Keratometers refer to specialized instruments or platforms designed for the detection and identification of infectious agents, such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites, through molecular methods. These devices employ various molecular diagnostic technologies to amplify and analyze nucleic acids (e.g., DNA or RNA) specific to pathogens present in clinical samples obtained from patients.
The keratometers market size has been expanding steadily. The factors such as rising healthcare expenditure, increasing awareness about eye health, and advancements in ophthalmic technology contribute to market expansion. Moreover, the growing demand for vision correction procedures like LASIK surgery or implantable contact lenses, which require precise pre-operative assessments using keratometry augmenting the market growth.
Technological advancements play a pivotal role in shaping the market. Integration of advanced imaging techniques like optical coherence tomography (OCT) or topography enhances the accuracy and efficiency of corneal measurements, driving adoption among clinicians and patients.
Increasing Prevalence of Eye Disorders
The rising incidence of eye disorders such as myopia, astigmatism, and keratoconus is a significant driver of the market growth. These conditions require precise diagnostic tools for assessment and monitoring. As the prevalence of these disorders continues to increase globally, the demand for keratometers rises proportionally.
For instance, According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, in United States, refractive error occurs in about 1 in 3 people and may occur in combination with near- or farsightedness. It causes blurry vision and is due to the cornea being less than perfectly rounded.
Astigmatism is a common refractive error characterized by an irregular curvature of the cornea or lens, resulting in blurred or distorted vision. Keratometers are essential diagnostic tools for assessing astigmatism by measuring the curvature of the cornea and hence leads to increase in market growth.
Rising Incidence of Refractive Surgeries and Technological Innovations Expected to Propel Keratometers Market Demand
Refractive surgeries like LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) and PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) are popular procedures for correcting vision problems. Pre-operative assessment of corneal curvature and shape is crucial for determining the suitability of patients for these surgeries and predicting outcomes. It provides essential measurements of corneal curvature and shape, helping surgeons determine the appropriate surgical approach and predict outcomes accurately. As the demand for refractive surgeries continues to rise, the need for accurate and reliable pre-operative evaluations with keratometers increases correspondingly.
Moreover, the continuous technological innovations in keratometry contribute to improved accuracy, efficiency, and ease of use. Advanced keratometers integrate features such as artificial intelligence algorithms, enhancing diagnostic capabilities and streamlining workflow in refractive surgery clinics. These innovations not only improve the precision of measurements but also facilitate faster and more reliable data interpretation, ultimately optimizing surgical planning and patient outcomes. This expanded accessibility allows refractive surgery clinics to invest in keratometry equipment more readily, regardless of their size or resources. Portable keratometers enable outreach programs, mobile clinics, and remote healthcare facilities to perform pre-surgical assessments efficiently, thereby increasing access to refractive surgeries and thus driving the market demand.
