Market Scope is pleased to announce publication of our most recent report on the global presbyopia surgery market. Rising vision expectations and technological innovations will fuel this developing market, which we expect to achieve triple-digit growth in the next ten years. While current options for treatment of presbyopia remain limited and require compromise, many promising technologies are in late stages of development, and a growing network of surgeons and surgery centers is poised to meet the burgeoning demand.
Following a protracted decline that began in 2007, we expect global demand for laser refractive surgery to start improving in 2010 and to subsequently return to previous levels and growth rates. However, much of the growth in the coming years will be driven by increasing demand in rapidly emerging markets, while recovery will be slower in the US and in Europe.
Our refractive quarterly updates report on performance in the US refractive market based on responses to our quarterly surveys of hundreds of US refractive surgeons. We track quarterly refractive procedure volume, laser center ownership, surgery locations, wavefront-driven LASIK procedures, microkeratome use by maker, procedure market share by laser or other technology, procedure fees and pricing trends, the installed base of excimer lasers, market share by laser manufacturer, and additional cross-tabulations. We provide data from previous quarters for trend analysis, and each quarter we offer a full-year forecast based on the latest information. Data is presented in color charts, graphs and tables with concise narratives emphasizing key data points. We also provide an overview summarizing the quarter’s results and trends.
US Refractive Quarterly Updates are published approximately 45 days following the end of each calendar quarter. The year’s four quarterly reports are sold as an annual subscription at a price of $5,000. A single edition of the US Refractive Quarterly Update may be purchased for $1,600.
Our Annual Refractive Surgeon Survey is designed to gather information that increases the understanding of industry dynamics and provides important insights into leading industry trends. Our analyses yield accurate and valuable information about surgeons’ opinions and their use of products, techniques and procedures.
