REPORT DESCRIPTION<br />

<strong>Wavefront</strong> <strong>Aberrometers</strong> <strong>Market</strong> – Overview<br />

<strong>Wavefront</strong> aberrometers are diagnostic devices that measure aberrations of the eye from cornea to the retina.<br />

The device helps eye care practitioners to diagnose and cure eye ailments, and it is also used in laser eye<br />

surgery to ensure high accuracy. The light emitted by the device passes through the eye, measuring the light<br />

exiting the eye, enabling ophthalmologists to measure wavefront. An aberrometer helps doctors and physicians<br />

to screen patients with compromised vision and allows physicians to measure highly distorted eyes.<br />

A wavefront aberrometer helps to produce a map of imperfections from the recorded data achieved from<br />

several spots on the surface of the cornea, thus providing information for performing customized laser eye<br />

surgery.<br />

Increasing number of product launches, in order to improve the ability for correcting refractive errors is<br />

expected to drive the market growth. For instance, in August 2018, Essilor Instruments launched new Wave<br />

Analyzer Medica (WAM700+) wavefront aberrometer based on Shack-Hartmann wavefront technology,<br />

allowing simplified eye screening. The instrument features complete anterior chamber analysis and visual<br />

need assessment to assess conditions such as cataract, glaucoma, and others.<br />
