“Increasing Prevalence of Eye Diseases”
- One prominent trend in the global ophthalmic lasers market is the increasing prevalence of eye diseases
- This trend is driven by the rising global incidence of vision disorders such as cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration, particularly among the aging population
- For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), at least 2.2 billion people globally have a vision impairment or blindness, with many cases attributed to untreated or late-diagnosed conditions that are treatable through laser-based procedures
- The growing burden of eye diseases is prompting greater demand for accurate, minimally invasive treatments, fueling the adoption of ophthalmic lasers in both advanced healthcare systems and resource-limited settings
- As the number of individuals affected by ocular conditions continues to rise, the need for effective, safe, and efficient laser technologies is expected to remain a key trend shaping the future of the ophthalmic lasers market
