The costs associated with the intraocular lens are expensive and not affordable to everyone in the European population, which is expected to hamper the market growth slightly. Also, the poor reimbursement policies present in this region and the deficit of proper coverage for premium IOLs are likely to disturb the growth rate of the European IOL market.
Based on the region, Europe is assumed as a developed market and is anticipated to witness significant growth in the forecast period.
