OTC Artificial Tears Market Trends and Drivers:
The expanding geriatric population who are prone to chronic eye-related disorders is primarily driving the OTC artificial tears market. Additionally, the widespread adoption of contact lenses to facilitate the flow of oxygen to the cornea and prevent dryness on the surface of the eyes is further catalyzing the market growth. Besides this, the escalating demand for OTC artificial tears to offer immediate relief from discomfort in the eyes, owing to the growing prevalence of diabetes, dry eye syndrome (DES), nutritional deficiencies, etc., is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor.
