Challenges/Restraints

• Lack of awareness and people trust regarding the benefits of the procedure

In many countries, the general population is not aware of refractive surgery or its various benefits for refractive errors such as myopia astigmatism, presbyopia, and others. People are scared of surgeries that it will lead to some serious side effects which are expected to give a market a great challenge.

For instance,

• According to the study by the National Institute of Health (NIH) 2021, it stated that people refused to undergo surgery because they were worried about its complications and lacked information regarding the procedure. Moreover, the study showed that 82.5% of participants were unaware that refractive surgery could enhance their visual acuity due to the lack of awareness
• According to the study by the International Journal of Medicine in Developing Countries in 2019, it was stated that-
• 32.2% of the total participants thought that refractive surgery was dangerous and 9.5% thought that it causes advanced complications
• Also, the study from India showed that 64% of participants did not know that refractive surgery was able to improve their vision

The lack of awareness regarding the benefits of refractive surgery and people's fear of surgery complications is expected to create a great challenge for the market growth.

• Lack of healthcare facilities for eye treatment

The poverty-stricken population in low- and middle-income countries suffer more from blindness and ophthalmic disorders than the wealthier population. The advancement and strategic plans taken in developed countries are not equally initiated in low-income countries. Many low-income countries usually rely on community health workers, physician assistants, and cataract surgeons for their initial primary eye care. Ophthalmology in low-income countries (LIC) is very challenging due to its complexities such as tropical climates, frail electric grids, poor road and water infrastructure, limited diagnostic capability, and limited treatment options.

For instance,

• As per the article, "Innovative Diagnostic Tools for Ophthalmology in Low-Income Countries," the 2020 report states that the prevalence of blindness and ocular disorders in high-income countries is 0.3 per 1,000 people, but in low-income countries, the estimation is 1.5 per 1,000. This shows the unmet need for ophthalmology care in low-income countries

Another major problem in low-income countries is the lack of awareness among people regarding ocular pain and other disorders. Many research studies report the high requirement of low-income countries for eye health care, and their unmet needs are still gaining attention among many health care organizations.

For instance,

• In 2014, the British Journal of Ophthalmology reported that the vision 2020 plan initiated by the government is still far from achieved due to the lack of initiatives taken targeting middle and low-income countries

Hence, the poor healthcare facility for eye treatments in low and middle-income countries are considered the greatest challenge to the growth of the refractive surgery devices market.
