South Korea Ophthalmic Devices Market - Growth, Trends, Covid-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2023 - 2028)

Ophthalmic devices are medical equipment designed for diagnosis, surgical, and vision correction purposes. These devices have gained increasing importance and adoption due to the rising burden of various eye diseases, such as glaucoma, cataract, and other vision-related issues.

In many developed and developing countries, eye conditions have emerged as potential threats to the populations. Cataract surgery is considered as the most commonly performed surgery in South Korea.

Hence, as the number of eye disorders increases, there is a large demand for ophthalmic devices that are used for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, driving the market growth over the forecast period. However, risk associated with ophthalmic procedures is expected to hinder the market growth.
