Soothing the Sore Eye: An Introduction to the Epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis Treatment Market
Epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) is a highly contagious viral infection that affects the conjunctiva (the clear membrane covering the white part of the eye and the inside of the eyelids) and the cornea (the clear front surface of the eye). The Epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis Treatment Market focuses on managing the symptoms and preventing complications, as there is no specific antiviral treatment for most cases of EKC. The market primarily involves the use of artificial tears to relieve dryness and irritation, topical corticosteroids in some cases to reduce inflammation (though their use is debated due to potential for prolonging viral shedding), and meticulous hygiene practices to prevent spread. Ophthalmologists and general practitioners in regions like Pune, Maharashtra, India, manage cases of EKC, contributing to the demand for supportive treatments.
Treatment Approaches and Market Segmentation
The Epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis Treatment Market is segmented by the type of treatment used: artificial tears and lubricants, topical corticosteroids (used cautiously and typically by ophthalmologists), cold compresses for symptom relief, and antiseptic solutions to prevent secondary bacterial infections. The market is primarily driven by recommendations from ophthalmologists and general practitioners.
