From 2023 to 2028, cataract surgeries in Italy are projected to exhibit a declining trend, starting at 21.8 inpatient cases per hundred thousand persons in 2024 and decreasing to 20.3 by 2028. This gradual decline highlights a year-on-year decrease in cases, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflecting this downward trajectory over the 5-year period.

Future trends to watch for:

Technological advancements that could potentially reduce the need for surgical interventions.
Changes in healthcare policies affecting accessibility and coverage for cataract procedures.
Influences from demographic shifts, such as an aging population, which might alter demand.
