The global ophthalmic lasers market size is anticipated to reach USD 2.37 billion by 2030 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Ophthalmic disorders are rising significantly on a global level. This rise in the prevalence rate has led to high growth of ophthalmic lasers market.
According to American Academy of Ophthalmology 2014 statistics, nearly 4.2 million people in the U.S. are visually impaired. Huge number of people suffering from visual impairment are likely to heighten the demand for ophthalmic lasers in the coming years.
Vision loss is a serious problem among people suffering from glaucoma, cataract, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and diabetic retinopathy. This commonly occurs among the geriatric population. American Academy of Ophthalmology stated that, around 1.3 million U.S. population are blind. Hence, in order to minimize such huge rate of vision loss, there is a high need for the application of ophthalmic laser technology.
Geriatric population are the primary target for the market. Majority of the chronic ophthalmic disorders, for instance, cataract and AMD occur among this group of population. However, refractive errors are also very common among the young people. Thus, growing number of victims of chronic eye diseases has led to an expected growth of the market.
