Ophthalmoscopes: Introduction
Ophthalmoscope is a device that enables the investigation of the back of the eye to look at the health of the retina, optic nerve, vasculature, and vitreous humor. This exam produces an upright image of approximately 15 times magnification. The large aperture is used for a dilated pupil after administering mydriatic drops.Global Ophthalmoscopes Market Analysis
The growth of the market is supported by the increasing development in the ophthalmoscope sector. The increasing advancements to improve the efficacy and overall performance of ophthalmoscopes with additional features are contributing significantly to the market growth. For example, a new multicolour video-ophthalmoscope has been developed lately, which is based on the existing mono-colour video-ophthalmoscope that allows healthcare professionals to measure the spectral distribution of light absorption of blood in the human retina with the use of narrow-band transmission filters. Such developments are expected to propel the global ophthalmoscope market growth.In October 2023, Baxter International Inc., one of the leading companies in patient monitoring, physical assessment, and vision screening products, announced the launch of digital image capture capability, for eye examination with the use of their Welch AllynPanOptic Plus Ophthalmoscope. The iExaminer Pro System adds a key technology to routine eye examinations, designed to help advance healthcare professionals' ability to examine and diagnose the eye health of patients. Such innovations are set to not only enhance patient outcomes but provide convenience to healthcare professionals, propelling the market growth further.

Global Ophthalmoscopes Market Overview
The market growth is significantly driven by factors such as growing geriatric population, due to which the prevalence of eye diseases is also increasing. The continuous advancements in technology are also driving the market growth further. For instance, according to a WHO report published in 2022, nearly 2.2 billion of the population was suffering from near or distant vision impairment worldwide. The leading cause of this vision impairment in geriatric population is often considered to be age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy.The adaptation of sedentary lifestyle by people has also collectively resulted in the increased incidence of various diseases leading to visual impairment, such as diabetes and hypertension. All these factors are substantially driving the ophthalmoscopes market demand. Due to the increased incidence of eye diseases, there has been a considerable rise in the number of ophthalmic procedures being performed, enhancing the demand for ophthalmoscopes devices, further propelling the market growth.
Geographically, North America has been dominating the global ophthalmoscopes market share and is expected to dominate for the forecast period as well. The regional growth is influenced by increasing prevalence of eye diseases and disorders, such as diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and glaucoma requiring regular eye examination behaving as a primary factor driving the market growth of the ophthalmoscopes. For instance, according to an article published by the brain focus foundation earlier this year nearly 20 million American adults are suffering from age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
