Eye infections such as conjunctivitis and bacterial keratitis are chronic infections treated by using antibiotics therapy. Furthermore, eye and vision problems also occur due to imbalance in hormone levels, as hormones regulate important body functions and fluctuation in them can affect the eyes and vision. The discovery of advanced prospect molecules and novel combination therapies is expected to boost the growth of the eye drops and lubricants market in near future.

However, longer timelines required for the approval of eye drops and lubricants and risk of associated side effects hamper the market growth. On the contrary, surge in investment by manufacturers in the emerging economies and rise in initiatives to reduce the burden of glaucoma globally are anticipated to offer lucrative opportunities for market expansion.
