Abstract
Ophthalmology is entering one of the most remarkable phases in recent history
of this industry; new technologies and treatment modalities for both visual
acuity and major eye diseases may dramatically change the composition and
competitive dynamics of this market. As RK and LASIK changed the market a few
years ago, even newer competitive technologies are just now emerging. From the
advent of photodynamic therapy and new drug delivery techniques to
revolutionary surgical approaches to refractive vision correction,
ophthalmology is poised to see a plethora of new treatment options.
This major new report covers the US and international markets for refractive
vision correction, including
- Myopia,
- Hyperopia,
- Presbyopia, and

macular edema, and detached retina.
In addition to comprehensive analysis of the market forces and competitive
dynamics, the study provides extensively detailed market size, market growth,
procedure volume and market share data for each subsegment through 2008,
including details on:
- Laser systems for vision correction,
- Lens implants for vision correction,
- Diagnostic and visual acuity services,
- Cararact surgery,
- Intraocular lenses (IOLs) for cataracts,
- Ophthalmic pharmaceuticals for glaucoma,
- Diagnostics for glaucoma, and
- Treatments and diagnostics for AMD and other vitreoretinal conditions,
including photodynamic therapy (PDT) and anti-vascular endothelial growth
factor (anti-VEGF)
Complete market forecasts are also provided by disease or vision condition (as
noted above) and by provider segment, including
