North America is Expected to Witness a Significant Growth Over the Forecast Period
- North America is expected to witness significant market growth in the vision screeners market due to the rising burden of eye disorders, an increase in government initiatives to undergo vision screening, well-established healthcare infrastructure, and the presence of key market players.
- For instance, In addition, as per the data updated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in December 2022, approximately 12 million people of age 40 years and over in the United States have vision impairment, including 1 million who are blind, 3 million who have vision impairment after correction, and 8 million who have vision impairment due to uncorrected refractive error. The large population suffering from vision disorders necessitates proper eye examinations, which, thereby likely to drive the market in North America during the forecast period.
- Additionally, in October 2022, the Canadian Ophthalmological Society and the Canadian Association of Optometrists collaborated to conduct a joint access research survey in vision health.
