The Latin America, Middle East and Africa Corneal Topographers Market would witness market growth of 7.4% CAGR during the forecast period (2020-2026).
Cornea-affected diseases are a significant cause of blindness globally, second only to cataract overall. Corneal blindness epidemiology is complex and involves a wide range of contagious and inflammatory eye disorders that cause corneal scarring, leading to permanent blindness. Furthermore, corneal disease incidence varies from country to country, and also from one population to another.
Corneal topographer is a non-invasive imaging tool which allows corneal surface mapping and examination. Topograph includes a detailed description of the different features of cornea curvature and shape. Mapping corneal topography is important for determining vision quality, as the refractive strength of the eye depends greatly on cornea and overall corneal health. Topographers may be Placido disc systems or slit-scanning machines with small cones or large cones. Placido disc systems build on the anterior corneal surface a series of concentric circles of light. In curvature diopters, the corneal outline or curvature is directly determined at thousands of points on the rings.
Increasing market players’ emphasis on R&D and strong participation in strategic partnerships to establish novel ophthalmic diagnostic modalities are also factors considered to be affirmative growth indicators. Nevertheless, post-operative complications caused by ophthalmic procedures are likely to curtail the development of the corneal topographers industry. It is expected that the introduction of new diagnostic tools for screening and early diagnosis of ophthalmic disorders like cataracts would fuel demand for corneal topographers.
