Fundus cameras, optical coherence tomography scanners, ophthalmic ultrasound imaging systems, tonometers, slit lamps, and corneal topographs are some examples of ophthalmic diagnostic tools used in the treatment of eye problems. Refractive, vitreoretinal, cataract, and glaucoma devices are among the other technologies. This includes devices like intra operational OCT, intra operative aberrometry, image-guided systems, and others. A non-invasive imaging procedure called optical coherence tomography (OCT) uses light waves to create cross-sectional pictures of the eyes. These measures assist the ophthalmologist in mapping and measuring the thickness of each unique layer of the eye. Using a technology called intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT), ocular surgeons can assess the results of surgical adjustments in real time. Intraoperative optical coherence tomography might prove to be a valuable tool in the surgical context. Ultrasonography - B-scan is one of the type of ophthalmic imaging.
Market Dynamics
Ophthalmic devices are used to diagnose ocular deficits or abnormalities and to cure eye conditions. In eye surgery settings, ophthalmic surgical microscopes are used to enhance the surgeons' or ophthalmologist's vision of patient's eye parts. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and image guided systems have recently been integrated into surgical microscope technology. An article published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information ( NCBI ) on June 2, 2020, explained impact of microscope-integrated optical coherence tomography was in found its application in glaucoma surgery, in which it can assist the surgeon in filtering and non-filtering procedures. In trabeculectomy, MI-OCT allows for visualization of the exact postsurgical anatomy of the sclera, Schlemm’s canal, trabecular meshwork, and anterior chamber.
