Results for tag: "Ophthalmic Medical Lasers"

Ophthalmic medical lasers are specialized medical devices used in the treatment of a variety of eye disorders and diseases. These precision instruments emit coherent light that is finely controlled to perform delicate procedures on the sensitive tissues of the eye. Ophthalmic lasers are employed in surgeries for vision correction, such as LASIK, as well as for therapeutic interventions including the treatment of glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal disorders. Manufacturers produce several types of ophthalmic lasers, including excimer, femtosecond, diode, and Nd:YAG lasers, each suitable for different applications depending on their specific wavelength and tissue interaction properties. The market for ophthalmic medical lasers is a subset of the broader medical devices sector, and it intersects with the fields of optometry and ophthalmology. Innovation in this market is driven by advancements in laser technology, increasing precision and safety of ocular surgeries, and the development of new applications for laser treatment. The market is also influenced by demographic trends such as aging populations and the prevalence of eye diseases, which drive demand for ophthalmic laser procedures. Prominent companies operating in the ophthalmic medical lasers market include Alcon, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Ellex Medical Lasers (now part of Lumibird Medical), IRIDEX Corporation, Lumenis, NIDEK Co., Ltd., and Topcon Corporation. These firms not only manufacture and sell ophthalmic laser systems but also often engage in research and development to advance Show Less Read more
