Diabetic Retinopathy Epidemiology Forecast Report Coverage

Expert Market Research's “Diabetic Retinopathy Epidemiology Forecast Report 2026-2035” offers comprehensive information on the prevalence and demographics of diabetic retinopathy. It projects the future incidence and prevalence rates of diabetic retinopathy across various populations. The study covers age and type as major determinants of the diabetic retinopathy-affected population. The report highlights patterns in the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy over time and projects future trends based on multiple variables.

Diabetic Retinopathy: Disease Overview

Diabetic retinopathy is a progressive eye disease which occurs due to prolonged high blood sugar levels in diabetic patients leading to damage in the blood vessels of the retina. It goes through several stages, from proliferative diabetic retinopathy, where new abnormal blood vessels grow and cause bleeding and vision loss, to mild non-proliferative retinopathy, characterized by slight swelling in retinal vessels. Blurred vision, floaters, trouble seeing color, and in extreme situations, blindness, are some of the symptoms. The disease is more likely to occur when risk factors like high cholesterol, hypertension, and poor blood sugar control are present.

Diabetic Retinopathy: Treatment Overview

The treatment for the disease depends on the severity and stage of diabetic retinopathy determine. Anti-VEGF injections (such as ranibizumab or aflibercept) or corticosteroid injections may be used to treat macular edema, or swelling in the central retina, in order to improve vision. Leaking blood vessels can also be sealed with laser treatment, also known as focal laser therapy. Treatment intensifies when proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) reaches advanced stages. Pan-retinal photocoagulation (PRP), a type of laser therapy, is used to shrink abnormal blood vessels and prevent further growth. In cases of severe bleeding or retinal detachment, a surgical procedure called vitrectomy is performed to remove blood or scar tissue from the vitreous gel and repair the retina.

Epidemiology

The diabetic retinopathy epidemiology section offers information on the patient pool from history to the present as well as the projected trend for each of the 8 major markets. Expert Market Research provides both current and predicted trends for diabetic retinopathy by examining a wide range of studies. Additionally, the report covers the diagnosed patient pool for diabetic retinopathy and their trends. The data is broken down into specific categories, such as the total diagnosed cases across different age groups and patient pools.

• The International Diabetic Federation estimated that the global prevalence of diabetic retinopathy was more than 25% in 2019. The number of people who are blind due to diabetic retinopathy grew from 0.2 million to 0.4 million globally. Moreover, approximately 80% of people with type 2 diabetes are expected to develop retinopathy.
• According to the Centers for Disease Control, an estimated 9.6 million people in the United States were living with diabetic retinopathy in 2021.
• According to the study conducted by NCBI in 21 districts of India, it was revealed that the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy among persons with diabetes was 16.9%, the prevalence of STDR was 3.6%, and the prevalence of mild retinopathy was 11.8%.
• According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, 3%–4.1% of Europeans are affected by diabetic retinopathy.
