Ophthalmic Knife Market: By Product Type By Usage, By Blade By Application By End User, and Region Forecast 2020-2031
Ophthalmic Knife Market size was valued at US$ 2.2 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 2.9 billion by 2031, growing at a significant CAGR of 3.8% from 2025-2031. The driving force is provided by diseases such as glaucoma and cataract which requires minimally invasive surgery and improved healthcare facilities it consist of a variety of design that improve its application hence contributing to the growth in the market. Resistance to ophthalmic is the high cost of ophthalmic knives and the low focus on ophthalmology, in medicine, as compared to others. Certain innovative procedures for developing certain grade stainless steel and the introduction of various sharp knife manufacturing processes are some of the factors that can be attributed to a lot of trending opportunities and the development of the market. Ophthalmic knives are fine blades used during ophthalmic surgeries to conduct deep, precise, and precise cuts in order to minimize the surgical footprint. Ophthalmic knives are used in a wide range of ophthalmic treatments, including keratitis, glaucoma, cataract surgery, and more. Ophthalmic knives can be used only once or can be reused. They provide greater control and precision during surgical procedures, as well as exceptional sharpness, resulting in a high-quality incision. Surgical blades come in a variety of shapes and sizes, depending on the technique. In addition, the market for ophthalmic knives is being influenced by expanding government attempts to improve eye care services.
