PEDIATRIC VITRECTOMY MARKET ANALYSIS

Market Challenges And Opportunities

Global Pediatric Vitrectomy Market Restraints

The pediatric vitrectomy procedure is associated with side effects such as bacterial infection, inflammation, bleeding inside eyes, cataract formation or progression of existing cataracts, and increased pressure (glaucoma) or reduced pressure in the eye. Moreover, to heal the serious condition of eye during surgery, silicon oil is used as a vitreous substitute, which can affect patient’s vision for weeks or for a month that further leads to another procedure for removal of silicon oil after several months of pediatric vitrectomy procedure. Furthermore, recovery from eye surgery is more challenging, as the patients have to struggle with the stress and discomfort of a 23-hour a-day facedown postoperative position. These factors are expected to restrain the global pediatric vitrectomy market growth.
