Market Trends of Synoptophore Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Synoptophore Market according to our research experts:
Therapeutic Application is Expected to Witness a Significant Growth Over the Forecast Period
By application, the therapeutic segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. Synoptophore device is majorly used in the treatment of ocular motility disorders. It performs the most comprehensive binocular vision assessment and is reliable. Standard measurements allow assessment of fusional amplitudes, simultaneous perception, and stereopsis in case of abnormal retinal correspondence or horizontal, vertical, or torsional ocular misalignment.
A 2021 IEEE Conference revealed that synoptophore is increasingly used for binocular vision (BV). Synoptophore evaluates three grades of BV. As per the 2020 statistics by the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), the prevalence of anisometropic amblyopia is about 5.2% in children. As per the same source, amblyopia is the most common cause of low visual acuity in children and adults in developed countries, with an incidence of 3% to 6%. The success rate via occlusion therapy is not very promising, and vision is improved to a high degree using a synoptophore to stimulate the amblyopic eye. Therefore, the demand for synoptophore devices helps healthcare facilities treat visual acuity disorders.
Thus, given the above-mentioned factors, the segment is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period.
North America is Dominant Region in the Synoptophore Market
In North America, the market in the United States is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period. Major factors contributing to the growth of the market in the country are the increasing incidence of visual acuity disorders, such as strabismus and amblyopia, and the rising inclination for non-surgical treatment procedures.
As per the 2021 statistics by Prevent Blindness, in the United States, more females than males experience permanent vision loss in the ratio of 3 females for every 2 males. This fuels the adoption of vision correction using synoptophore. Moreover, increasing research and development in the region is anticipated to fuel the demand for synoptophore devices. For instance, in the United States, as per a 2021 update by the Research to Prevent Blindness (RPB), it provides major eye research funding to 37 leading scientific institutions and supports the work of vision scientists engaged in a diverse range of disease-oriented research. Furthermore, the technologically advanced infrastructure of North America is anticipated to fuel the production of advanced automatic synoptophore devices.
Thus, given the above-mentioned factors, the synoptophore market is anticipated to grow significantly over the forecast period in North America.
