Glaucoma and retinal diagnostic equipment generated nearly 50 percent of the revenues in the entire ophthalmic diagnostic equipment market in 2008. As populations age worldwide and as access to improved healthcare increases in many regions, markets for this specialized diagnostic equipment will grow, particularly in rapidly developing nations. New diagnostic technologies are also providing an unprecedented level of visualization, revealing the intricate layers of the retina and the optic disc with greater clarity and detail than ever before. These and other technologies are refining disease monitoring, providing more accurate measurement, and serving as improved guides for treatment.
