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 denotes the condition in which the eye lacks a lens. The lens, positioned behind the iris and pupil, is crucial in directing light onto the retina, facilitating clear vision. Without this lens, the eye's capacity to focus is compromised, resulting in blurred vision. The primary cause of aphakia is cataract surgery, where a clouded natural lens is removed and often replaced with an intraocular lens (IOL). An IOL might not be implanted in some cases, such as infants and confident older children, leaving them aphakic. Trauma to the eye can also result in the loss or damage of the lens. Additionally, rare congenital disabilities can cause individuals to be born without lenses or with abnormal ones. Aphakia manifests through symptoms such as blurred vision, particularly for close-up tasks, and difficulty adjusting focus between distances. Colour perception may also be affected, and a "jiggly" iris or iridodenesis can occur due to the absence of a lens or IOL's stabilizing effect.
Diagnosis of aphakia involves a comprehensive eye examination by an ophthalmologist, typically using a slit lamp and bright light. In cases of congenital aphakia in unborn babies, ultrasound may be utilized for detection. Treatment for aphakia generally involves surgery to implant an IOL, which replaces the damaged or absent lens. IOL implantation might be performed in newborns in subsequent surgery to minimize complications. Special contact lenses can provide clear vision in babies unsuitable for immediate IOL replacement. Adults can also opt for aphakic contact lenses or glasses. Prompt treatment for babies and children with aphakia is crucial to prevent the development of amblyopia, a condition where the brain disconnects from the eye, leading to irreversible vision impairment.
