Global Wave-Front Aberrometer Market is valued at approximately USD 36.2 million in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 3.4% over the forecast period 2022-2029. A wave-front aberrometer is a diagnostic tool that uses wavefront technology to measure and analyze the refractive errors of the eye. This technology allows for a more precise measurement of the eye’s optical system, as it takes into account not only the traditional measurements of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism but also more subtle irregularities in the shape and curvature of the cornea and lens. Wavefront aberrometer are used in ophthalmology and optometry clinics to aid in the diagnosis of visual abnormalities and to assist in the selection of appropriate corrective lenses. The market demand is primarily driven by the factors such as the increasing prevalence of refractive errors in the eye, the growing demand for vision correction solutions and the rising public awareness about eye diseases.

In addition, the increasing prevalence and emergence of various eye disorders and diseases due to various reasons such as genetics, infections and environmental factors are acting as major driving factors for market growth. According to the World Health Organization, untreated refractive defects affect 153 million individuals globally and currently, at least 2.2 billion individuals worldwide have vision impairment. Similarly, according to National Eye Institute, more than 150 million Americans have a refractive error. Hence, these factors are expected to escalate the demand for wave-front aberrometers in the global market. Furthermore, the increasing demand for advanced eye surgery devices and the growing developments in healthcare infrastructure are presenting lucrative opportunities for market growth over the forthcoming years. However, the scarcity of skilled professionals to operate wave-front aberrometer is restricting the market growth over the forecast period of 2022-2029.

The key regions considered for the Global Wave-Front Aberrometer Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. North America dominated the market in terms of revenue due to the high frequency of eye-related disorders and the ageing population in the region. Whereas, Asia Pacific is also expected to grow at the highest growth rate over the forecasting period due to the growing population. Factors such as the growing demand for novel diagnostic devices and equipment, the increasing prevalence of eye disorders, the rising awareness about refractive errors in the eye and the growing ageing population are burgeoning the market growth in the forecasting years.

Recent Developments in the Market:
? In February 2023, Nidek Co., Ltd., a global company that designs, manufactures and distributes ophthalmic, optometric, and lens edging equipment, announced the launch of the AL-Scan M Optical Biometer and the MV-1 Myopia Viewer software. In the clinical and scientific literature, the AL-Scan M evaluates axial length, which is regarded as an effective metric for predicting and monitoring the course of myopia. The AL-Scan M features 3D auto tracking and auto-shot functions, comparable to an auto refractometer, enabling simple use and rapid measurement.
? In November 2022, Alcon, a Swiss-American pharmaceutical and medical device company specializing in eye care products announced the acquisition of Aerie Pharmaceuticals, Inc., expanding the company’s ophthalmic pharmaceutical business. The acquisition expands pharmaceutical research and development capabilities and experience for future product portfolios.
