Lack of sufficient quality tears to lubricate and nourish the eye is the root cause of Dry Eye Syndrome (DES), also known as Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca (KCS), a common ophthalmic illness. Redness, stinging, scratching, or burning sensation, sensitivity to light, watery eyes, stringy mucus surrounding the eye, and blurred vision are some of the symptoms. The prevalence of dry eye was 8.4% in those younger than 60 years old, 15% in those 70-79 years old, and 20% in those older than 80 years old, according to a study published in BMC Ophthalmology in February 2022.
In addition, age-related declines in lacrimal gland function contribute to the onset of this illness. Postmenopausal women have also shown increased rates of the illness. The overall prevalence of DED symptoms was 79%, and was increasing rapidly in postmenopausal women, according to a research released in June 2021 by the National Library of Medicine in a cohort of 1947 perimenopausal and postmenopausal women aged 45 to 79 years. During the projected period, the global market is expected to develop due to the rising need for therapeutic measures caused by these tendencies.

Additionally, after the COVID-19 epidemic, various medical groups observed an increase in occurrences of dry eye due to the widespread use of face masks. The trend towards mask use is projected to persist into the foreseeable future as the prevalence of other infectious diseases, especially those spread by the air, rises.
