A device used in ophthalmology to measure refractive errors in the eye, the phoropter is composed of prisms, lenses, and cylinders. Common vision abnormalities known as refractive errors occur when light fails to concentrate correctly on the retina. The four types of refractive errors are myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. This tool was used by eye care practitioners during eye exams to determine eye prescriptions.

The Phoropter Market is growing due to better technology, more eye disorders, and increased healthcare spending. Key drivers include the use of automatic phoropters, the focus on precision in eye exams, and the demand for portable devices. Vendors are investing in AI technology to make phoropters provide quicker prescriptions. The rise in smartphone health apps and cloud computing also supports market growth. New portable and handheld phoropters allow healthcare delivery to remote areas. Additionally, small and wireless phoropters are convenient for mobile eye care clinics and outreach efforts.

The market for medical eye examinations is facing obstacles despite increasing refractive errors and demand. A major issue is the high cost of installing and maintaining automated systems, which, although they provide quick and accurate prescriptions, are too expensive for countries with limited healthcare budgets. There is also resistance from healthcare professionals to switch from manual devices to automated ones, largely due to these high costs. The expenses stem from advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and the need for skilled professionals, making it hard to adopt these new products in clinical environments.

Shift to Digital Refraction: One significant trend in the phoropter market is the increasing usage of digital refraction technology. The industry's tendency towards digitisation in diagnostic procedures is reflected in digital phoropters, which increase accuracy, speed, and patient comfort.

Integration of Electronic Health Records (EHR): Phoropters are rapidly being connected with electronic health records to improve data management and general efficiency in eye care practices. This development is consistent with the overall healthcare industry's emphasis on seamless information flow and interoperability.
