Pachymeter Device Market Overview
The size of the global pachymeter device market was roughly $19.1 billion in 2022. It is expected that this market will surge to approximately $26.1 billion by 2030 and will record the greatest growth rate of approximately 12.3% from 2023 to 2030.
The cornea, which is the transparent, dome-shaped covering that covers the front of the eye, is measured with a pachymeter, a medical instrument. The device is commonly used in ophthalmology to assess conditions such as glaucoma, corneal edema, and Fuchs’ dystrophy.
A pachymeter is a medical device that is commonly used to measure the thickness of the cornea. It usually comprises a portable probe that emits high-frequency sound waves that are aimed at the cornea. The device then measures the time it takes for the sound waves to bounce back from the cornea, which is used to calculate the thickness of the cornea.
Pachymeters are available in two types: ultrasound-based and optical-based. Ultrasound pachymeters use sound waves to measure the thickness of the cornea, while optical pachymeters use light waves. The non-invasive and painless nature of optical pachymeters makes them a popular choice among medical professionals.
Pachymeters are an essential tool for ophthalmologists and optometrists in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of eye disorders. They can also be used to check on the success of specific therapies.
