Ophthalmology PACS, or picture archiving and communication system, refers to a medical information system designed for the storage, retrieval, management, and transmission of images and scanned documents generated from ophthalmology procedures and exams. As a digital alternative to storing physical films and documents, ophthalmology PACS allows eye doctors and clinicians to access patient media from anywhere through secure internet connections. This streamlines workflows for retina specialists, ophthalmologists, and optometrists handling high volumes of patient cases. With optical coherence tomography and other advanced imaging technologies generating more visual data per patient eye exam, ophthalmology PACS serves as a crucial tool for managing these large image files in an organized, searchable archive.
Market Dynamics:
The global ophthalmology PACS market is driven by the rising geriatric population and associated age-related eye diseases, increasing adoption of electronic health records, and advantages of digital archiving over physical film storage. However, high costs of deployment and maintenance of ophthalmology PACS inhibit its market growth. Key opportunities include the integration of artificial intelligence for automating image analysis, growing teleophthalmology practices, and rising eye care infrastructure in developing countries.
