The ophthalmic surgical instruments market is
segmented into femtosecond lasers, excimer lasers, other lasers, and refractive
surgery instruments & kits. The femtosecond lasers segment accounted for
the major share of the refractive surgery devices market and is also expected
to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The large share and
high growth of this segment is attributed to its benefits such as lower
incidence of dry eyes, less induced aberrations, greater safety, faster
uncorrected visual acuity recovery, less intraocular pressure (IOP) variation
in the femtosecond-created flap, and growing number of femtosecond
laser-assisted surgeries being performed across the globe.
The global Ophthalmic
surgical instruments market
is projected to reach USD 11.18 Billion by 2022 from USD 8.36 Billion in 2017,
at a CAGR of 6.0%.
Based on product, the ophthalmology surgical instruments market is segmented into cataract surgery devices, vitreoretinal surgery devices, refractive surgery devices, glaucoma surgery devices, ophthalmic microscopes, and accessories. The cataract surgery devices segment accounted for the major share of the global ophthalmic surgical instruments market. The large share of this segment can primarily be attributed to the growing number of cataract surgeries across the globe. Glaucoma surgery devices segment is expected to register the highest growth during the forecast period. The high growth of this segment is attributed to the rising prevalence of glaucoma and technological advancements in the glaucoma surgical devices throughout the world.
