Intraoperative Ophthalmic Imaging and Surgical Systems Market Growth Driven by High Prevalence of Eye Diseases

 

Intraoperative Ophthalmic Imaging and Surgical Systems Market

Ophthalmology is the branch of medical science that deals with anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the eye. Major eye diseases include, haloes, eyelid abnormalities, distorted vision, glaucoma, cataract, and retinal disease. The intraoperative ophthalmic imaging and surgical systems market is driven by high prevalence of eye diseases. According to the study, ‘The national and subnational prevalence of cataract and cataract blindness in China: a systematic review and meta-analysis’, published in the Journal of Global Health in June 2018, the prevalence of any cataract ranged from 6.71% in people aged 45-49 years to 73.01% in elderly aged 85-89 years in males.

Moreover, with over 18 million cataract surgery procedures being conducted annually worldwide, the use of intraoperative OCT and intraoperative aberrometry has successfully been contributing to growth of the intraoperative ophthalmic imaging and surgical systems market. Currently, manufacturers are investing in research and development on intraoperative OCT technology to be used for vitreoretinal surgery and glaucoma surgery.

Intraoperative ophthalmic imaging and surgical systems include fundus cameras, optical coherence tomography scanners, and ophthalmic ultrasound imaging systems, tonometers, slit lamps, and corneal topographers. Geriatric population is more susceptible to eye diseases such as cataract and age-related macular degeneration. Thus, increasing ageing population is also expected to aid in growth of the intraoperative ophthalmic imaging and surgical systems market. According to United Nations Population Fund, geriatric population in Asia Pacific is expected to triple between 2010 and 2050 to reach 1.3 billion people by 2050. Moreover, several government associations are also focused on increasing consumer awareness about ophthalmic diseases.

Recent approvals from the U.S. FDA and introduction of surgical microscopes with integrated intraoperative OCT is expected to aid in growth of the intraoperative ophthalmic imaging and surgical systems market in North America. These developments are expected to bring about a paradigm shift from conventional methods of treatment/surgical procedures in ophthalmic diagnostics. These high-end equipment provide real-time feedback with three-dimensional visualization capability, which allows surgeons to monitor progress and verify results during surgical procedures.

With the advancements in technology, the integration of high-end intraoperative OCT with surgical microscopes has enabled surgeons to view 3D images, videos and snapshots of live procedures in the Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography or the screen of the surgical microscope, which is controlled with a foot paddle or touchscreen interface. This allows the surgeon to view the anterior segment of the eye, and at the same time can switch to viewing the posterior segment without interrupting the surgery.

  Whiskey or single malt whiskey is simply a form of distilled beverage made by distilling alcohol from grain mash or even by blending both. Different grains are utilized for different types, such as corn, barley, rye, and wheat. In Scotland, they call their whiskey black tea, a lighter caramel scotch, Irish cream, and liqueur. Whichever form is utilized, the result is usually a flavorful and smooth drink that has a distinct taste, and many people prefer a whiskey with a lower alcohol content. For example, single malt whiskey is the least expensive. The highest price however is the least distilled; that is Bourbon whiskey. Bourbon whiskey is the most popular whiskey in America and in many other countries around the world. Its price range is very wide, starting from as low as about US$ 12 a bottle to over a hundred dollars. So the price definitely varies. Whichever class you belong to, there is always a whiskey that will suit your preference. Single malt scotch whiskey is made ...

Hard Surface Flooring Market Is Expected To Witness Robust Growth As Mohawk Industries Introduces Newly Imagined 30,000-Square Foot Floor Space At The International Surface Event (TISE)

Image
  There are many reasons why people choose hard surface floors over other types of flooring. Hard surfaces offer a level of durability and are very aesthetically pleasing. Unfortunately, choosing this type of flooring can be confusing and costly. There are four main hard surface varieties namely vinyl plank, laminate, solid hardwood, and engineered wood. Each has their own style strengths and provide different advantages. Increasing population coupled with rapid urbanization is expected to drive growth of the global hard surface flooring market . According to the United Nations (UN), by 2050, around 68% of the global population is expected to live in urban areas, increasing from 55% in 2018. According to the same source, in 2018, around 4.2 billion people were living in urban areas, increasing from 751 million in 1950. Furthermore, according to the World Bank, in 2019, the global population reached 7.674 billion, increasing from 6.84 billion in 2009. As a result of this, building...
