REPORT DESCRIPTION
Orthokeratology Market :
The prevalence of myopia and high myopia is increasing worldwide at a significant rate. Myopia is a major
public health concern and high myopia is ranked second, as the leading cause of visual impairment
worldwide. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) 2016 report, in East
Asia, nearly 50% of urban population suffered from myopia and the prevalence among students was around
90%.
Moreover, onset of visual complications from myopia occurs earlier than other causes of blindness such as
cataract and thus its impact on quality of life is also observed earlier. According to the Eye Contact Lens
journal 2018 study, the economic burden of eye diseases in the U.S. is around US$ 139 billion, with nearly
US$ 16 billion spent on myopia correction alone. Therefore, methods for preventing myopia and controlling
its progression have high demand across the globe.
