Global Ophthalmology Devices market is valued at USD 31.5 billion in 2015. The ophthalmic devices are designed for vision correction, surgical, and diagnosis. These devices increased adoption and importance owing to rising prevalence of several ophthalmic diseases such as cataract, glaucoma, and other vision-related issues.  The growth is primarily driven by the increase in technological advancements such as mydriatic fundus cameras, intraocular lenses, and OCT devices, Lasers usage in the treatment of several eye disorders especially diabetic retinopathy and cataract, Research & Development activities in Ophthalmology Devices. Furthermore, convenience to eye care and lack of awareness in emerging region are the major challenges to market growth. Key opportunity is the less adoption of premium intra ocular lenses and phacoemulsification devices in the emerging countries.
