Ophthalmoscopes are used by healthcare professionals to examine the interior structures of the eye, allowing for early detection of common and rare eye diseases. Advanced ophthalmoscopes incorporate premium LED illumination and precision optics to provide vivid, high-definition views of the retina and transparent media with no need for pupillary dilation. Portable ophthalmoscopes with rechargeable batteries enable on-the-go eye screening in clinical and community settings.
Ophthalmoscopes are essential instruments for comprehensive eye exams. They allow optometrists and ophthalmologists to directly visualize the retina, optic disc, macula, and posterior vitreous. This aids diagnosis of age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, and retinal detachments.
The global Ophthalmoscopes Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 246.4 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.7% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
