Performing Eye Care Market
The forecast period anticipates a steady growth trajectory for the UAE ophthalmic devices market, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2%. Ophthalmic devices serve crucial roles in medical diagnostics, surgeries, and vision correction procedures. In the UAE, these devices have become increasingly significant due to the high occurrence of ophthalmic diseases like glaucoma, cataracts, and other vision-related conditions. A study conducted by the Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi highlighted the prevalence of common eye ailments, including glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy, among the UAE population.
Furthermore, research published in the Oman Medical Journal reported a 19% prevalence of diabetic retinopathy in the United Arab Emirates. These statistics demonstrate the substantial number of individuals affected by various eye diseases, creating a strong demand for ophthalmic devices. Consequently, this demand is expected to drive the market's growth throughout the forecast period.
Dubai is renowned worldwide as a prominent tourist destination, offering a wide range of attractions, experiences, and luxurious amenities. Known for its modern architecture, vibrant cityscape, and cultural heritage, Dubai has established itself as a global hub for tourism and entertainment.

Over the past 38 years I have examined and followed the course of retinopathy of prematurity(ROP) in premature infants in numerous neonatal intensive care units in the United States and over the past 27 months in Western Ukraine. I published one of the first laser treatments for pre-threshold ROP while working with Steve Charles in Memphis TN in 1992, (Am J Ophthalmol. 1992 Nov 15;114(5):589-592). After retiring from my private retinal practice and teaching at the University of South Florida in Tampa in 2019, I spent three years with Dr. Charles teaching his fellows how to evaluate, document, follow and treat ROP with both antiVEGF and laser. My work with ROP continues in Western Ukraine and other underserved areas.

Bardet-Biedl syndrome and Laurence-Moon syndrome are rare autosomal recessive disorders with a similar phenotype. They are characterized by the gradual development of phenotype which includes cone-rod retinal dystrophy, obesity, and hypogonadism in males. Other associated abnormalities include learning disability and renal abnormalities. The two conditions are differentiated clinically by the presence of spasticity and the absence of polydactyly in Laurence-Moon syndrome. In 2002, we reported the first patient with Bardet-Biedl syndrome. The boy had polydactyly, obesity, retinal degeneration, and was hospitalized at the University Hospital in Al-Kadhimiyia because of the development of chronic renal failure. The case of a 9-year old obese Kurdish girl who had polydactyly of the hands and feet associated with reduced visual acuity is described. A 9-year old obese Kurdish girl had polydactyly of the hand and feet associated with reduced visual acuity that was attributed to myopia which was partially corrected with eye glasses. The parents were unrelated, and her younger 5-year sister had polydactyly of the feet only. No other family member known to have polydactyly. Both sisters had their extra-digits removed surgically. The girl was studying at fourth grade primary school and the parents reported no learning disability. Fundoscopy showed atypical retinitis pigmentosa.
