Ophthalmic surgery or ocular surgery is performed on eye or its adnexa. Most common eye disorders are glaucoma, cataract, and diabetic retinopathy. Ophthalmic surgeries are carried by various technologies such as femtosecond system, excimer laser systems, and laser ophthalmic surgical systems among others.
Increase in the prevalence of eye diseases, rise in demand for minimally invasive surgical procedures, innovation of newer technologies for ophthalmic surgeries, and rise in geriatric population are anticipated to fuel the ophthalmic surgical technologies market over the forecast years. Moreover, government initiations to prevent the blindness, untapped market in developing countries, and sophisticated healthcare infrastructure in developed countries are anticipated to boost the ophthalmic surgical technologies market. However, high cost of surgical procedures, complication with laser surgeries, availability of alternatives for retinal surgeries, and lack of skilled professionals may restrain the growth of ophthalmic surgical technologies market over the forecast period.
Global ophthalmic surgical technologies market is poised to grow at a significant CAGR owing to increase in the prevalence of ophthalmic diseases. According to World Health Organization 2017, approximately 253 Mn people are living with vision impairment, 36 Mn are blind, and 217 Mn are suffering from moderate to severe impairment. Moreover, development of newer technologies with minimally invasive surgical procedures expected to upsurge the revenue of ophthalmic surgical technologies market. For instance, in November 2015, Alcon, a division of Novartis, introduced Contoura Vision, a latest advancement in wavelight refractive portfolio to treat nearsightedness or nearsightedness with astigmatism in patients by using laser procedure. Moreover, market players acquiring the competitors business to strengthen their market position. For instance, in September 2016, Johnson & Johnson acquired Abbott Medical Optics business segment including laser refractive surgery, cataract surgery, and consumer eye health.
Geographically, ophthalmic surgical technologies market segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa. North America ophthalmic surgical technologies market accounted for significant share due to increase in the incidence of cataract and glaucoma surgeries in U.S. Europe ophthalmic surgical technologies market exhibiting lucrative growth rate owing to adoption of newer technologies and increase in the prevalence of visual impairment. Asia Pacific ophthalmic surgical technologies market has a notable share due to increase in geriatric population in India, Japan, and China, rise in medical tourism due to low cost of treatment, and development in healthcare infrastructure. Latin America ophthalmic surgical technologies market is growing due to rise in prevalence of glaucoma surgeries, adoption of newer surgical procedures, and launching of newer products by market players in the region.
