Market Definition

A pingueculum is a typical conjunctival growth that is not malignant. This is the transparent, delicate tissue that encircles the eye's white region (sclera). Pinguecula word is derived from the Latin word pinguis, which means "fat" or "grease." The growth occurs in the part of the conjunctiva that is exposed when the eye is open. The risk factors for the progression of pinguecula include exposure to ultraviolet light, trauma, wind, dust and sand, working outdoors for a long duration and advancing age. Individuals having a history of elevated UV exposure and those living closer to the equator have a higher incidence (outdoor work). According to certain research, males have a somewhat higher incidence than females, which could simply be due to a higher rate of UV exposure. It appears as a tiny, yellowish bump on the conjunctiva close to the cornea. It may emerge on either side of the cornea.

North America Pingueculum Drugs Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below

• Rising prevalence of pinguecula disorders and ocular pains

In 2020, according to the published article "Prevalence and associated factors of pinguecula in Western Turkey" by ULAKBİM Journal Systems, the study included 1443 individuals over the age of 20 years of Western Turkey, where it was found that 52.5% of people had pinguecula and out of that 52.5%, the prevalence of pinguecula was higher in males (58.4%), as compared to females (46.8%).

The prevalence of pinguecula disease keeps showing a surge in growth as several environmental and external factors worldwide. Chemical burns and flash burns cause significant and severe ocular pain due to irritations over the eye surface. Thus, the rising prevalence of pinguecula disorder and ocular pain is expected to drive the North America pingueculum drugs market in the forecast period.

• Rise in chronic UV radiation exposure due to ozone defect

In 2019, according to the published journal by "the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology," it was stated that early pinguecula was found to have a prevalence of 39.5% in the temporal conjunctiva and 43.9% in the nasal conjunctiva respectively. That the reported amount of time spent on outdoor activities was 19.6% and 16.1% for less than 2 hours, 44.7% and 52.2% for 4 to 6 hours, respectively and 75.0% in both fields for more than 6 hours, indicates a positive correlation between the prevalence of pinguecula and the amount of time spent on outdoor activities and UV radiation exposure.

There is a correlation between increased exposure to UV and a higher prevalence of pinguecula. This demonstrates that there is a connection between the prevalence of pinguecula and exposure to sunlight. The ozone layer defect is also leading to an increase in the exposure of UV exposure which is increasing the prevalence of pinguecula disorder. Thus, it is expected to drive The North America pingueculum drugs market growth.

• Initiatives and plans to lessen the prevalence of eye illnesses

In 2020, The VISION 2020: The Right to Sight initiative was introduced in 1999 by the World Health Organization (WHO), Geneva, Switzerland and the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB), London, England. The Europe initiative VISION2020 seeks to end avoidable blindness by 2020 and focuses on the main causes of avoidable visual impairment.

According to the article by CDC (Centres for disease control and prevention), in 2022, through Vision Health Initiative (VHI) and diverse stakeholders, CDC initiated a coordinated national public health framework to prevent blindness and vision impairment.

The initiatives and plans are working as an opportunity for the market. Hence, initiatives and plans to lessen the prevalence of eye illness are expected to act as an opportunity for the growth of the North America pingueculum drugs market.

Restraints/Challenges

• Adverse effects of steroid eye drops

Ophthalmologists or optometrists are recommended by patients with mild to severe pinguecula for a thorough examination and prompt treatment. Most often, local tropical steroids, tropical immune modulators, lubricating ointment, gel, or drops are used to treat them.

Prednisolone is the topical steroid that is most frequently used to treat ocular pain. The prednisolone acetate ophthalmic suspension has below mentioned common adverse effects:

• Eyes sting, burn, or itch for one to two minutes after using this medicine
• Vision temporarily obscured
• Increased light sensitivity
• Visual alterations
• Experiencing a foreign object in your eyes
• Allergic responses

Lack of healthcare facilities for eye treatment

As per IntechOpen 2020 report, the prevalence of blindness and ocular disorders in high-income countries is 0.3 per 1000 people, but in low-income countries, the estimation is 1.5 per 1000. This shows the unmet need for ophthalmology care in low-income countries

Another major problem in low-income countries is the lack of awareness regarding ocular pain and other disorders. Many research studies report the high requirement of low-income countries for eye health care and their unmet needs are still gaining attention among many healthcare organizations. Hence, the poor healthcare facility for eye treatments in low and middle-income countries may act as restraints for the growth of the North America pingueculum drugs market.

Post-COVID-19 Impact on the North America Pingueculum Drugs Market

COVID-19 has negatively affected the market. Lockdowns and isolation during the pandemic complicate disease management and medication adherence. The lack of access to healthcare facilities for routine treatment and medication administration will further impact the market.
