Market Scope surveyed ophthalmologists and optometrists in the United States and Western Europe during July and August 2024 to measure patients they were seeing and screening for ocular surface disease; adoption of treatments; and insight into the latest market trends.

Practitioners from most specialties (cataract, refractive, cornea, glaucoma, and comprehensive) who self-registered on Market-Scope.com were invited to participate in an annual sponsored survey on ocular surface disease.

An email invitation was sent on July 26, 2024, and a last call went out on Aug. 23, 2024. We received 149 total complete, unique responses—116 from the US and 33 from WE. All results were calculated based on respondent count; because not all questions were applicable to all providers, the respondent count (n) may vary throughout the survey.
