Corneal Pachymetry Market Size, Share, Growth Analysis, By Method Type(Ultrasonic Method and Optical Method), By Application(Glaucoma Diagnosis and Refractive Surgery), By End User(Hospitals, clinics, and Others), By Region - Industry Forecast 2024-2031

Corneal Pachymetry Market size was valued at USD 397.2 billion in 2022 and is poised to grow from USD 420.5 billion in 2023 to USD 623.9 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% in the forecast period (2024-2031).

The process of measuring the thickness of the cornea of the eye using a medical instrument called a pachymeter is called corneal pachymetry. It is possible to do corneal pachymetry using optical or ultrasonic techniques. In corneal pachymetry, the cornea's thickness is measured, often in micrometers, using an ultrasonic transducer that touches the cornea. The cornea's thickness is often measured with ultrasonography in traditional corneal pachymetry. This approach has been around for a while and is regarded as normal procedure. However, technological developments have resulted in the creation of ultrasonic instruments that are more accurate and user-friendly.

The market is driven by an increase in patients' worries about eye problems through education, an increase in the frequency of eye disorders including glaucoma, and the ageing of the population. Additionally, improvements in R&D efforts and portable glaucoma detection technology are driving the market's expansion. However, the market's growth is significantly hampered by the high cost of equipment and strict regulatory compliance requirements. Many chances will arise soon due to the rise in eye ailments such as diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma, as well as the development of innovative products by major vendors and their approval.

US Corneal Pachymetry Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.
