Artificial Eyes Market Outlook (2024 to 2034)

The global artificial eyes market is approximated to reach a valuation of US$ 2.3 billion in 2024 and further expand at a CAGR of 8.7% to end up at US$ 5.27 billion by the year 2034.

The market is expanding significantly due to the increased demand for custom-made ocular prostheses and the rising frequency of ophthalmic illnesses. The market is growing because of the aging population's increased prevalence of eye problems. The utilization of cutting-edge materials and manufacturing techniques in the creation of artificial eyes is a result of technical breakthroughs, which are contributing to market expansion.

Throughout the projection period, the mechanical segment's market share will rise at a noteworthy pace. Implants that employ mechanical technology let those who are completely blind perceive light and light reflections. The electrodes in this implant activate the retinal cells and provide visual data to the brain. A synthetic retina integrated with nanoscale light sensors is also incorporated in the implants to measure the light passing the lens at the front of the eye.

Because they are permeable, integrated prosthetic eyes facilitate the insertion of pegs or pots and permit fibrovascular ingrowth throughout the implant. These move more easily because of the direct mechanical coupling. Additionally, pegging is a possibility with an integrated implant for increased prosthesis movement. Consequently, it can merge with the overlying structures through a peg system.

Porous polyethylene is a common type of porous implant. This material is employed because of its qualities that indicate excellent tensile strength, biocompatibility, fibrovascular ingrowth, and malleability. Consequently, throughout the projected period, these factors will propel the expansion of the integrated prosthetic eye sector in the global market.

In several countries in North America, such as the United States, Canada, and Mexico, the per capita public expenditure on healthcare is expanding, consequently contributing to the rising use of ocular devices among persons with ocular disorders or early stages of vision impairment.

Improved healthcare infrastructure, government funding and programs for ocular diseases and eye care, favorable reimbursement policies in developed countries, including the United States, and the increasing number of manufacturing companies in the United and Canada are the factors driving the market in North America. As a result, over the projected time, these variables will raise the demand for these implantations in the area.

Recent developments in the field of artificial eyes are expected to trigger an evolution, with continuous redesigns and redevelopments for achieving excellent satisfaction levels and outcomes for patients. Advancements in artificial eyes have primarily been ocularist-led, and include creating methods of taking impressions of eye sockets, changing the size of pupils in distinct lighting conditions, and digital imaging. The majority of the developments made in artificial eyes are based on electro-active polymer technology.

A recent collaboration between academia and industry has seen the emergence of RP&M technologies in artificial eye development. However, several limitations have been observed in the technology’s implementation, despite being in its initial phase. However, continual investment in RP&M technologies for artificial eye development alludes to advancements through further R&D, albeit the limitations are addressed only through the integration of man-made procedures.

Focusing on meeting the expectations and requirements of patients seeking artificial eyes is leading to innovations in the treatment process and aftercare needs. In combination with enhanced accessibility, a patient-centered approach is witnessing increased application of technological advancements in the development of artificial eyes. However, the lack of resources has meant that continual development is confined to the field of artificial eyes.

Adaptive metalens has been developed by researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS). The researchers have combined breakthroughs in artificial muscle technology and adaptive metalens for tuning the artificial eye’s focus in real-time, similar to the human eye. The researchers are currently focused on improving the functionality of metalens. Such research efforts will positively affect the growth of the artificial eyes market.

An artificial eye improves the appearance of people who have lost an eye due to injury or disease. An artificial eye is also known as a prosthetic eye or glass eye. Implantation of an artificial eye is preferred or recommended after an eye is removed surgically due to disease or damage. The implanted artificial eye supports the proper eyelid functioning. Injury, glaucoma, infection inside the eye, and eye tumors are some of the reasons for removing the natural eye and implanting an artificial one.

After the placement of a natural eye with an artificial eye, a person will no longer have vision in that eye. Artificial eyes cannot restore the vision of the person but it fills the cavity of the eye socket and serves as a cosmetic enhancement. Artificial eyes are generally made of an acrylic plastic polymer called polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).

In addition, silicone polymers are also used to make artificial eyes. The shape of an artificial eye is like a shell. An artificial eye moves but often not as briskly as other healthy eyes. Artificial eyes are made from digital technology and have become so close to looking like real eyes.

According to the Society for the Prevention of Blindness, it is estimated that around 10,000 to 12,000 people per year lose an eye. Out of which around 50% or more eye losses are caused by an accident.

The global artificial eyes market is expected to see remarkable growth in the forecast period due to increasing number demand by a large number of patient population. Furthermore, an encouraging sign is observed in the market with changing consumer trends.

Other factors such as increasing prevalence and incidence of eye-related disease, changing lifestyle patterns, and increasing accident cases are the factors that are fueling the growth of the global artificial eyes market. However, factors like tough competition among the key players, and side effects of common medication are the major factors hampering the growth of the global artificial eyes market.
