Ophthalmic Imaging Equipment Market Expected to Grow at 7.6% CAGR

Introduction
Ophthalmic imaging equipment plays a vital role in the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment planning of various eye diseases such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, and corneal disorders. These devices allow clinicians to visualize ocular structures with high precision, enabling earlier detection and improved management of sight-threatening conditions.

With the rising global burden of eye disorders and an aging population, the demand for optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundus cameras, fluorescein angiography, ultrasound biomicroscopy, and AI-assisted retinal imaging systems is rapidly increasing. Technological advances, integration of digital health, and artificial intelligence are revolutionizing the ophthalmic imaging equipment market, creating substantial opportunities for innovation and adoption through 2034.
