Session 17 - Ocular Biomechanics

Ocular biomechanics is to study the eye as a biomechanical structure. Ocular biomechanics is important for preventing and treating vision loss. The eye is a remarkably complex structure with biomechanics involved in many of its functions. Eyes to be able to track moving objects, for example, require a delicate balance of the forces exerted by several muscles. Forces also are liable for deforming the lens and permit focusing. A slight imbalance between the forces and tissue properties may be enough to alter preclude vision. These effects might occur quickly or over long periods, even years.

The world ophthalmic equipment market size is predicted to succeed in USD 63.4 billion by the end of 2025 from an estimated value of USD 53.1 billion in 2020, growing at a CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period. The jump up geriatric population and acceptance of eye diseases primarily drives the marketplace for ophthalmic equipment. Technological advancements in ophthalmic devices and initiatives took by government to control visual impairment, and the rising adoption of contact lenses and spectacles will also support the market growth in the coming years. However, the high cost of ophthalmic equipment is limiting the overall adoption of these devices.

Covid-19 Impact on the Ophthalmic Equipment Market

The ophthalmic equipment market is predicted to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020-2021. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, there has been a big drop by patient visits to clinics thanks to lockdowns and constraints implemented to stop the spread of the disease. This has led to a decline within the number of elective eye surgeries being conducted per week in hospitals and clinics. According to the Ophthalmology Times article, the amount of elective surgeries has reduced from 200 surgeries to only ten surgeries every week.  Also, countries like Boston have witnessed 15% cancellations in patient visits to examination centers.

Governments have also issued restriction and prohibition on medical procedures and elective surgeries. These restrictions have set back the demand for ophthalmic equipment. Due to these limitations, manufacturing companies of ophthalmic equipment face problems in conducting in-person product demonstrations, operating their facilities at full capacity, and attending or organizing conferences. Lockdowns in APAC countries like China and India have delayed the assembly and shipment of ophthalmic devices. All these factors act as a challenge for the expansion of the ophthalmic equipment market. Ophthalmic Equipment Market Dynamics

Restraints: High costs of Ophthalmology Devices

Technological advancements in ophthalmic lasers, like the event of femtosecond lasers, have reduced surgery times and improved procedural outcomes and convenience. However, the high cost of those instruments is predicted to restrain their growth. According to a study, the value of a femtosecond laser was USD 410,000–USD 560,000. This affects their adoption among end users, because it is difficult to estimate the amount of patients choosing femtosecond laser therapy over conventional methods and whether the amount of patients going with the therapy will cover the installation charges of the laser. Similarly, the cost of an OCT ranges from USD 70,000–1200, 000 and the cost of new fundus machines ranges from USD 15,000–60,000.

Opportunities: Untapped potential of emerging markets

With their huge population base, developing countries across the world, including China, India, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, and South Africa, pose potential growth opportunities for ophthalmic device manufacturers. More than half the world’s population resides in India and China, accounting for a large patient base. According to the UN Economic and Social Affairs Report , the population of people aged over 64 years in Asia is expected to rise from 394.3 million in 2019 to 586.4 million by 2030, which will consequently drive the prevalence of age-related eye diseases in the region. In China, the generality of glaucoma in adults aged above 46 years is around 3.6%; however, it increases considerably with age and is estimated to be around 9% in the population aged over 65 years.

Challenges: Lack of awareness, low access to eye care in low-income economies

Awareness and knowledge about eye diseases are very low among rural populations of developing countries like India, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Kenya, and South Africa. These countries are also marked by reduced or limited access to advanced ophthalmic devices. A key factor driving the prevalence of blindness is that the insufficient availability of primary eye care; this is often compounded by a scarcity of awareness and poor access to quality eye care products. In countries where large proportions of the population sleep in rural regions, accessibility and affordability of quality healthcare products and services remain a significant issue.

The Asia Pacific region is predicted to point out the very best rate of growth during the forecast period.

Geographically, the worldwide ophthalmic equipment market is segmented into North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, Latin America, and therefore the Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is predicted to point out the very best rate of growth during the forecast period. The high rate of growth of this region can mainly be attributed to the factors like the growing population in countries like China and India, rapid climb within the geriatric population, rising healthcare need for eye care, improving healthcare infrastructure, and therefore the rising focus of key market players on this region.
