Retinal imaging is a technique that is used to analyze and diagnose the condition of a patient's retina. Retinal imaging devices (RID) use high-resolution imaging systems to capture inside pictures of an eye. The captured image helps Virtual Private Network (VSP) network doctors assess the health of the retina, which helps in the detection and management of eye and health conditions such as diabetes, glaucoma, and macular degeneration, amongst others.
The growth of the retinal imaging devices market is attributed to the improved ophthalmologists’ access to the retina, growing global initiatives for blindness and technological advancements. However, the high cost of OCT devices hampers the market growth.
Retinal imaging devices are widely used to diagnose and treat various eye-related diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, ocular melanoma, and mild vision problems. In addition, across the world, concern for blindness or vision impairment is growing significantly. According to the data published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in October 2021, nearly 2.2 billion people live with a vision impairment or blindness. Among which approximately one billion vision impairment cases can be prevented by proper diagnosis and treatment. These one billion people have different eye problems related to moderate or severe distance vision impairment or blindness. Image-related diagnostic technologies have begun to offer unprecedented growth into eye diseases based on morphological datasets. Such a factor is expected to aid the retinal imaging devices market over the forecast period.
Based on device type, the global retinal imaging devices market has been segmented into fluorescein angiography, fundus camera, and optical coherence tomography. The fundus camera segment held the largest share of the market in 2021. Fundus photography has transformed from electronic flashes to smartphone-based cameras to a more recent portable eye examination kit (PEEK). PEEK is a smartphone-based application for a comprehensive eye examination. The advantage of these cameras is that a non-ophthalmologist can take pictures and, with some training, grade them as well. However, the optical coherence tomography segment is anticipated to register the highest CAGR of 8.1% in the market during the forecast period. The optical coherence tomography allows the evaluation of different levels of macular ischemia that are not diagnosed in primary imaging. The technique is used as a standard for imaging modalities for eyes.
Based on end-user, the global retinal imaging devices market is segmented into hospitals and clinics, specialty clinics, ambulatory care centers, and others. The hospitals & clinics segment held the largest share of the market in 2021 and specialized eye care centers is expected to register the highest CAGR of 6.6% in the market during the forecast period.
