Nidek expanded its presence in the global ophthalmoscopes market with the launch of the Mirante Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope
The
growing focus of key players in introducing a new product is expected to drive
the growth of the market over the forecast period. For instance, in 2019, Nidek
Co. Ltd launched Mirante Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope in Japan. The device is
a multimodal fundus imaging platform, which combines high definition scanning
laser ophthalmoscope and optical coherence tomography. Thus growing such
technological advancement in ophthalmoscopes will favor the growth of the
global ophthalmoscopes market. Growing involvement of government in preventing
the cataract and blindness cases among the population is also accelerating the
growth of the market. Government initiatives such as the National Program for
Control of Blindness (NPCB) and Vision 2020 aims to eliminate preventable
blindness at the national level.
Key
players engaged in the global ophthalmoscopes market include Medline
Industries, Inc., Heine USA Ltd., US Ophthalmic, Welch Allyn, Dino-Lite Europe,
HONSUN Group, Rudolf Riester GmbH, IRIDEX Corporation, Zumax Medical Co., Ltd.,
Oscar Boscarol S.r.l., Suzhou Kangjie Medical Inc., NIDEK Inc., and KIRCHNER
& WILHELM GmbH + Co. KG
Key Developments:
1. In April 2021, Hillrom announced
technological advances to its physical assessment tools with the launch of the
new Welch Allyn PanOptic Plus Ophthalmoscope and the Welch Allyn MacroView Plus
Otoscope.
2. In August 2019, Nidek has
announced the launch of the Mirante Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope. The Mirante
is a multimodal fundus imaging platform that combines high definition SLO and
OCT with ultra-widefield imaging.
North
America is expected to lead the global ophthalmoscopes
market and this is attributed to the increasing incidence of ophthalmic
disease in the U.S. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC), in 2015, around 100 million U.S. population aged 18 years
and older were diagnosed with diabetes or pre-diabetic. Moreover, according to
the Glaucoma Research Foundation, in 2018, over 120,000 (9-12% of total
blindness cases) population in the U.S were blind due to glaucoma disease.
Ophthalmoscopes,
also known as external ophthalmoscopes, is an optical instrument that enables a
medical professional to view inside the eye and various other facial structures
with ophthalmoscopes. It is normally performed as a part of an external eye
examination and can be performed as a part of a routine visual inspection. The
basic definition of ophthalmoscopes is that it is an instrument that magnifies
the field of vision
