A fundus camera is a specialized low power microscope with an attached high resolution camera. Its optical design is based on the indirect ophthalmoscope. Fundus cameras are used to diagnose various types of retinal disorders. The factors that propel the growth of the global Fundus Cameras market research report include growing occurrence of retinal disorders, rise in geriatric population, and advancement in technologies. In addition, availability of advanced fundus optical devices such as hybrid cameras with multiple functionalities is significantly fuelling the growth of the market.
Moreover, the growing applications of fundus cameras in diagnosing a range of retinal disorders at an early stage have boosted the demand for portable and high-performing fundus devices. On the other hand, there are also factors that hamper the growth of the market such as high cost related with integrating advanced technology features in fundus cameras. The global Fundus Cameras market research report is classified on the basis of product type, end users and geography.
On the basis of product type, the global Fundus Cameras market research report is classified as Mydriatic Fundus Cameras, Non Retractable Fundus Cameras, Hybrid Fundus Cameras and Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) Fundus Cameras. The Mydriatic Fundus Cameras is further sub classified as Tabletop and Handheld. The Non Retractable Fundus Cameras is further sub classified as Tabletop and Handheld.
Among the product type, Non-mydriatic fundus cameras segment is projected to account a major share of the global Fundus Cameras market research report. The key factor that drives the growth of this segment is because this device can be used for screening of glaucoma patients and those sensitive to light.
Whereas, the Hybrid Fundus Cameras is expected to grow at the highest growth rates in the global Fundus Cameras market research report. The key factor that drives the growth of this segment is owed to availability of a combination of technologies in a single device. Some of the hybrid fundus cameras commercially available include VX-20 by Kowa Optimed, Inc., CX-1 by Canon, Inc., and iFusion by Optovue, Inc. In addition, these devices are easier to use and more reliable for diagnosis of vision-threatening diseases.
