Ophthalmology devices are used for the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. These devices helps to decrease treatment time and offers quality eye care by ensuring more convenient eye care treatment process for patients and ophthalmologists. Technological advancement and new product development in ophthalmology devices is one of the prominent growth strategy to improve the patient’s comfort level during and after the treatment. Ophthalmology devices engrosses the largest share in the market due to increasing prevalence of various eye related diseases such as cataract, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, refractive error and others is one of the prominent factor. Ophthalmology devices consists of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IOT) driven ophthalmology devices, femtosecond lasers and multifocal intraocular lenses which is expected to provide growth opportunities for the market over the next few years.
At a compound annual growth rate of 3.7%, the size of the worldwide Ophthalmology Devices market is projected to reach USD 70.6 Billion in 2028.
Traditionally, eyeglasses were used as a device for correcting refractive error. However, with technological advancements and shifting consumer preference from eyeglasses due to their cosmetic looks is one of the prominent factors that accentuates the uptake of contact lens or laser surgery. Furthermore, increasing population in emerging economies and rising adoption of digital devices propels the need for eye gear and eye care. These factors are expected to drive the demand for ophthalmology devices over the next few years. However, shortage of ophthalmologist in developing countries hinder the overall growth of ophthalmology devices market at a global level.
Cataract devices are widely used over other ophthalmology devices as cataract is been identified as one of the prominent eye disease which affects the patient population. Development of cataract in an individual can be due to many reasons some of them are age, metabolic disorders, consumption of toxic agents, sunlight exposure, and prolonged exposure to radiation. Over the next few years, the number of cataract sufferers will increase due to changing lifestyle. Division of the global ophthalmology device market into five major continents shows that North America is at the leading position with the highest CAGR in 2018 making up nearly 33% of the total market share.
