Ophthalmology is a branch of science that
is concerned with the physiology, life structures, and infection of the
eye. Ophthalmic optics and instruments such as contact lenses,
intraocular lenses, spectacles lenses, refractive surgery, etc. are used
for the testing and surgery of eye. Due to technological advancement,
today ophthalmic optics and instrument play a very vital role in vision
restoration of eye in all age people.
Based on device type, the global
ophthalmic optics and instrument market can be segmented into surgery
devices, diagnostic devices, and vision care. The diagnostic devices
segment is projected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period
due to increase in demand for eye testing to confirm eye diseases. The
surgery devices segment can be categorized into cataract surgery
devices, vitreoretinal surgery devices, refractive surgery devices, and
glaucoma surgery devices. The diagnostic devices segment can be
classified into keratometers, optical coherence tomography systems,
tonometers, slit lamps, fundus cameras, autorefractometers, fluorescein
angiography, perimeters, pachymeters, specular microscopes, corneal
topographers, gonioscopes, ophthalmic echography, and others. The vision
care segment can be bifurcated into spectacle lenses and contact
lenses. In terms of end-user, the global market can be segmented into
eye hospitals and eye clinics. The eye hospitals segment is likely to
dominate the market during the forecast period, due to increase in
patient preference to visit eye hospitals because of the availability of
advanced instruments and favorable reimbursement.
Rise in demand for minimally invasive eye
surgeries among eye patients is a major factor that drives the global
ophthalmic optics and instrument market. Technological advancements in
instruments and increase in geriatric population with eye diseases are
the other factors fueling the growth of the global ophthalmic optics and
instrument market. However, cost of the treatment as well as
instruments is likely to to hamper the market during the forecast
period.
In terms of region, the global ophthalmic
optics and instrument market can be segmented into North America,
Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North
America dominates the global market. It is projected to account for a
significant share of the global market during the forecast period, due
to quick adoption rate of advanced instruments and presence of
well-trained ophthalmologists in the region. Moreover, increase in
awareness among the patient population and rise in prevalence of
cataract surgeries are the others factors expected to drive the market
in North America. Adoption of advanced ophthalmic optics and instrument
is quite high in Europe due to increase in demand for minimally invasive
eye surgeries and surge in awareness among people about the need for
regular eye checkups. This is expected to drive the market in Europe.
Increase in the geriatric population which is more prone to eye
disorders in countries such as China, Vietnam, and Japan, and rise in
adoption of advanced devices for testing by health care systems in the
region are likely to fuel the market in Asia Pacific from 2018 to 2026.
Increase in demand for minimally surgeries and rise in prevalence of eye
diseases are the key factors likely to augment the market in Middle
East & Africa during the forecast period.
Major players operating in the global
ophthalmic optics and instrument market are Carl Zeiss Meditec AG,
Alcon, Inc., Haag-Streit AG, Topcon Corporation, Ziemer Ophthalmic
Systems AG, Bausch Health Companies, Inc., and STAAR SURGICAL, among
others.
