Market Introduction
The European excimer and femtosecond ophthalmic lasers market is further segmented into Germany, UK, France, Italy, Spain, and rest of Europe. The market growth in the region is expected due to current demographic trend such as increasing prevalence of age-related retinal diseases and increasing use of electronic devices. The rest of Europe includes countries like Russia, Sweden, Denmark, and Norway, among others. Factors such as the aging population, and unhealthy diet, increase the risk of vision disorders. The aging population in the region is driving the growth of the market. For instance, as per the Swedish Institute, around 5.2 percent of Sweden’s population is 80 or older. In Norway, the aging population is estimated to be 5.35 million. The healthcare expenditure in these countries is higher, which is boosting the growth of the market. For instance, current health expenditure amounts to 9.2% of GDP in Norway. Also, countries in the region spend heavily on elderly care, which supports the growth of the market. Increasing product launches is a prime driver for market growth. For instance, in October 2018, Alcon unveiled software and hardware enhancements to the WaveLight Refractive Suite designed to provide surgeons and patients a more comfortable and efficient LASIK experience.
As the world engages with COVID-19, every type of technological discovery and capacity provided to fight this pandemic brings one step closer to overcoming it. Considering that the COVID-19 cases are rising in the region, several nations are fighting to control the disease's spread. The European economy is adversely affected due to the exponential increase of COVID-19 cases in the region. Most of the region's sectors are massively hit by the pandemic's spread, with most nations being in lockdown. Routine healthcare services were canceled, and patients were recommended to avoid hospital visits unless any medical emergency to minimize the risk of COVID-19 transmission, leading to significant disruption in the provision of healthcare service and patient care. Ophthalmology represents one of the busiest and heavily outpatient-oriented specialties, with around 7.5 million outpatient appointments and over 500,000 surgical procedures being conducted every year in the UK. The lockdown has resulted in the cancellation of thousands of ophthalmic visits and surgeries. This has potentially led to permanent and significant harm to patients' vision. Additionally, the recent survey – "Psychosocial impact of COVID-19 pandemic lockdown on people living with eye diseases in the UK," which was conducted among the public with eye diseases, highlighted a noteworthy negative psychosocial impact of lockdown on patients with visual impairment, with approximately 50% of the patients expressing fear of sight loss due to delayed review or treatment. Furthermore, as per the study conducted on ophthalmology services in Queen's Medical Centre, the UK, cataract surgery (53%) formed the major surgical backlog during the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by YAG laser procedures (24%) and oculoplastic surgeries (8%).
