In 2018, the global ophthalmic lasers market was valued at USD 479.0 million and is
projected to reach USD 989.9 million by 2032, reflecting a compound annual growth rate
(CAGR) of 5.3% over the forecast period from 2018 to 2032. North America led the market in
2018, accounting for a 29.08% share.
The ophthalmic lasers market plays a crucial role in modern eye care, offering advanced
solutions for the diagnosis and treatment of various ocular conditions such as cataracts,
glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and refractive errors. These laser systems provide precise,
minimally invasive treatment options, reducing recovery time and improving clinical
outcomes. The market is driven by the rising global prevalence of eye disorders, growing
geriatric population, and continuous technological innovations in laser systems. Increasing
demand for outpatient procedures, coupled with improving healthcare infrastructure and
awareness about early vision care, further accelerates market growth. As accessibility to
ophthalmic treatments expands in emerging economies, the ophthalmic lasers market is
expected to witness sustained growth across both developed and developing regions.
