Furthermore, adoption of strategies such as new product launch and mergers and acquisitions is also expected to contribute to the market growth. For instance, in 2015, Rysurg, a Franklin-based company, launched BlephEx. It is the first device-based procedure used to clean eyelids and also maintain hygiene. According to a study conducted by American Academy of Ophthalmology in 2015, around 50% of ophthalmic patients suffer from symptoms of blepharitis and dry eyes. Constant use of this device helps prevent recurrence of blephairis and the treatment is pain-free. In 2013, Shire Plc. acquired a U.S.-based ophthalmic company, SARcode Bioscience to add new drug – Lifitegrast to Shire’s specialist drug portfolio. Lifitegrast was approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of signs and symptoms of dry eye and blepharitis in 2016.
