“Increase in geriatric population is anticipated to bloster market growth”
A significant public health concern is the rise in the number of elderly people, which is leading to an increase in the number of patients with serious eye conditions and vision loss in the optometry market. Diabetes increases the risk of visual deterioration in the elderly population, which may be a significant factor driving the market for ophthalmic imaging equipment.
The likelihood of vision loss among the elderly population is rising due to the frequency of serious eye diseases such macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and cataract. The most prevalent form of vision impairment among the elderly population nowadays is a cataract.
One of the main factors that will fuel demand for optometry devices is the rising prevalence of diabetes. The group of disorders known as diabetic eye disease, which includes diabetic macular edoema, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and cataract, is to blame for vision loss.
Eye conditions are also becoming more common, especially in young children. The eye diseases are rising as a result of excessive computer and mobile phone use, which is again adding significantly to the growth of ophthalmic imaging equipment market globally. The recent developments and usage of advanced technology have enabled the early diagnosis of eye disease with the help of optometry devices.
Increasing healthcare expenditure is an important factor that is encouraging people to opt for optometry tests. The availability of technologies advanced products is another key factor that is driving market technological advancements in ophthalmic imaging equipment market. Regulatory organizations and governments worldwide, particularly in developed economies, to lessen the burden of healthcare expenditure, are adopting numerous cost-containment strategies.
The amount of cataract diagnoses being made worldwide is anticipated to fuel the market for ophthalmic imaging equipment.
“Ineffectiveness of ophthalmic tests can hamper market growth”
The ophthalmologist doing the screening, the kind of training given to the person running the screener, and the method used for the optometry test can all affect the findings returned from the test.
The different rules for optometry examinations can also be blamed for variations in visual acuity screenings. The less effective optometry test results tend to result in fewer people choosing the profession, which restrains the market's total growth.
Children who have reading issues, such as hyperopia or astigmatism, cannot undergo optometrist testing.
It is thus anticipated that fewer parents would choose to have their children undergo eye exams due to the ineffectiveness of vision screening devices. A number of optometry exams only measure the ability to see clearly in the distance and do not reveal how well the eyes cooperate to focus on nearby things. The optometry exams don't reveal anything about eye health, their demand may decline, which would impede market expansion.
The variable results among optometry devices and ineffectiveness of ophthalmic tests can also hamper market growth.
