New Report Available: Eye Care in Portugal

From: Fast Market Research, Inc.
Published: Mon May 11 2015


Value sales in eye care remained flat in 2014, amounting to €11 million. The growing incidence of people suffering from chronic eye dryness allowed the maintenance of baseline demand for eye care products during the year. According to the Portuguese Society of Ophthalmology, an estimated 6% of the Portuguese adult population (equivalent to 462,000 people) aged 15 to 65 suffers from dry eye disease and requires artificial tears or gel to lubricate their eyes and protect them from damage. This is partly due to the longer hours people are spending in front of computer and television screens, and increasing exposure to air pollution. Another factor contributing to the moderate performance of eye care is the increasing number of people wearing contact lenses. Looking to shed light on the prevalence and risk factors for dry eye in Portugal, the same research found that the prevalence of dry eye amongst the older Portuguese population (aged over 65) is even higher, at 33% (equivalent to 680,000 people).
