WinterGreen Research announces that it has published a new
study Femtosecond Lasers for Cataract Surgery Market Shares, Strategy, and
Forecasts, Worldwide, 2013 to 2019. The 2013 study has 301 pages, 78 tables and
figures. Worldwide markets are poised to achieve continuing growth as the aging
population worldwide develops cataracts and need surgery. All older people
develop cataracts, femtosecond lasers for cataract surgery improve the quality
of the surgery in a dramatic manner.
Femtosecond laser technology for cataract surgery represents
a paradigm shift. Surgeons approach cataract surgery with the ability to use
automated process that is more reliable and more repeatable than manual
techniques previously available. Alcon LenSx femtosecond lasers increase
precision for key manual steps of the cataract surgery procedure.
This femtosecond laser cataract surgical system equipment
makes it possible to deliver reproducible, predictable, and improved clinical
outcomes for cataract surgery. Through image-guided visualization and
micron-level laser precision, the surgeon has complete control over the surgery
process. Femtosecond laser cataract surgical systems offer an improved patient
safety profile.

Because of the simultaneous change in demographics and the
introduction of automated process, ophthalmologists are facing an explosion in
demand for their services the next 20 years. The aging of the baby boomers and
the fact that patients older than 65 consume 10 times the eye care of patients
younger than 65 creates unprecedented demand for cataract surgery.
Cataracts are a clouding of the eye's natural lens that
impairs one's ability to see clearly. With two accommodating Intraocular Lens
IOLs likely to be approved within the next 12 months, the premium market is
again exciting.
Cataract surgical technology is evolving rapidly.
Laser-assisted cataract surgery technology is gaining traction with clinicians.
Surgeons are getting trained in the techniques needed to perform surgeries
using these new types of equipment. The motivation to learn the new surgical
techniques is that the equipment comes with the promise of improved surgical
precision.
Ultrasonic phacoemulsification, the standard of care in
cataract removal equipment for four decades, has been in great part responsible
for the safety and effectiveness of modern cataract surgery. It is certain to
remain the dominant lens removal technology in the near term. A technology still
in its infancy, laser-assisted cataract surgery using femtosecond lasers and
picosecond lasers, promises to raise the standard of precision and safety to
new heights. Numerous types, and styles of Intraocular Lenses (IOLs), varying
in size, and attachment mechanisms compliment the introduction of the
femtosecond laser cataract surgical systems.
Cataract procedures for eye care have improved in accuracy
as femtosecond laser-assisted surgery is introduced. Cataract surgery changes
are documented in clinical trial and papers. Presentations have provided
statistical proof of the potential of the new technology. The research proving
effectiveness is of a breakthrough proportion. Precision, control, and efficacy
of femtosecond lasers have exceeded manual incisional techniques faster than
was anticipated.
Patient populations have significant demand for improved
visions as they age. Much of the over 65 population eludes the term elderly as
people still remain active into their 70's, 80's and 90's thanks to health
clubs and lifestyle changes including lots of exercise and healthy eating. The
over 65 and elderly population segment is soaring. Life expectancies are
climbing, and extended careers are becoming the norm.
As a result, growing needs and expectations for good vision
in all ranges have created significant new market opportunities, expanding
demand for multifocal and accommodating laser surgery. Surgeries are position
to correct presbyopia, aspheric optics that address spherical aberration and
make vision sharper, and support phakic IOLs allowing treatment of extreme
refractive error.
Femtosecond lasers for cataract surgery market driving
forces include the aging of the population. With age, all people have cataracts
which can be cured with IOL. There is an ever-increasing baby boom aging
population. There is a growing precision of cataract surgery. Safety of
cataract surgical medical devices and lenses are primary market concerns. More
advanced procedures are driving an increase in cataract surgery. Lower costs
per surgery are driving an increase in cataract surgery.
Cataract surgical technology is evolving rapidly. Premium
intraocular lenses (IOLs) introduced during the past decade and those still in
the pipeline are raising patient's post-cataract visual expectations.
Laser-assisted cataract surgery technology is gaining traction with clinicians.
Surgeons are getting trained in the techniques needed to perform surgeries
these new types of equipment. The motivation to learn the new surgical
techniques is that the equipment comes with the promise of improved surgical
precision.
According to Susan Eustis, lead author of the WinterGreen
Research team that prepared the femtosecond lasers for cataract surgery market
research study, "Superior image quality brings clinical improvement.
Patients are thrilled when they can see so much more clearly."
As a result, growing needs and expectations for good vision
in all ranges have created significant new market opportunities, expanding
demand for multifocal and accommodating IOLs designed to correct presbyopia,
aspheric optics that address spherical aberration and make vision sharper, and
phakic IOLs allowing treatment of extreme refractive error.
Cataract surgery lasers markets at $572 million in 2012 are
anticipated to reach $1.1 billion by 2013 and forecast to reach $2.4 billion
dollars by 2019. Growth is a result of new competitors in the market, demand
for the laser technology by patients, and the market need by surgeons for
greater accuracy in cataract surgery.
