Mydriasis - Epidemiology Forecast - 2034

Key Highlights

• The analysis anticipates that among EU4 and the UK, Germany had the highest cases of eye exams and ophthalmic surgeries, with nearly 29 million cases in 2023. Out of the total surgeries, cataract surgery accounted for the highest with nearly 920 thousand cases. These cases are expected to change during the study period.
• Total eye examinations and surgery accounted for nearly 352 million cases in 2023, in the 7MM. The US accounted for approximately 53.0% of these cases, while EU4 and the UK together comprised 32.3% and Japan accounted for 14.8%.
• The EU4 and the UK accounted for approximately 120 thousand cases of glaucoma surgery in 2023, which is further expected to increase and reach up to 150 thousand cases by 2034.
• The analyst's analysis indicates that in 2023, Japan accounted for 29 million cases of dilation in eye examination and 2.5 million cases of dilation in surgery. This is expected to change by 2034.

Mydriasis Disease Understanding

Mydriasis Overview

Mydriasis is the medical term for an unusual dilation or widening of the pupils that does not constrict in response to light. The condition results from disrupting the normal balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The main causes of mydriasis include anticholinergic medications, eye injuries, increased oxytocin levels, recreational drug use, and certain medical conditions like benign episodic unilateral mydriasis.

The main symptoms of mydriasis include light sensitivity, blurred vision, headaches, and eye irritation. In severe cases, fixed mydriasis could indicate raised intracranial pressure, necessitating immediate medical attention.

To diagnose mydriasis, a doctor will perform a physical exam and take a medical history to determine the underlying cause. They may also conduct tests like a CT scan or MRI to check for brain injuries or other conditions.

Mydriasis Epidemiology

For the purpose of designing the patient-based model for mydriasis, the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by total cases of eye examinations and ophthalmic surgeries, and total cases of dilation in eye examination and ophthalmic surgeries in the 7MM covering the United States, EU4 countries (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain) and the United Kingdom, and Japan, from 2020 to 2034.

• The analyst's analysts estimate that among the 7MM, there were 338 million cases of eye exams or routine check-ups in 2023, with approximately 203 million of these involving pupil dilation. These numbers are expected to increase during the study period (2020-2034).
• Based on the analyst's estimations among the 7MM, the US accounted for approximately 53%, EU4 and the UK for nearly 32%, and Japan for around 15% of the total eye exams and ophthalmic surgeries in 2023.
• The US accounted for approximately 180 million total eye exams or routine check-ups in 2023. These cases are projected to increase during the forecast period (2024-2034) due to an aging population leading to a higher prevalence of age-related eye conditions, necessitating more frequent eye care.
• In 2023, EU4 and the UK recorded approximately 108 million total eye exams or routine check-ups, with Germany having the highest number among them, accounting for approximately 28 million cases. Out of these 65 million cases of dilation were found in EU4 and the UK, in 2023.
• In 2023, Japan recorded around 49 million eye exams or routine check-ups, with 30 million of these involving pupil dilation. These numbers are expected to change during the study period.
• The total number of cataract surgery cases in the US was approximately 4 million in 2023, and these surgery cases are expected to increase during the forecast period (2024-2034).

KOL Views

To gaze into the epidemiology insights of the real world, we take KOLs and SMEs’ opinions working in the domain through primary research to fill the data gaps and validate our secondary research on disease prevalence.

The analysts connected with 20+ KOLs to gather insights; however, interviews were conducted with 10+ KOLs in the 7MM. Centers such as the University of Texas, University of Minnesota Medical School, Universitäts-Augenklinik, Germany, University Hospital Necker Enfants-Malades, France, and others were contacted.

Their opinion helps understand and validate current disease prevalence, gender involved with the disease, diagnosis rate, and diagnostic criteria.
“Mydriasis, or pupil dilation, often leads to poor vision, photophobia, fatigue, and eye pain, affecting around 100 million people in the US. Additionally, mydriasis can be induced intentionally during eye check-ups and surgeries like glaucoma treatment, vitrectomy, and others to allow better visualization of the retina and other internal structures with recovery times ranging from three to eight hours, sometimes extending up to 24 hours.”
“We believe patients aged 65 and older should have a dilated eye exam annually, as nothing fully replaces this procedure. Unfortunately, less than about 60% of the 93 million high-risk adults in the US received a dilated eye exam.”
