The global market for ophthalmic knives is a bimodal market with numerous players dotting the low-tech segments and a few players dominating the high-tech segments, which include diamond knives. Ophthalmic Knives market players should form collaborations with large hospitals to provide customized solutions. Diamond ophthalmic knives need an elaborate preparation, which includes sharpening, and their high cost acts as a restraint for the market. However, diamond ophthalmic knives provide a superior cut, which is their value proposition as compared to metal knives.

Ophthalmic knives are fine blades designed for performing deep, fine and precision cuts during ophthalmic surgeries to reduce the surgical footprint. These are manufactured by using special alloys and have low tolerance.

Ophthalmic Knives Market: Drivers and Restraints

Increase in the incidence of ophthalmic diseases, such as cataracts, keratosis and others, coupled with the growing adoption of surgery is the prime driver of the global ophthalmic knives market. The World Health Organization estimates that cataract is the most common eye ailment, which has caused blindness in 23 million people or 51% of the world’s blindness. The World Health Organization further states that an estimated 285 million people are visually impaired worldwide, of which 246 million people have low vision. Thus, there is a large market for ophthalmic knives owing to an increase in the number of treatments for cataract and national plans for the prevention of blindness.

The technological drivers of the ophthalmic knives market include the growth of the medical devices industry, coupled with the adoption of complimentary diagnostic devices such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT) and others, which are among factors boosting the surgery segment. The adoption of minimal invasive surgical techniques, such as ultramicrotomy and Small Incision Cataract Surgery (SICS), is also boosting the market of advanced diamond-tipped ophthalmic knives.

However, the high cost of the ophthalmic knives, the low-volume high-value nature of the market which resists economy of scale, and the low emphasis on ophthalmology in medicine as compared to other specialties are some of the factors hampering the growth of the ophthalmic knives market.
