Ophthalmoscopes Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product (Direct Ophthalmoscopes, Indirect Ophthalmoscopes), By Light Source (Halogen Illumination Ophthalmoscopes, Xenon Illumination Ophthalmoscopes, LED Illumination Ophthalmoscopes), By Application (Glaucoma, Retinal Diseases, Diabetes Eye Diseases, Others), By End-user (Hospitals, Speciality clinics , Eye Institutes, Ambulatory Surgical Center, Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The global burden of eye disease is growing at a significant rate. According to the National Eye Institute, in 2014, 2.1 million of the American population have advanced age-related muscular degeneration (AMD), which is projected to increase to 3.7 million by 2030. Owing to the technological interventions and rapid adoption, eye examination & care has become more accessible and affordable. Proper eye examination is of prime importance for the correct diagnosis of eye diseases. Ophthalmoscopy, also known as funduscopy, is a test done as a part of eye examination using an ophthalmoscope to view inside the fundus of the eye. Ophthalmoscopes focus a small beam of light through the pupil of the patient’s eye, which helps the care provider in detection of abnormalities of the lens, vitreous humor, optic disc, and the retina. The ophthalmoscopes mainly consist of a light illuminating source, eyepiece, battery handle, and an aperture selector. Ophthalmoscopes are now coming with provisions to capture, store and even share the fundus images which is further going to enhance the ophthalmological process and global market potential of ophthalmoscopes.

Global ophthalmoscopes market growth is being driven by the growing needs of eye care, an increase in ophthalmic surgeries, and advancements in laser technology. Besides, increase in number of ophthalmic clinics in emerging countries is also expected to boost the growth in global ophthalmoscopes implants.

However, lack of skilled health care professionals and eye surgeons in underdeveloped countries is a factor that may hamper the growth in global ophthalmoscopes market
