Middle East and African region is expected to grow at a healthy rate over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the large patient pool and growing awareness about several ophthalmic treatment procedures. The prevalence of myopia and high myopia is expected to increase in the high-income countries of the Middle East.

The high-income countries of the Middle East, such as the UAE & Saudi Arabia, have developed ophthalmic care facilities, however, many countries of the African region lack even basic ophthalmic care centers.

There are several eye care programs run by NGOs across several regions of Africa, for instance, Noor Dubai in Jul 2019 signed a memorandum of understanding to launch a 4-year sustainable and comprehensive eye care program in Nigeria.
