Market Overview

A phoropter is an ophthalmic instrument used by optometrists and ophthalmologists to determine the refractive error of an individual and arrive at a prescription for corrective lenses. It consists of lenses, one after another, which are placed before the eyes to determine the vision acuity and to diagnose myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, or presbyopia. The phoropter is therefore important in examinations so that a practitioner can arrive at the best possible lens. The main factor for the growth of the US phoropter market is due to the rising prevalence of ophthalmological disorders, coupled with the increasing size of the geriatric population and increased awareness of eye health. Technological innovation, like the digital phoropter, also accelerates the advancement of the market. Digital phoropters allow high precision as well as ease of use over manual devices, so they are continually accepted by ophthalmic practitioners. The scope of the market is increasing because demand for vision correction solutions is growing in both urban and rural areas. In terms of government initiatives, funding for vision health programs as well as public awareness programs are on the growth trajectory of the market. Policies that enhance access to eye care to those underserved will also provide an impetus for the demand for phoropters. Additionally, the health care reforms that promote the preventive mode of care as well as encourage routine eye exams contribute to the expansion of this market.
