DEVICE
CONSOLIDATION
A major trend in the ophthalmic market is the consolidation of multiple pieces of equipment
into a single device. This is being driven by a desire to save space and reduce costs of devices for
ophthalmologists. This prevents ophthalmologists from buying single devices from different
companies and move towards purchasing a single system that covers multiple modalities. For
example, optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems are being sold with fundus cameras,
scanning laser ophthalmoscopes, fluorescein angiography devices and more.
