Optical Biometers Market Global Report 2026

The optical biometers market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.91 billion in 2025 to $6.53 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to reliance on ultrasound-based biometric measurement techniques, rising incidence of cataracts and refractive errors, limitations in accuracy of contact-based ophthalmic instruments, increasing demand for more accurate intraocular lens calculation results, gradual uptake of optical coherence-based diagnostic technologies.

The optical biometers market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.84 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the expansion of AI-enabled ophthalmic diagnostic systems, rising demand for minimally invasive and non-contact eye examination tools, increasing adoption of advanced cataract and refractive surgical procedures, ongoing technological advancements in optical coherence tomography systems, and a growing geriatric population driving vision correction procedures. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of AI-based ocular biometric measurement to improve IOL power calculation accuracy, advancements in swept-source optical biometry for high-precision eye parameter mapping, increasing adoption of non-contact optical biometers in cataract and refractive surgeries, development of multi-parameter ophthalmic diagnostic platforms combining imaging and biometry, and rising use of cloud-connected ophthalmic devices for centralized patient data management.

The rising number of ophthalmic surgeries is expected to drive the growth of the optical biometers market going forward. Ophthalmic surgeries refer to surgical procedures conducted on the eye and its surrounding structures to diagnose, treat, or correct vision-related conditions and ocular diseases. The increasing number of ophthalmic surgeries is driven by a growing aging population, as age-related eye conditions such as cataracts and glaucoma become more prevalent, resulting in higher demand for surgical vision correction and treatment. Optical biometers enhance the precision and success rate of ophthalmic surgeries by delivering highly accurate measurements of the eye’s anatomical parameters, thereby enabling improved intraocular lens selection and better surgical outcomes. For instance, in May 2024, according to the Office for Health Improvement & Disparities, a UK-based government department, there were 516,073 hospital admissions for cataract surgery, corresponding to a rate of 4,679 per 100,000 population (within a range of 4,663 to 4,694). Therefore, the rising number of ophthalmic surgeries is driving the growth of the optical biometers market.

Leading companies operating in the optical biometers market are focusing on developing advanced ophthalmic diagnostic solutions such as non-contact cataract examination devices to improve diagnostic accuracy, patient comfort, and preoperative surgical planning efficiency. Non-contact cataract examination devices are advanced ophthalmic diagnostic systems that evaluate cataract conditions and ocular structures without direct eye contact, improving patient comfort, diagnostic precision, and preoperative assessment efficiency. For example, in February 2024, Huvitz, a South Korea-based medical technology manufacturer, launched its HBM-1 optical biometry system, a non-contact cataract examination device. It is designed to support improved clinical accuracy and workflow efficiency. The device enables high-precision ocular measurements, enhanced cataract surgery planning, and streamlined diagnostic processes, strengthening overall outcomes in modern ophthalmic care and vision correction procedures.

In February 2023, NIDEK CO., LTD., a Japan-based producer of advanced optical biometers such as the AL-Scan and AL-Scan M, entered into a partnership with HOYA Vision Care to enhance global cataract and refractive surgery processes by combining accurate biometric measurements with advanced intraocular lens technologies. Through this collaboration, NIDEK and HOYA Vision Care aim to integrate high-precision optical biometry with next-generation intraocular lens systems to improve precision in cataract and refractive surgical planning and to elevate overall patient visual outcomes. HOYA Vision Care is a Japan-based optical technology company.
