LONDON, Nov. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ophthalmic laser is novel medical device that involves a laser beam source that is used to target the ophthalmic cells to treat several ophthalmic diseases and disorders such as diabetic retinopathy, cataract, glaucoma, macular oedema, retinal tears, etc. The selection of laser depends on the specific ophthalmic condition; for example, green lasers are used for photocoagulation usually required in diabetic retinopathy. The SLT lasers that involves Q switched YAG lasers with double frequency are used to treat open angle glaucoma. In terms of revenue, the global ophthalmic lasers market is anticipated to register a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period (2016 – 2026) and is projected to be valued at US$ 697.1 Mn by the end of 2026.Increase in ophthalmic care expenditure and advancements in laser technology likely to boost market growthRevenue growth of the global ophthalmic lasers market is primarily driven by an increasing incidence of glaucoma leading to an upsurge in the number of laser procedures and an increasing geriatric population prone to cataract. Additionally, increasing government provision in developed economies and constructive reimbursement policies is expected to fuel market growth over the forecast period. However, high costs associated with ophthalmic lasers and replacement of current ophthalmic laser technology with advanced technologies might hinder the growth of the global ophthalmic lasers market over the forecast period.
