In recent years, the diabetic retinopathy market is anticipated to grow rapidly during the forecast period. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most common cause of visual loss worldwide. The duration of hyperglycemia, diabetes and hypertension are the most clinically important risk factors for vision loss progression. Controlling blood sugar and blood pressure has been demonstrated to help prevent vision loss due to diabetic retinopathy. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), the global prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) was around 27% from 2015 to 2019. The lowest rates were found in Europe (20.6%) and Southeast Asia (12.5%), while the most significant rates were found in Africa (33.8%), the Middle East and North Africa (33.8%), and the Western Pacific region (36.2%).
