Phoropters Market Will Continue to Generate Major Revenue by 2028
Posted: Oct 10, 2018
Phoropters are medical devices used for ophthalmic testing. They are commonly known as refractors. Phoropters are most commonly used by ophthalmologists during eye examination. They contain different lenses that are used for the refraction of the eye during sight testing. Phoropters are also used to measure an individual’s refractive error and determine his or her prescription. During sight testing, phoropters are used to switch multiple lenses in the front of the eyes to correct vision.
Phoropters are ingenious modalities used to quickly determine the exact vision correction need for an individual. Phoropters are also used to measure heterophorias, accommodative amplitudes and accommodative lags/logs/posture, horizontal & vertical vergences and more. Some of the major components of phoropters are batteries of spherical & cylindrical lenses and auxiliary devices such as Maddox rods, prisms & the Jackson Cross-Cylinder. The prisms in phoropters are also used to analyse binocular vision and treat ophthalmic problems. Initially, in the mid-1910s, monocular optometers were used as opposed to phoropters binocular refracting devices that could also measure ducitons, phorias and other traits of binocularity. Phoropters are either made with plus or minus cylinders. Generally, ophthalmologists and orthoptists use plus cylinder phoropters and optometrists use minus cylinder phoropters. Figures can be mathematically converted based on the figures obtained from either type of phoropter.

Phoropters Market: Drivers and Restraints
The growing prevalence and recurrence of astigmatism is expected to be a major factor driving the phoropters market over the forecast period. As per Nature, a science journal, more than 650 million people suffer from refractive disorders, of which approximately 285 million become visually impaired. Changes in lifestyle and increase in the levels of air pollution are contributing to the growing prevalence of eye disorders. The launch and addition of new products is another factor contributing to the growth of the global phoropters market. For instance, in 2016, Reichert, Inc. launched Phoropter VRx, which has set a new standard in digital refraction with the thinnest & most compact design, motorized prisms, incredibly fast lens exchanges, ultra-quiet operational functionalities and split cylinder lenses.
