Growth in the pipeline of dry eye disease therapeutics
is anticipated over next few years on account of increasing incidences of
people being diagnosed with diabetes and deficiency of vitamins such as A and
B, which is majorly caused due to change in dietary intake and unhealthy
lifestyle. This in turn leads to increase in risk of ocular infections and other
bothersome symptoms such as visual disturbance, ocular discomfort and fatigue,
in people. To overcome these problems, increasing number of companies are engaged
in the process of developing drugs and devices that would assist in curing the disease.
On the back of this, growth in the therapeutics pipeline of dry eye disease is
anticipated. Additionally, increase in healthcare awareness and knowledge
related to the various problem caused by environmental factors such as
pollution, are also contributing to the growth of the pipeline.

Dry eye disease usually occurs when eyes do not produce
tears or the same is done in inconsistent proportion, due to which eyes lack
moisture. The dry eye disease is also associated with inflammation in eye which
can cause pain, scar on cornea, ulcer and sometimes, permanent loss of vision,
due to which a person is unable to read properly and perform the daily tasks.
The dry eye disease is also known as, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, dysfunctional
tear disease, lacrimal keratoconjunctivitis, evaporative tear deficiency,
LASIK-induced neurotrophic epitheliopathy and aqueous tear deficiency. The dry
eye disease can be broadly classified into - aqueous tear-deficient dry eye and
evaporative dry eye. The aqueous tear-deficient dry eye is a condition in which
the lacrimal glands are unable to produce tears; whereas, evaporative dry eye
problem occurs due to inflammation of meibomian glands.
Some of the companies having a pipeline of dry eye disease therapeutics include, Parion Sciences, Inc., Allergan Plc, Genentech, Inc., Kissei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., ReGenTree, LLC, Cell Cure Neurosciences Ltd., Regenerative Patch Technologies, LLC, Topivert Pharma Ltd.
