Regional Dynamics
On the basis of regions, Ophthalmic
Ultrasound Imaging Systems Market is segmented into North America, Latin
America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa. North America is
expected to be dominant in the ophthalmic ultrasound imaging systems market
over forecasted period. This is due to better healthcare infrastructure and
high spending on healthcare. According to study published by American Academy
of Ophthalmology in 2014, each year 2 million people undergoes cataract surgery
in the U.S., 50 million in projected to suffer from cataract in 2050. Mean age
to undergo cataract surgeries also falling from 70 to 50 and above. Ocular
trauma is also largely observed due to firearms and related injuries. According
to data given by Glaucoma Research Foundation, around 3 million people in the
U.S. have glaucoma, however, only half of those know they have it. Europe would
be another lucrative ophthalmic ultrasound imaging systems market, due to high
presence geriatric population (25 million) in the region. Region such as Asia
Pacific with highest cases of uncorrected refractive errors and glaucoma,
worldwide would be potentially attractive ophthalmic ultrasound imaging systems
market in the near future.
Ophthalmic ultrasound imaging
system is non-invasive visualization technique, which is more convenient and
relatively inexpensive as compared to other techniques such as optical
coherence tomography (OCT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and scanning
Scheimpflug. Ophthalmic ultrasound imaging systems allow imaging of anatomy and
pathology involving the anterior and posterior segment of the eye. This system
provides diagnostic information in conditions such as glaucoma, trauma, cysts,
and neoplasms. It also allows measurement of length of cornea and other
information before conducting procedures such as cataract surgery. There are
various types of imaging systems such as A scan (for measurement of axial
length), B-scan (for anterior and posterior segment visualization), Pachymeter,
and Ultrasound Bio microscope. Typical instrument use frequency of sound in
between 10- 50 MHz, which gives clearer images with higher frequency and lower
wavelength. In the ophthalmic ultrasound imaging systems, there is a transducer
probe placed in a medium, which generates waves of specific frequency and these
waves strikes interior structures in the eye. This waves received by transducer
and resulting voltages are then amplified and processed to form images.
Depending upon the condition such as angle closure glaucoma, ciliary body
cysts, neoplasms, and angle trauma, different types of modalities are used.

Market Dynamics
Increasing prevalence of eye
disease such as uncorrected refractive errors, glaucoma, cataract, ciliary body
cysts, neoplasms, and angle trauma are major driving factors for growth of the
ophthalmic ultrasound imaging systems market. According to 2017 factsheet by
World Health Organization (WHO), around 253 million people across the globe
suffered from vision impairment and 36 million are blind and 217 million have
moderate to severe vision impairment. Chronic eye diseases, which includes
uncorrected refractive errors, un-operated cataract, age related macular
degeneration, and glaucoma are main causes of vision loss. This is observed in
low- and middle-income countries. According to a study published in the Journal
Ophthalmology (2014), around 64.3 million people (aged 40-80 years) in 2013
were affected with glaucoma, which would increase to 76.0 million in 2020 and
111.8 million in 2040. This is expected to aid in growth of the ophthalmic
ultrasound imaging systems market. According to population Prospect Report in
2017, the geriatric population (aged 60 years and above) is expected to
increase from 900 million in 2017 to 2.1 billion by 2050. Therefore, demand for
such imaging products is expected to increase significantly.
Manufacturers are focusing on
developing new advanced imaging systems for application in intraocular
measurement and anterior segment examination and this is expected to propel
growth of the ophthalmic ultrasound imaging systems market. For instance, Quantel
Medical, in October 2017, launched next-generation compact touch ophthalmic
ultrasound system, which is a 3-in-1 system that combines A scan, B scan, and
pachymeter thereby, allows multiple functions. Furthermore, factors such as
overall socioeconomic development (better disposable income) in middle income
countries China and India, for instance according OECD report China has
increased its healthcare spending from 1.3% in 2010 to more than 3.5% in 2016.
Moreover, public health awareness programs by governments, increased
availability of eye care services, and increased awareness of the general
population related to eye health is expected to further aid in growth of the
ophthalmic ultrasound imaging systems market.
However, increasing advancement
and adoption of other diagnostic tools is expected to be a factor restraining
growth of the ophthalmic ultrasound imaging systems market. Ophthalmic surgeons
and practitioner prefer optical biometry devices that utilize partial coherence
interferometry. Unlike ophthalmic ultrasound imaging systems, which requires
significant training for the examiner, in order to avoid errors in handling,
optical biometry devices (IOL Master 500 and IOL Master 700 from Carl Zeiss
Meditech) are convenient and easy to handle, due to automation and it is proved
to be more accurate.

Key Developments in Ophthalmic Ultrasound
Imaging Systems Market
In November 2015, NIDEK CO., LTD,
a global developer, manufacturer, and distributor of ophthalmic, optometric,
and lens edging equipment, launched the TONOREF III Auto Ref
/Kerato/Tono/Pachymeter. The new device combines the functionality of multiple
devices such as an auto-refractometer, auto-keratometer, non-contact tonometer
and non-contact pachymeter into one device.
In April 2016, ArcScan, Inc, a
developer of medical imaging devices, received CE Marking certification for its
ultrasound ophthalmic device, ArcScan Insight 100, to commercialize the device
in 30 nations of European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland.
In September 2017, OCULUS
