Ophthalmic Loupes Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Loupe Type (Galilean Type, Prismatic Type, Plate Loupe Type), By Loupe Design (Through-the-lens), By End-use, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2025 - 2030
Ophthalmic Loupes Market Growth & Trends
The global ophthalmic loupes market size is expected to reach USD 837.9 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.6% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growing prevalence of different eye diseases such glaucoma, cataract, and refractive errors is main factor expected to drive the overall market growth. Additionally, the growing usage of ophthalmic loupes in performing surgeries and for dental procedures due to its ability to provide higher magnification is expected to contribute towards the market growth.
Ophthalmic loupes are considered as an affordable alternative to operating microscope and helps the ophthalmologists in effectively studying eye diseases during the surgery. Ophthalmologists undergo back and neck pain while performing surgeries as they bend more to see the area of operation properly. Therefore, to avoid this pain the ophthalmologists and even clinicians are opting for the medical device. These eyeglasses are designed considering interpupillary distance, angle of declination, and working distance, that helps in maintaining the posture of the medical professional while performing the treatment.
Magnification eyeglasses are designed according to specific procedures. Galilean type telescope helps in small surgeries and are handy. Despite of its small size it comes in various magnification range from 1.7x to 3.0x. Similarly, for complicated surgeries, medical professionals required higher magnification eyeglasses and thus prefer prismatic type. Prismatic telescope provides enhanced magnification up to 8x for better treatment.
Market players are also developing different design eyeglasses which can be adjusted as per the professional requirement. Flip-up telescopes come with hinge mechanism, that helps the medical professional to set the device as per their working distance and PD and they can flip it up once the process is done. Another design of the medical device is Through-the-Lens (TTL). These telescopes are prepared specifically for the person who is going to use it considering his PD. These are light-weight and can be carried easily with the professional as the eyeglasses are fixed on the design. This helps in maintaining the posture of the individual performing the procedure.
