South & Central America Ophthalmology Devices Market Overview
The South & Central America ophthalmology devices market is segmented into Argentina, Brazil, and the Rest of South & Central America. Brazil is expected to hold the major market share in this region. The Ophthalmology devices market in this region is expected to grow rapidly due to expanding healthcare facilities, rising prevalence of eye disorders, and initiatives taken by various private and public organizations.
Also, the prevalence of eye disease is increasing in Brazil, which can be mainly associated with the growing geriatric population. According to the study titled "Prevalence and associated risk factors for DED among Brazilian undergraduate students," published in November 2021, dry eye symptoms are more prevalent among Brazilian university students compared to the rate recorded among the general Brazilian population aged 40 or more. As stated in the study titled "Prevalence and risk factors for dry eye disease: the Sao Paulo dry eye study" in March 2022, DED prevalence in Sao Paulo city is higher in women than in men. Moreover, hypertension and age were stronger risk factors for DED in women. Therefore, increasing cases of eye disorders propel the ophthalmology devices market growth in Brazil.
