Rise in prevalence of ophthalmic disorders, growing geriatric population, rise in demand for safe and effective ophthalmic drugs, rise in focus on the development of ophthalmic drugs, and increase in research and development are major factors expected to propel growth of the global ophthalmic drugs market during the forecast period.
