In CVP analysis, the contribution margin is the dollar amount remaining after deducting variable expenses from sales revenue. The unit contribution margin is the amount that each unit of sold product contributes. In this example, the unit contribution margin is $50 (price of $100 minus variable cost of $50).
Vision Problems in the U.S. estimated the population with glaucoma to be 2.7 million in 2010. This number is estimated to be 2.86 million in 2014, and will increase by nearly 50% to 4.3 million by 2032 and by more than 90% to 5.5 million by 2050.
Advanced glaucoma may even cause blindness. Not everyone with high eye pressure will develop glaucoma, and some people with normal eye pressure will develop glaucoma. When the pressure inside a person's eye is too high for a particular optic nerve, whatever that pressure measurement may be, glaucoma will develop. Glaucoma is the second-leading cause of blindness in the U.S. It most often occurs in people over age 40, although an infant (congenital) form of glaucoma exists. People with a family history of glaucoma, African Americans over the age of 40 and Hispanics over the age of 60 have an increased risk of developing glaucoma.
