The global ophthalmic devices market is predicted to reach US$ 75.2 Billion by 2030. The ophthalmic devices are designed for diagnostics, surgical, and vision correction purposes. These devices have gained increased importance and adoption due to the high prevalence of various ophthalmic diseases such as glaucoma, refractive error, cataract, and other vision related issues. The growing usage of electronic devices, such as laptops, smartphones, computers and e-readers, represents one of the prime factors driving the market. According to the World Health Organization (WHO): Globally, at least 2.2 billion people have a vision impairment or blindness, of whom at least 1 billion have a vision impairment that could have been prevented or has yet to be addressed. Therefore, increasing number of eye related disorders propel demand for vision care devices, which in turn propels growth of the ophthalmic devices market. Moreover, there is a rise in the utilization of intraocular lenses (IOLs) to replace the natural lens of eyes for restoring both near and distant vision. This, along with the expanding healthcare industry, is propelling the growth of the market. However, the elements such as the high cost of ophthalmic devices and dearth of skilled professionals with expertise in ophthalmic surgery are projected to hamper the growth of the market.
