by an open angle of the anterior chamber, changes to the optic nerve head, and progressive loss of peripheral vision, followed by the loss of the central visual field. There aren't any noticeable indications of this ailment in the early stage, but in the advanced stage, the condition manifests as reduced vision, eye pain or pressure, a swollen or bulging cornea, redness in the white of the eye, rainbow-colored halos around lights, headaches, nausea, vomiting, etc. The diagnosis of open angle glaucoma typically requires a combination of the patient's clinical features, medical history, and eye examination. Other common assessment tools utilized to confirm a diagnosis include pachymetry, slit-lamp exam, gonioscopy, visual field and visual acuity tests, etc. The healthcare provider may also perform optical coherence tomography to detect changes in the optic nerve that may cause the disease.


The rising cases of eye disorders, which increase resistance in the drainage canals and damage the optic nerve, are primarily driving the open angle glaucoma market. Besides this, the growing prevalence of several associated risk factors, including advanced age, family history, obesity, systemic diseases like diabetes and hypertension, etc., is also augmenting the market growth. Furthermore, the widespread adoption of effective medications, such as alpha-2 adrenergic agonists and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, which decrease aqueous production and enhance uveoscleral outflow, thereby providing symptom relief, is creating a positive outlook for the market. Apart from this, the inflating utilization of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), owing to its numerous advantages, including improved outflow of fluid from the eye and faster recovery with potentially fewer side effects than traditional surgeries, is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Moreover, the emerging popularity of bimatoprost intracameral implant for treating the ailment, since it releases drugs directly to the targeted tissues and lowers intraocular pressure among patients, is expected to drive the open angle glaucoma market in the coming years.
