Macular edema is a condition in which the retinal layers around the fovea is accumulated by the fluid that leads to the vision impairment and also might lead to the vision loss. Macular edema can be of two types, namely cystoid macular edema and diabetic macular edema. In addition to this, the macular degeneration is a condition in which the loss of vision occurs due to the retinal damage and it majorly affects adults (>50 years). Macular degeneration is a painless disease condition that leads to the loss of central vision. Macular degeneration is of two types, namely wet macular degeneration and dry macular degeneration. Growing aging population has increasingly become an issue that leads to the growing number of macular edema and degeneration case, contributing to the growth of the market. The therapies such as anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs for the treatment of diabetic macular edema and Lucentis (ranibizymab) & Avastin drugs for the macular degeneration have played a significant role in the growth of global macular edema and degeneration market.
