Wide Field Imaging Systems Market size and Key Trends in terms of volume and value 2016-2026

Fundus photography and fluorescein angiography have long served to aid ophthalmologists in evaluation, management and documentation of various eye related disorders but limits its ability to deliver significant imaging results. Majority of the eye related disorders such as diabetic retinopathy, hypersensitive retinopathy and ocular ischemic syndrome affects the entire retina. In such cases, use of wide field imaging systems has evolved as a remarkable technology expanding its ability to image the entire retina gaining a new understanding of the role of such technologies in the management of various kinds of retinal disorders. Typical fundus camera captures 30 to 50 degree views of retina and optic nerve compared to wide field imaging system that can deliver 100-200 degrees to the periphery or beyond equator revealing pathologies such as ischemia or neurovascular proliferation that cannot be identified using standard techniques such as angiography. Wide field imaging systems demonstrates its extended applications in retinopathy pathologies particularly of ascular nature including diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, retinal vasculitis, choroidial masses and retinopathy of prematurity.

<strong>Wide</strong> <strong>Field</strong> <strong>Imag<strong>in</strong>g</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> <strong>Market</strong><br />

Fundus photography <strong>and</strong> fluoresce<strong>in</strong> angiography have long served to aid ophthalmologists <strong>in</strong> evaluation,<br />

management <strong>and</strong> documentation <strong>of</strong> various eye related disorders but limits its ability to deliver significant<br />

imag<strong>in</strong>g results. Majority <strong>of</strong> the eye related disorders such as diabetic ret<strong>in</strong>opathy, hypersensitive<br />

ret<strong>in</strong>opathy <strong>and</strong> ocular ischemic syndrome affects the entire ret<strong>in</strong>a. In such cases, use <strong>of</strong> wide field imag<strong>in</strong>g<br />

systems has evolved as a remarkable technology exp<strong>and</strong><strong>in</strong>g its ability to image the entire ret<strong>in</strong>a ga<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g a<br />

new underst<strong>and</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> the role <strong>of</strong> such technologies <strong>in</strong> the management <strong>of</strong> various k<strong>in</strong>ds <strong>of</strong> ret<strong>in</strong>al disorders.<br />

Typical fundus camera captures 30 to 50 degree views <strong>of</strong> ret<strong>in</strong>a <strong>and</strong> optic nerve compared to wide field<br />

imag<strong>in</strong>g system that can deliver 100-200 degrees to the periphery or beyond equator reveal<strong>in</strong>g pathologies<br />

such as ischemia or neurovascular proliferation that cannot be identified us<strong>in</strong>g st<strong>and</strong>ard techniques such as<br />

angiography. <strong>Wide</strong> field imag<strong>in</strong>g systems demonstrates its extended applications <strong>in</strong> ret<strong>in</strong>opathy pathologies<br />

particularly <strong>of</strong> ascular nature <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g diabetic ret<strong>in</strong>opathy, ret<strong>in</strong>al ve<strong>in</strong> occlusion, ret<strong>in</strong>al vasculitis,<br />

choroidial masses <strong>and</strong> ret<strong>in</strong>opathy <strong>of</strong> prematurity.<br />

For <strong>in</strong>stance, Optos 200Tx, manufactured by Dunferml<strong>in</strong>e, is an ultra-wide field imag<strong>in</strong>g system imag<strong>in</strong>g<br />

system, which produces a 200 degrees view <strong>of</strong> the ret<strong>in</strong>a. The system utilizes a comb<strong>in</strong>ed scann<strong>in</strong>g laser<br />

ophthalmoscopy (SLO) with mirror to obta<strong>in</strong> images <strong>of</strong> the ret<strong>in</strong>al periphery elim<strong>in</strong>at<strong>in</strong>g the need for bright<br />

illum<strong>in</strong>ation light<strong>in</strong>g or a contact lens, <strong>and</strong> <strong>in</strong> some patients, pupillary dilation. Many others companies such<br />

as Visunex Medical <strong>Systems</strong> is engaged <strong>in</strong> develop<strong>in</strong>g the best wide field systems for preserv<strong>in</strong>g healthy<br />

vision for all newborn babies across the world. Approximately four millions children’s are born <strong>in</strong> the U.S.<br />

each year. Newborn vision screen<strong>in</strong>g is cl<strong>in</strong>ically important <strong>in</strong> evaluat<strong>in</strong>g ret<strong>in</strong>opathy <strong>of</strong> prematurity (ROP)<br />

<strong>and</strong> ret<strong>in</strong>oblastoma (RB) which are life-threaten<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> can lead to newborn vision loss.<br />
