Forecasts indicate a steady growth in cataract surgeries performed in France from 2024 to 2028. The number of procedures is projected to rise from 985.48 thousand in 2024 to 1121.0 thousand by 2028, representing an average increase of around 3.5% annually over the four-year period. Comparatively, in 2023, the number of cataract surgeries was lower, marking a continuation of the upward trend in recent years. This sustained growth can be attributed to an aging population and advancements in surgical techniques improving accessibility and outcomes.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from technological advancements like robotic-assisted surgery, policies affecting healthcare funding, and demographic shifts that could further accelerate or moderate the growth rate of cataract surgeries in France.
