capabilities of these devices. Accordingly, the
global retinal imaging devices market is
estimated to garner 9322.89 million by 2032,
projecting a CAGR of 5.93 during the forecast
period, 2023-2032.
This blog will examine the current competitive
landscape of the global retinal imaging devices
market Leading companies in the retinal imaging
devices market have driven innovations, shaping
the industrys competitive landscape. These
players have introduced cutting-edge
technologies, setting new standards for device
accuracy and ease of use. Strategic
Developments by Key Players ZEISS will showcase
the new ZEISS ATLAS 500ZEISS will showcase the
new ZEISS ATLAS 500, a next-generation corneal
topography system, at the European Society of
Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ESCRS) annual
conference from September 8th-12th, 2023, in
Vienna, Austria. It combines corneal topography
and dry eye assessment tools for intelligent
clinical decision-making. It is a multimodality
solution for the anterior eye segment. Also, it
offers a well-organized, intuitive, and
integrated interface for efficient
operation. Further, it integrates into the ZEISS
cataract and corneal refractive workflows. Says
Dr. Edward Boshnick, Specialist in the
Non-Surgical Restoration of Quality Vision and
Owner of
Global Vision Rehabilitation Center, Florida,
With the ATLAS 500 I can easily capture

images of my patients eye with amazing detail,
and it helps me to understand my patients dry
eye disease. (Source) TOPCON CORPORATION
acquires SATEL On 20th June 2023, TOPCON
announced the acquisition of SATEL Oy. SATEL is a
leading innovator in wireless technology
globally. It designs, offers, and manufactures
high-quality connectivity solutions that
facilitate mission- critical, secure connections
using the optimal characteristics of different
communication technologies for real-life use
cases. Says Ray OConnor, TOPCON
Positioning Systems president and CEO, As our
products and services have evolved from
individual measurement tools to complete,
multi-node workflow automation solutions, the
significance of advanced communication technology
has grown. Through this acquisition we are able
to secure long term access to a key technology
component for our portfolio today and in the
future. (Source) NIDEK launches NT-1/1e Non
Contact Tonometer Models On 17th April 2023,
NIDEK CO LTD announced the launch of the NT-1/1e
Non Contact Tonometer models. The NT-1p/1 is
equipped with an air nozzle contact sensor to
prioritize patient safety and conduct fully
automated measurements. When the patient
positions their chin on the chinrest, the device
autonomously identifies the eye position and
records measurements, eliminating the need for
operator intervention. While the NT-1e serves as
a fundamental model for manual measurements with
excellent user-friendliness, it retains the NT-1
series standard 3D auto-tracking function,
ensuring precise, straightforward, and rapid
measurements. Motoki Ozawa, President and CEO of
NIDEK CO LTD says, The NT-1 series offers
optimal products that satisfy a wide range of
customer needs to meet clinical care. Leveraging
our expertise in optical technology and
engineering, we will continue to develop products
that address our customers needs for efficient
patient throughput while maintaining a small
device footprint ensuring good patient flow at
clinical facilities and optical shops.

Developments AI and machine learning algorithms
are being integrated into retinal imaging devices
to assist healthcare professionals in automating
image analysis and detecting abnormalities with
greater accuracy. This trend enhances diagnostic
capabilities and workflow efficiency. AI-Integrate
d Developments for Eye Scans Researchers from
Germany and the United Kingdom are using
artificial intelligence (AI) to develop a system
that will facilitate widespread testing alongside
enhanced efficiency. On 10th June 2023, Dr.
Nikolas Pontikos, a group leader at the UCL
Institute of Ophthalmology and Moorfields Eye
Hospital, London, the UK, presented his teams
development of Eye2Gene at the annual conference
of the European Society of Human Genetics.
Eye2Gene is an AI system that can identify the
genetic cause of inherited retinal diseases
(IRDs) Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are
characterized by single-gene disorders that
impact the retina, posing challenges for
diagnosis due to alterations in one of several
potential candidate genes. Apart from specialized
centers, only a limited number of experts possess
the requisite expertise in these conditions,
creating obstacles for patients seeking access to
accurate testing and diagnosis. Says Dr.
Pontikos, Identifying the causative gene from a
retinal scan is considered extremely challenging,
even by experts. However, the AI is able to
achieve this to a higher level of accuracy than
most human experts. (Source)
