What have been the primary factors driving the ophthalmic handheld surgical instruments market’s growth?
The rising prevalence of chronic eye disorders is expected to propel the growth of the ophthalmic handheld surgical instruments market going forward. Chronic eye disorders refer to long-term or persistent conditions affecting the eyes or visual system that typically require ongoing management and treatment. The prevalence of chronic eye disorders is due to the aging population, rising diabetes rates, lifestyle changes, genetic predisposition, and improved awareness and screening programs. The ophthalmic handheld surgical instruments are indispensable in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of corneal disorders, enabling ophthalmic surgeons to perform precise, targeted interventions that preserve vision and improve patients’ quality of life. For instance, in January 2024, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US-based vital public health agency, over 3.4 million Americans aged 40 years and older were blind or visually impaired, which is expected to double by 2030. Therefore, the increase in chronic eye disorders is expected to propel the growth of the ophthalmic handheld surgical instruments market.
