Artificial Eye Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The increasing prevalence of ophthalmic diseases is notably driving the artificial eye market growth, although factors such as high device and implantation costs may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the artificial eye industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Artificial Eye Market Driver
The increasing prevalence of ophthalmic diseases is one of the key drivers supporting the artificial eye market growth. Ophthalmic disorders such as glaucoma pose a significant public health concern as the disorder is the second leading cause of blindness after cataracts. It is estimated that 57.5 million people globally are suffering from primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). People aged above 60 years are more prone to develop glaucoma. By 2040, it is expected that approximately 111.8 million people will suffer from glaucoma. Thus, the growing prevalence of age-related ocular disorders has generated significant opportunities in the field of ophthalmic surgeries, which will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Key Artificial Eye Market Trend
Increasing demand for custom-made ocular prosthesis is one of the key artificial eye market trends contributing to the market growth. An ocular prosthesis acts as an artificial substitute for an enucleated eyeball. It can either be ready-made (stock) or custom-made. A stock prosthesis is available in the market in a standard size, color, and shape. However, a custom-made prosthesis is made of high-quality acrylic material, which can be customized accurately according to the eye socket of the patient, and it is painted to match the color of the other eye. Although the custom-made ocular prosthesis is accepted by many patients, they are required to be maintained carefully by minimizing handling of the prosthesis by patients as frequent removal of an ocular prosthesis may lead to watering of the eye, fluid discharge, eyelid laxity, eyelid eversion, and inadequate space to fit the prosthesis. Thus, the growing demand for customized and personalized care will increase the use of custom-made ocular prosthesis and will drive the artificial eye market during the forecast period.
Key Artificial Eye Market Challenge
High device and implantation costs is one of the factors hampering the artificial eye market growth. The cost of artificial eyes typically ranges between $2,500 to $8,300 depending on the type of the devices and the geographic location. The cost burden further increases with consultation fees by physicians and the costs of surgery required to remove the eyes. For instance, at Kolberg Ocular Prosthetics (Kolberg Custom Artificial Eyes) in California, the cost of custom artificial eyes ranges between $1,800 and $2,500. At D. Danz and Sons, the cost of custom ocular prosthetics ranges between $2,500 and $8,300 in the US. Thus, many patients are unable to afford the high costs associated with prosthetic eyes, especially in most emerging countries such as India, with a large pool of low-middle income population, which is inhibiting the growth of the market during the forecast period.
This artificial eye market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.

The artificial eye market share growth in the integrated prosthetic eye segment will be significant during the forecast period. Evidence suggests that human osteoblasts and fibroblasts appear to grow better on bioceramics when compared with their growth on hydroxyapatite. Therefore, bioceramic is more biocompatible than hydroxyapatite, less expensive than hydroxyapatite, and can be adequately tolerated in the eye socket. Various advantages of integrated prosthetic eyes lead to their increased adoption among individuals with ocular defects. Such factors will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
