Future Trends in Global Corneal Implant Market
A corneal implant serves as an intermediary solution between contact lenses and corneal transplants, primarily aimed at treating keratoconus—a degenerative eye condition characterized by thinning of the cornea, which causes it to adopt a conical shape instead of its usual gradual curvature. Corneal implants are designed for long-term vision correction and offer several advantages, such as being an outpatient procedure and having a less invasive nature compared to full corneal transplants.
