Personalized LASIK Surgery Market Worth $3.69 Billion By 2022

Global personalized LASIK surgery market is expected to reach USD 3.69 billion by 2022, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Introduction of technologically advanced and minimally invasive surgical procedures for vision correction is a key driver of the personalized LASIK surgery market. 

Advancements in instruments used for personalized procedures and the ability of the technology to reduce risks involved are anticipated to increase the adoption rate of personalized LASIK surgery. For instance, the iDesign platform by AMO scans the patient’s eye more than 25 times and develops a unique blueprint. Moreover, 98% of patients who have undergone personalized LASIK surgery have not witnessed any post-surgery side effects 

Gradually growing prevalence of refractive disorders such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, and rising number of R&D initiatives are expected to enhance the market growth. For instance, Carl Zeiss is evaluating its novel flapless SMILE platform for the treatment of spherical myopia in the U.S and is likely to initiate trials for severe astigmatism.
