Content of the study:MARKET OVERVIEW
1.1 Definition and scope of the study
Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine, the object of which is the study of the eye and its components from an anatomical, physiological and pathological point of view.
In France, like all medical disciplines, ophthalmology is a highly regulated profession. The main challenge for this profession is the ageing of specialists, which could reduce their number by 20% by 2030. At the same time, the French population's need for ophthalmic care is increasing as a result of an ageing population and a lifestyle which can conduct to the development of vision disorders (myopia, etc.).
Specialists, who were already working with opticians, are forced to delegate some of their tasks to orthoptists, who are becoming important players in the sector. This diversification could not be insufficient to meet the current and future needs of the French people.
However, the sector remains attractive for manufacturers of ophthalmic devices and instruments since the State continues to subsidize innovations that improve treatments for chronic diseases (AMD, etc.), while trying to limit Social Security expenses (which is reflected in the development of telemedicine, particularly for ophthalmologists, for whom the delay in making an appointment is the longest of any specialist).
