Corneal pachymetry is the process of measuring the thickness of the cornea. A pachymeter is a medical device which is used for measure the thickness of the thickness of the eye’s cornea. It is used to perform corneal pachymetry before refractive surgery for keratinous screening, cataract, LRI surgery and is useful in screening for patients suspected of developing glaucoma among other uses. It may be done using either ultrasonic or optical methods. In corneal pachymetry, pachymeter by the use of ultrasonic transducer which touches the cornea and measures the thickness of the cornea generally in micrometres.
The Asia Pacific corneal pachymetry market is witnessing tremendous growth during the forecast period of 2022 - 2028. The rise in prevalence of glaucoma is propelling growth of Asia Pacific corneal pachymetry market. The increasing geriatric population is also boosting growth of Asia Pacific corneal pachymetry market. The innovative headways in handheld medical devices for distinguishing glaucoma and progression in R&D exercise is also refuelling growth of Asia Pacific corneal pachymetry market. However, stringent government regulation is hampering the growth of Asia Pacific corneal pachymetry market.
MRC provides a 360 degree analysis of micro and macro-economic factors on the corneal pachymetry Market. In addition, complete analysis of changes on corneal pachymetry expenditure, economic and international policies on supply and demand side. The report also studies the impact of pandemic on Asia Pacific economies, international trade, business investments, GDP and marketing strategies of key players present in the market. The market is hampered by the COVID-19 the global pandemic situations as there is shutdown in many countries. The mismatch between demand and supply is also hindered the growth of corneal pachymetry market during the COVID-19 period.
The Asia Pacific corneal pachymetry market is categorised into type, application, end user and country.
By type, the Asia Pacific corneal pachymetry market is segmented into ultrasonic and optical. The optical pachymetry is also contributing to the growth of Asia Pacific corneal pachymetry market in 2020. The optical pachymetry is the process in which measurement of eye cornea takes place. The pachymeter device is used to get the measurement needed, which can be used prior to certain eye surgeries like refractive surgery or also to look for signs of glaucoma. The rising demand for eye care in recent years is propelling growth of Asia Pacific corneal pachymetry market.
By application, the Asia Pacific corneal pachymetry market is bifurcated into refractive surgery and glaucoma diagnostic. The glaucoma diagnostic is also contributing to the growth of Asia Pacific corneal pachymetry market. Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions which damage the optic nerve. This damage is often caused by an abnormally high pressure in eye. Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness for people over the age of 60.
By end user, the Asia Pacific corneal pachymetry market is categorised into hospitals, clinics and others. The clinics is also contributing to the growth of Asia Pacific corneal pachymetry market. The growing prevalence of eye related disorder is boosting growth of Asia Pacific corneal pachymetry market. The rising geriatric population is also boosting growth of Asia Pacific corneal pachymetry market. The innovative headways in handheld medical devices is also refuelling growth of Asia Pacific corneal pachymetry market.
The Asia Pacific corneal pachymetry market is studied for key countries such as China, India, Japan, Australia and South Korea. The China followed by India and Japan are anticipated to dominate the market in 2020. The rising development of novel technologies in healthcare industry is propelling growth of Asia Pacific corneal pachymetry market. The rising research and development activities is also boosting growth of Asia Pacific corneal pachymetry market.
The various key players of corneal pachymetry market are Reichert, Dgh Technology, Tomey, Micro Medical Devices, Nidek Accutome Inc., Sonomed Escalon, Oculus, Konan Medical, Optovue, Optikon and Meda Co. among others.
