Eye Testing Equipment Market Report 2025

This Eye Testing Equipment market report provides a comprehensive analysis of the market’s characteristics, size, and growth, including segmentation, regional and country-level breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends, and strategies. It also tracks historical and forecasted market growth across various geographies.

The eye testing equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.27 billion in 2024 to $3.54 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of vision disorders, a growing geriatric population, rising awareness about eye health, government initiatives for vision care, and increasing healthcare expenditure.

The eye testing equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.75 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing adoption of telemedicine, growing demand for portable and handheld devices, rising prevalence of diabetes and related eye disorders, increasing focus on preventive healthcare, and an expanding middle-class population. Major trends in the forecast period include the integration of AI and machine learning in diagnostics, the increasing use of virtual reality in eye examinations, the rise in demand for personalized eye care solutions, the development of advanced imaging technologies, and growing collaboration between tech companies and healthcare providers.

The eye-testing equipment market is anticipated to grow significantly due to the rising prevalence of eye-related disorders. These disorders encompass various conditions affecting the eyes, such as glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and refractive errors such as myopia and hyperopia. Factors contributing to the increased number of patients with these disorders include aging populations, changes in lifestyle, environmental influences, and inadequate diagnostic capabilities leading to delayed detection. Eye testing equipment plays a crucial role in early detection, precise diagnosis, and continuous monitoring of conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as of January 2024, over 3.4 million Americans aged 40 and older were visually impaired or blind, a number projected to double by 2030. Hence, the growing prevalence of eye-related disorders is expected to propel the eye-testing equipment market forward.

Leading companies in the eye-testing equipment sector are innovating advanced devices to improve diagnostic accuracy and streamline screening processes. One notable advancement is the development of handheld artificial intelligence fundus cameras. These cameras use AI technology to capture detailed images of the eye's fundus, aiding in the diagnosis of various eye conditions. For example, in May 2024, Optomed USA introduced the Optomed Aurora AEYE, a handheld AI-powered fundus camera designed specifically to swiftly detect diabetic retinopathy beyond mild stages. This device simplifies screening procedures with its user-friendly interface, requiring just one image per eye and delivering results in under a minute.
