Cataract refers to the clouding of the eye's lens which results in the blurring of the vision. It develops gradually and may affect one or both the eye. Some of the symptoms of cataract include colour fading, blurring vision, appearance of halos near lights, discomfort due to bright lights, night blindness, etc. Cataract cannot be rectified with contact lenses or glasses and only a surgery can eradicate the clouded lens by replacing it with an artificial lens. A new research report by IMARC Group, titled "Cataract Surgical Devices Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2019-2024" estimates that the global cataract surgical devices market was worth US$ 7.1 Billion in 2018. The report further anticipates the market to reach US$ 8.7 Billion by 2024, at a projected CAGR of 3.6% over the forecast period.
