Global Phoropter Equipment Market – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029

Phoropter Equipment Market Analysis and Size

Phoropters are ingenious devices that quickly determine an individual's exact vision correction needs. Phoropters are also used to measure heterophorias, accommodative amplitudes and lags/logs/posture, horizontal and vertical vergences, and other parameters. Batteries of spherical and cylindrical lenses, as well as auxiliary devices such as Maddox rods, prisms, and the Jackson Cross-Cylinder, are important components of phoropters. The prisms in phoropters are also used to diagnose and treat ophthalmic problems.

Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the phoropter equipment market which was USD 170.24 million in 2021, is expected to reach USD 245.83 million by 2029, and at a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period 2022 to 2029. In addition to the insights on market scenarios such as market value, growth rate, segmentation, geographical coverage, and major players, the market reports curated by the Data Bridge Market Research also include depth expert analysis, patient epidemiology, pipeline analysis, pricing analysis, and regulatory framework.

Phoropter Equipment Market Scope and Segmentation      

Market Definition

Phoropters are medical devices that are used to perform ophthalmic testing. They are commonly referred to as refractors. Ophthalmologists most commonly use photopters during eye examinations. They contain various lenses used for refraction of the eye during sight testing. Phoropters are also used to determine an individual's refractive error and prescription. To correct vision, phoropters are used during sight testing to switch multiple lenses in front of the eyes. A phoropter is used to test individual lenses on each eye, during an examination. If the doctor discovers a vision problem such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism during an eye examination, one of the next steps you'll take will most likely involve the use of a phoropter. A phoropter is a specialised machine that switches multiple lenses in front of your eyes to correct your vision.

Global Phoropter Equipment Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Launch of new product

The factor driving the growth of the global phoropters market is the introduction and addition of new products. For instance, Reichert, Inc. introduced the Phoropter VRx in 2016, which set a new standard in digital refraction with the thinnest and most compact design, motorised prisms, incredibly fast lens exchanges, ultra-quiet operational functionalities, and split cylinder lenses.

• Rising refractive disorders

The increasing prevalence and recurrence of astigmatism is expected to be a major factor driving the phoropters market during the forecast period. According to Nature, a science journal, more than 650 million people suffer from refractive disorders, with approximately 285 million becoming visually impaired. Changes in lifestyle, as well as an increase in air pollution levels, are all contributing to the rising prevalence of eye disorders. These are some of the factors which propel the growth of the market.

Opportunities

• Technological developments

Artificial intelligence (AI) software developed by Google's DeepMind has combed through countless thousands of retinal images in a ground-breaking NHS project and demonstrated its ability to diagnose most conditions with unerring level of accuracy. The analysis of such images may also allow for the very early prediction of dementia and the identification of a patient's risk of heart disease, among other things. So, in the future, many eye patients may be able to sit in front of a scanner at their local optometrist's office while an AI brain studies their eye, diagnoses the problem, and recommends an appropriate, evidence-based treatment plan.

Restraints/Challenges

• Lack of awareness

Lack of awareness amongst people about eye diseases for correct examination  will obstruct the market's growth rate.
