Age-Related Vision Dysfunction Pipeline Analysis Report 2025

Age-related vision dysfunction (ARVD) refers to a group of age-related conditions, including presbyopia, that impair visual function over time. According to Maria Markoulli et al., 2024, the global all-ages prevalence of functional presbyopia is projected to stabilize at 24.1% by 2030, impacting approximately 2.1 billion people due to population growth and rising myopia. As per the age-related vision dysfunction pipeline analysis by Expert Market Research, therapeutic developments are increasingly focused on gene therapies, complement inhibitors, and long-acting ocular treatments. The growth in the treatment landscape is expected in the coming years, particularly driven by technological advancements, rising awareness, and the expanding aging population.

Age-Related Vision Dysfunction Pipeline Outlook

Age-related vision dysfunction refers to a decline in visual function due to aging, commonly including conditions such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataracts, and presbyopia. It results from retinal cell degeneration, oxidative stress, and reduced ocular blood flow, leading to blurred or distorted vision and difficulty in low-light conditions.

Treatments for age-related vision dysfunction include anti-VEGF injections, cataract surgery, and corrective lenses. Pharmacological strategies focus on slowing disease progression and improving visual acuity through targeted therapies. According to J Jesus Rodriguez-Cruz et al., 2025, Brolucizumab is a notable pipeline drug. It is a small, humanized antibody fragment targeting all VEGF-A isoforms, providing enhanced retinal penetration, high binding affinity, reduced ocular inflammation, and improved best-corrected visual acuity.

Age-Related Vision Dysfunction Epidemiology

The pipeline is expanding to address the growing prevalence of presbyopia and other vision impairments. According to Maria Markoulli et al., 2024, functional presbyopia affected 1.8 billion people globally in 2015, with prevalence projected to reach 2.1 billion by 2030 due to population growth. Prabhakar Singh et al., 2025, reported that presbyopia accounted for 71.8% of near visual impairment in the Brazilian Amazon, with symptomatic onset typically between ages 40 and 45 and near-universal prevalence by 60. Rising life expectancy, an aging global population, and increased digital screen usage are driving demand for novel therapeutic interventions and innovative drug candidates targeting this condition.

Age-Related Vision Dysfunction Pipeline Assessment Segmentation, By Drug Classes

The drug molecule categories covered under the age-related vision dysfunction pipeline analysis include small molecules, monoclonal antibodies, gene therapies, peptides, and polymers. The age-related vision dysfunction report provides a comparative analysis of the drug classes for each drug in various phases of clinical trials for age-related vision dysfunction. According to Macular Degeneration Research in July 2025, tyrosine kinase inhibitors are emerging as a promising drug class for wet age-related macular degeneration. These drugs target enzymes upstream of vascular endothelial growth factor to prevent abnormal blood vessel growth. Implants delivering these inhibitors have shown potential to reduce the frequency of injections. Moreover, combination therapies targeting VEGF and inflammatory pathways, including interleukin-6 or the complement system, are under evaluation to enhance visual outcomes and retinal protection.

Drug: Iptacopan (LNP023)

Iptacopan (LNP023) is a highly potent oral factor B inhibitor being developed by Novartis Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, participant and investigator-masked, placebo-controlled study is examining Iptacopan’s safety and efficacy in preventing the progression of early or intermediate AMD to incomplete retinal pigment epithelium and outer retinal atrophy (iRORA) or late AMD. The study is enrolling approximately 146 participants worldwide, focusing on high-risk patients.

Genetic: ADVM-022

ADVM-022 is a gene therapy drug sponsored by Adverum Biotechnologies, Inc., and it is designed for treating neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). This Phase 2 study is examining the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of a single intravitreal injection of ADVM-022 at two different doses, alongside prophylactic corticosteroid regimens. The drug encodes aflibercept, an anti-VEGF protein, enabling retinal cells to continuously produce it, aiming to reduce frequent injections and improve long-term vision outcomes in nAMD patients.
