The main types of ophthalmic microscopes are optical, digital, and others.An optical microscope refers to a common type of microscope that uses visible light and lenses to magnify and observe small objects or specimens, and are used for the visualization of eye for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
The modality includes ceiling-mounted, table-top, wall-mounted, and on-casters used for Lasik surgery, cataract surgery, keratoplasty surgery, trabeculectomy, and others. These are used by hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and others.
The increasing prevalence of eye diseases such as vision impairment is driving the ophthalmology microscope market.Eye diseases refer to conditions that affect the structures and functions of the eye, leading to visual impairment or vision loss.
Ophthalmology microscopes are essential in detailed imaging of the eye of the patient to detect and diagnose eye diseases and defects that may be present. For instance, in October 2022, according to the World Health Organization, a Switzerland-based specialized health agency of the United Nations, at least 2.2 billion people were suffering from near or distant vision impairment globally. Moreover, in December 2022, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a US-based government agency, 17.2% of Americans over the age of 40 have a cataract in at least one eye (about 20.5 million people) is estimated to affect approximately 30 million people by 2028. As a result, the increasing prevalence of eye diseases is driving the ophthalmic microscope.
Advancements in the products are a key trend gaining popularity in the ophthalmic microscope market.Major companies in the market are introducing advanced products, such as Konan Medical’s CellChek 20, to sustain their position in the market.
