The India Ophthalmology Devices Market is set to grow from USD 661.10 million in 2024 to USD 1.12 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 6.11%. Key drivers include the rising prevalence of eye diseases, an aging population, and technological advances in ophthalmic devices. Government initiatives and increased healthcare spending further propel growth, while high costs and a lack of trained professionals pose challenges. Regional differences show growth in East, North, and South India with varying access levels and infrastructure development. Indian Ophthalmic Devices Market Dublin, May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "India Ophthalmic Devices Market Size and Share Analysis - Growth Trends and Forecast Report 2025-2033" has been added to India Ophthalmology Devices Market is on a promising trajectory, projected to rise from USD 661.10 million in 2024 to USD 1.12 billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 6.11% The surge is fueled by increasing eye disease incidences, the elders' growing demographic, and technological advancements in ophthalmic devices. Crucial drivers include the prevalence of cataracts, glaucoma, refractive errors, and diabetic retinopathy, escalating with an aging population and diabetes spread. Enhanced government measures like the National Programme for Control of Blindness (NPCB) and private investments in advancing ophthalmic technologies play pivotal roles. AI-enhanced diagnostics and teleophthalmology significantly extend access in rural regions, while awareness and cost reductions propel market demand. Significant market growth factors encompass the high occurrence of eye disorders in India and technological strides in ophthalmic equipment such as AI-based diagnostics, robotic surgeries, and advanced laser therapies. Breakthrough instruments like optical coherence tomography (OCT) and affordable intraocular lenses (IOLs) broaden the availability of cutting-edge ophthalmic care, enhancing early detection and treatment efficacy. C3 Med-Tech's investment in bringing AI-powered eye screening devices exemplifies such advancements. Government initiatives and rising healthcare investment are central to the market's expansion. The government drives accessibility through programs like the Ayushman Bharat scheme, sponsoring new ophthalmic facilities and insurance coverage increases. The 'Comprehensive Eye Care Programme' in Karnataka aims to benefit underprivileged populations, supported by efforts for innovative ocular devices and solutions. Challenges remain, with the high cost of advanced devices hindering widespread adoption, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas. Limited numbers of experienced ophthalmologists further dilute accessibility, although efforts in teleophthalmology and capacity-building persist. Within specific segments, the intraocular lenses market flourishes due to rising cataract surgeries, offering improved multifocal IOLs. Government initiatives for cost-effective IOLs and domestic production facilitate market growth against a backdrop of heightened cataract surgery awareness. The laser devices market benefits from precision surgeries like LASIK, despite the high costs, with technological development likely to spur future uptake. Demand for ophthalmoscopes and corneal topography systems escalates as conditions like diabetic retinopathy and keratoconus are diagnosed more frequently. Though cost and device availability challenge rural deployment, tech advancements push growth. Contact lenses enjoy increased demand for non-invasive vision correction, fueled by urban lifestyles and disposable income growth, even as educational gaps in lens care persist. The East, North, and South India markets each exhibit distinct growth patterns, supported by government investments, urban infrastructure, and renowned eye care institutions. Companies like Alcon Inc., Bausch Health Companies Inc., and Essilor International SA are instrumental market players deploying robust strategies across the ophthalmic landscape. As these trends unfold, the India Ophthalmology Devices Market is poised to significantly transform eye care services nationwide.

Early treatment of lazy eye key for ‘bright' furture
Hyderabad: A recent study, jointly conducted by the doctors of the LV Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI) and Queensland University in Australia, found that the adverse effects of lazy eye ( amblyopia ) and squint (strabismus) can persist into adulthood if not treated early. Typically considered paediatric conditions that develop in early childhood, these issues affect a patient's reading ability, motor skills, quality of life, and more. Doctors warn that these conditions can also lead to psychological impacts, including low self-esteem, reduced confidence, increased anxiety, and depression. The study was conducted to determine the extent of the effect of these two conditions on the patients. Researchers pointed out that the existing clinical establishments for lazy eye and squinting were insufficient to fully evaluate their effects on a patient's reading proficiency and driving ability. Titled 'Fine Motor Skills, Reading Speed, and Self-Reported Quality of Life in Adults with Amblyopia and/or Strabismus', the study was published in an online journal, Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science (IOVS). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Just two years old and diagnosed with cancer—help save her! Donate For Health Donate Now Undo In case of lazy eye, a person's eye does not develop regular vision during early childhood. Doctors explain that the condition arises from defects in the way information is transmitted from the eye to the brain. As a result, the brain relies more on the healthy eye, causing the affected eye to be neglected and ultimately impaired. The study included 95 participants, aged 18 to 40, from the LVPEI's Bhubaneswar centre. These included 23 adults with a lazy eye, 20 with a squint, and 52 with both amblyopia and strabismus. None of the participants had any prior ocular (eye) or neurological disorders. Another 19 individuals with normal vision were included to set up a comparison. After conducting various tests on participant's motor skills and reading proficiency, doctors found that all the participants with a lazy eye, squint, or both performed 'below average' or 'well below average' in comparison to those with normal vision. A 2023 survey, conducted by the institutue on the school-going children (4 to 15 years) in Telangana, found that of the 7.74 lakh children who were screened, around 9,000 (1.16%) suffered from visual impairment. At present, the state implements Union govt-sponsored National Programme for Control of Blindness (NPCB) to support visually impaired people. Dr Debasmita Majhi, Consultant Ophthalmologist, LVPEI, said, "The lazy eye usually manifests during childhood. It often develops into a squint, which is misaligned, pointing inwards or outwards. But both conditions can also exist independently." "The reading speed of those with lazy eyes and/or squint was also significantly slower. Most participants say that the inability to see with both eyes (low binocular function) is their biggest hindrance. Strabismus (squint) was also found to be a predominant reason for the affected people to have low confidence," said Dr Vivek Warkad, Consultant Pediatric, Strabismus, LVPEI. Doctors stressed that a early diagnosis and treatment of lazy eye during childhood are critical, as untreated conditions can have lifelong consequences.
