Increasing Initiatives for Eye Care Awareness Boost Asia Pacific Dry Eye Products Market
In recent years, various initiatives have been taken to create awareness and educate people regarding eye diseases, prompting patients to access suitable medications and treatments. For instance, as a part of the Avoidable Blindness Program (ABP) (launched in 2021), Novartis worked with its partners across Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia to access to its eye care products in 2022. ABP focuses on moderate to severe vision damage caused by glaucoma and retinal conditions that are responsible for a large proportion of preventable blindness.
The International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) launched the global campaign named "Love Your Eyes" in 2022 to raise awareness of the socioeconomic importance of eye health. The campaign calls upon governments and global institutions to support eye health. The IAPB emphasizes programs and initiatives in India and the world, which promptly focus on offering accessible, available, and affordable eye care. The "Love Your Eyes" program also calls for regulation changes and funding to make eye care accessible, available, and affordable by 2030.
In December 2022, Research to Prevent Blindness selected the John A. Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah for the unlimited annual grant of US$ 115,000 to support eye research. As of December 2021, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) supported a partnership between Aravind Eye Hospital (India) and Kellogg Eye Center to develop a clinical research training program for eyecare professionals. As a part of this initiative, the NIH awarded US$ 1.1 million to support training programs in Ann Arbor (US) and offered seed funding for the participants. In addition, the India-US Collaborative Vision Research Program 2020 focuses on advancing science and technology to understand, prevent, and treat blinding visual disorders, eye diseases, and associated complications. The Indian Department of Biotechnology and the US National Eye Institute funded this research program.
Thus, increasing funds for eyecare research and rising initiatives to spread awareness about eye care are likely to create new opportunities in the dry eye product market in the coming years.
