Report Overview

The Global Automated Ophthalmic Perimeters Market reached US$ 281 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 412.51 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5% during the forecast period 2024-2031.

Ophthalmic perimetry refers to the systematic measurement of the visual field and is an essential component of defining the extent and progression of glaucoma, as well as numerous other eye conditions. All perimeters measure sensitivity to stimuli at multiple locations in the visual field, though multiple variables define the perimeter. Currently, standard automated perimetry or white-on-white perimetry is the most common form of visual field testing. Here, a white stimulus is projected on a white background to determine the threshold values.

Automated perimetry offers obvious advantages to manual perimetry in that stimulus presentation as well as the recording of patient responses can be standardized, leading to more reproducible results. According to nih.gov, automated perimetry is one product of the computer revolution that has had a dramatic impact on the practice of ophthalmology, affecting the quality of both the perimetric test (perimetric technique) and the interpretation of the test results. As automated perimeters evolved, perimetric techniques and the software that analyzes data for clinical significance were improved. The use of automated perimetry to evaluate routinely various visual disorders that require testing of the visual field has increased significantly.

Market Dynamics: Drivers

Increasing prevalence of ophthalmological diseases

The demand for the global automated ophthalmic perimeters market is driven by multiple factors. The rising prevalence of ophthalmological diseases and disorders propels market growth. 

Furthermore, the demand for automated ophthalmic perimeters will be fueled by the growing population of older age that is, the geriatric population, as well as the technological advancements in this field. For instance, according to an article posted by the World Health Organization in August 2023, globally, at least 2.2 billion people have near or distant vision impairment. In at least 1 billion of these, vision impairment could have been prevented or is yet to be addressed. The prevalence of various eye diseases like cataracts, glaucoma, corneal occlusions, trachoma, diabetic retinopathy, ocular hypertension, and uncorrected refractive errors is increasing day by day. 

Cataracts are a common part of aging and the most common cause of vision loss around the world. In fact, according to My Cataracts, cataracts currently affect more than 20.5 million Americans over 40 years of age. By age 65, more than 90 percent of people in the United States will develop cataracts. In approximately 3% of people with ocular hypertension, the veins in the retina can become blocked (called a retinal vein occlusion), which could lead to vision loss. 

More than 3 million people in the United States have glaucoma. The National Eye Institute projects this number will reach 4.2 million by 2030, a 58 percent increase. According to an article posted by Biomedcentral in January 2023, the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy among diabetic patients is estimated to be 27.0%, which leads to 0.4 million blindness in the world.

Restraints

Factors such as the high cost associated with the product, lack of awareness among people, and stringent regulatory requirements for new approvals are expected to hamper the market. 

Market Segment Analysis

The global automated ophthalmic perimeters market is segmented based on product type, end-user, and region.

Static perimetry accounted for approximately 46.9% of automated ophthalmic perimeters' market share

The static perimetry segment is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period. In this segment, the technological developments, and rising funds for private manufacturers would drive this market. 

In static perimetry, stationary stimuli are presented at defined points in the visual field. Stimuli presented for longer durations of time may be seen better as a result of temporal summation of information, though limited additional benefit is derived beyond times over 1/10th of a second. The Humphrey and Octopus perimeters use stimuli presented for 0.2 seconds and 0.1 seconds, respectively, maximizing temporal summation while minimizing patient attempts to redirect fixation towards the stimulus.

On average, static field of vision measurement takes about 5 minutes per eye. Static perimetry is one of the most widely used types of automated perimetry. Efficient perimetry can be done in a short period. Effective usage of the static perimeter for visual field tests in children with glaucoma is expected to drive segment growth.

Market Geographical Share

North America accounted for approximately 41.7% of the global automated ophthalmic perimeters market share 

North America region is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period. The rising incidence of ophthalmological diseases, and technological advancements in this region, help to propel the market.

According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, Cataracts affect more than 20.5 million Americans age 40 and older, and 6.1 million Americans have had cataract surgery. Glaucoma affects about 3 million Americans. An estimated 50% of people with the disease are undiagnosed. An estimated 1.5 million Americans have late AMD(Age-Related Macular Degeneration), the vision-threatening form of AMD. An estimated 18.3 million Americans have early AMD.

Prevalence of AMD increases with age. For people age 80 and older, approximately 3 in 10 Americans have early AMD and 1 in 10 have late AMD. Diabetic retinopathy affects nearly 9.6 million Americans. Approximately 1 in 4 Americans ages 40 and older with diabetes have diabetic retinopathy, a number that has more than doubled since 2004. More than 60,000 corneal transplants are performed in the United States every year. Since 1961, more than 2 million men, women, and children worldwide have had their sight restored through a corneal transplant.

Each year an estimated 2.5 million eye injuries occur in the United States. More than 7 million Americans have low vision.

Market Competitive Landscape

The major global players in the global automated ophthalmic perimeters market include Carl Zeiss Stiftung, Occulus Inc., Metrovision, Meda Co., Medmont, Nidek Co. Ltd., Essilor Instruments, Haag Streit, BIB Ophthalmic Instruments, and Optopol Technology among others.

Key Developments

• In May 2022, BIB Ophthalmic Instruments worked on their now well-established REVO OCT instrument. The latest incarnation, the REVO FC130, now comes with a real-time hardware eye-tracking function, which compensates for blinks, loss of fixation, and involuntary eye movements during OCT scanning. It also, most usefully for those interested in myopia management, allows accurate axial length monitoring, measurements which it displays most elegantly 
• In 2022, Optopol Technology introduced a product PTS 2000. It can capture 10 additional central field locations with a new 24-2C pattern. The PTS 2000 has ergonomic advantages is more cost-effective and requires less maintenance about software.
• In January 2024, in the Department of Ophthalmology, Chung-Ang University College of Medicine, digital images of the eyelids were taken from a total of 300 subjects, comprising 100 patients with Graves’ orbitopathy (GO), 100 patients with ptosis, and 100 controls. An automated measurement system based on NNs was developed to measure margin–reflex distances 1 and 2 (MRD1 and MRD2), as well as the lengths of the upper and lower eyelids. The results were then compared with values measured using the manual technique.
