Advanced Devices Used in Ocular Surgery Receive Approval from Various Regulatory Bodies
Ocular surgery, commonly known as eye surgery is a surgery done on an eye for the treatment of various eye-related diseases. The surgery is typically performed by an ophthalmologist. The eye is such a delicate organ and needs extreme care before, during, and even after a surgery procedure to prevent or limit further damage to the eyesight.
Ocular Surgery includes cataract surgery, corneal surgery, eye removal, eye muscle surgery, glaucoma surgery, laser eye surgery, oculoplastic surgery, refractive surgery, surgery involving the lacrimal apparatus, vitreoretinal surgery, and other surgeries. Oculoplastic surgery includes eyelid surgery, orbital surgery, and other oculoplastic surgery.
Increasing number of eye-related disorders boosts demand for various devices used in ocular surgery. According to the BrightFocus Foundation, January 2019, around 11 million people in the U.S. suffered from macular degeneration, which is expected to double to nearly 22 million by 2050. The U.S. is witnessing adoption of advanced technologies for the treatment and management of various eye diseases. In October 2019, Horizon Eye Specialists & Lasik Center, an eye care center in the U.S., started offering the latest generation in multifocal implants, the AcrySof IQ PanOptix lens by Alcon.
In Europe, various manufacturers of devices used in Ocular Surgery are focused on approval and launch of new devices. In May 2020, Samsara Vision, a developer of visual prosthetic devices for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration, received CE Mark for the Tsert-SI delivery system for the CentraSight treatment program.
Ocular eye surgery is quite a complicated medical procedure. Before having this surgery, it is important that you learn as much about the operation as possible. The more you know before the day of the surgery, the less likely you are to experience stress or complications.
