GLG Network Survey: Intraocular Lenses

SURVEY DETAILS

TARGET POPULATION

GLG interviewed 70 ophthalmologists across the US and Europe (UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy) who discussed their preferred IOLs as well the COVID-19 impact on the market.

What will you learn from this survey?

• Respondents discussed their preferred IOLs in the market and provided an overview of the expected volume of patients for the following years. 
• The survey also captured a competitive assessment of IOLs such as Alcon, Johnson and Johnson/ Abbott Medical, Bausch and Lomb. 
• Lastly, experts shared their views on the IOLs in development (e.g. Eyhance IOL, Clareon, Vivity IOL etc.) and whether or not they plan on using them in the future. 

Examples of findings:

• In Europe, 32% of our experts stated they expect the total cataract surgical volume to increase in 2021 versus pre-COVID-19 levels, compared to 50% in the US.
• Overall, 53% of respondents mentioned they will increase their use of premium IOLs in the next 12 months by at least 10%.
• Most respondents (57%) stated Alcon is their preferred toric monofocal IOL, followed by Johnson and Johnson (20%).
