Chapter 615
In the Chinese market alone, more than 150 million pairs of lenses are sold each year, most of which are myopia glasses. If the global market is included, the situation will only be more terrifying.
The number of myopic people in the world is in the billions, and the myopia rate is gradually increasing, and the age of myopia patients is getting younger and younger.
You can imagine how huge this market is.
Global sales of eyewear exceed $400 billion annually.
Although glasses are not just for myopia, there are also glasses that are mainly for aesthetics, but most people buy glasses mainly for myopia.
If there is an eye drop that can treat myopia without any side effects, it can easily take over this market.
Myopia can be corrected directly, but no one would like to wear glasses every day because myopia glasses are indeed very inconvenient.
Moreover, this eye drops can not only treat myopia, but also treat and prevent astigmatism, cataracts, glaucoma, myopic macular degeneration and retinal detachment, etc.
The myopia market is already very large, and with so many eye diseases, the market is bound to expand further.
Once this kind of eye drops is on the market, it can almost monopolize the entire eye drops market, or at least consume more than half of it.
The value created is at least 100 billion US dollars.
"If this eye drops is made public,"
“I’m afraid the benefits will be quite shocking.”
"Also, the technology behind this eye drops is good enough to win a Nobel Prize."
Chen Xuan couldn't help but think of this possibility.
Although he was not interested in the Nobel Prize and did not want to win it.
But it must be said that the influence of the Nobel Prize does make it the authoritative award for evaluating science and technology.
The Nobel Prize is indeed the fastest way to verify the value of an invention. It is not absolutely accurate, but it is relatively authoritative.
As for why the Nobel Prize can be won for treating myopia, we have to say that this eye drops is amazing.
The originally irreversible eye axis can be restored through eye drops. This process alone can overturn the current cognition of the medical community.
Myopia is not a very serious matter, but the structure of the eyeball can be restored, which is an incredible technology.
So it’s really no problem for this kind of eye drops to win the Nobel Prize.
However, Chen Xuan was not interested in the Nobel Prize. He was only interested in the practical benefits that eye drops could bring.
“The second reward is curing diabetes.”
"And it's not just for treating diabetes, it can also treat gout, rheumatism, arthritis, and so on."
"This drug has a lot of indications, and its therapeutic effect should be good, so the market should be huge."
When seeing the second drug reward,
Chen Xuan was also very surprised.
It is already amazing that it can treat diabetes, not to mention the frightening number of indications for this drug.
It can treat gout, rheumatism, arthritis, and a host of other indications, each of which is truly amazing.
For diabetes alone, the number of adult diabetics worldwide reached 500 million in 2020.
According to relevant departments, the number of adult diabetes patients worldwide is likely to increase to 800 million by 2035.
During this period, the world's population is estimated to have grown by 20%, but the number of people with diabetes has increased by 40%.
This is also because diabetes is a chronic disease that requires lifelong medication. This disease cannot be cured and can only be controlled with medication, so the number of people suffering from it will only increase.
As for adult diabetes patients worldwide, the annual medical expenditure reached more than 1000 billion in 2020.
It is estimated that it will not take more than a few years for the medical scale to exceed 1 trillion.
The diabetes drug market alone is now worth more than $500 billion.
It can be seen how huge the diabetes market is, and patients are in great need of drugs to treat diabetes.
