Leading Companies Steering Innovation in the AI Optical Coherence Tomography Market
Several prominent firms dominate the AI Optical Coherence Tomography market, including Abbott Laboratories, Canon Inc., Carl Zeiss AG, Excelitas Technologies Corp., Topcon Corporation, Thorlabs Inc., Santec Holdings Corporation, Notal Vision Inc., Optopol Technology Sp. z o.o., BigVision Tech Inc., Shenzhen Certainn Technology Co. Ltd., Conavi Medical Inc., Wasatch Photonics Inc., RSIP Vision Ltd., Visionix Ltd., Altris AI Ltd., NIDEK Co. Ltd., Perimeter Medical Imaging AI Inc., Michelson Diagnostics Ltd., and Artelus Private Limited.

A notable development occurred in May 2025 when Topcon Healthcare Inc., a US-based leader in eye care technology, acquired RetInSight GmbH, an Austria-based digital health company specializing in AI solutions for OCT. This acquisition aims to enhance Topcon's AI-powered OCT capabilities, strengthen its digital eye care platform, and encourage broader adoption of AI technologies for retinal disease management.

Emerging Trends Creating New Opportunities in the AI Optical Coherence Tomography Market
Industry players are focusing on developing advanced, at-home OCT devices to improve diagnostic accuracy and enable remote patient monitoring. Such portable tools empower patients to perform retinal scans from the comfort of their homes, promoting continuous disease management outside traditional clinical environments.

For example, in May 2024, Notal Vision Inc., a US healthcare company, received FDA de novo authorization for its AI-driven SCANLY Home OCT device. This innovative system combines spectral-domain OCT with the AI-based Notal OCT analyzer (NOA) to detect and quantify retinal biomarkers, enabling high-resolution remote monitoring of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). SCANLY securely transmits images to the Notal Health cloud, allowing physicians to review scans between clinic visits. The device is also supported by current procedural terminology (CPT) billing codes, facilitating reimbursement.
