Artificial intelligence (AI) optical coherence tomography (OCT) combines AI algorithms with optical coherence tomography imaging to automatically analyze high-resolution cross-sectional images of biological tissues, particularly the retina. This technology improves diagnostic accuracy, speed, and efficiency by identifying patterns, classifying diseases, and predicting condition progression across ophthalmology and other healthcare areas. It reduces dependence on manual interpretation and supports early detection and personalized treatment planning.
The primary types of AI optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems are table-top and portable devices. Table-top OCT devices are positioned on a table or cart, providing a stable upright setup, often with a headrest and scan mount for capturing images of seated patients. These systems use technologies such as time-domain OCT, spectral-domain OCT, and swept-source OCT, and are applied in hospitals, clinics, and similar healthcare settings.
Tariffs have influenced the ai OCT market by raising import costs for high-precision imaging devices and ai software components, affecting hospitals, clinics, and research institutes, particularly in north america and europe. Hardware-heavy OCT devices are most impacted, resulting in increased device prices and delayed deployment. However, tariffs have encouraged local manufacturing of OCT instruments and stimulated innovation in software-driven image analysis, ultimately fostering more cost-effective ai-enabled OCT solutions.

This artificial intelligence (AI) optical coherence tomography (oct) market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The artificial intelligence (ai) optical coherence tomography (oct) market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.06 billion in 2025 to $2.32 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to adoption of OCT in ophthalmology, demand for early disease detection, advancements in retinal imaging devices, increasing prevalence of eye disorders, integration of digital imaging technologies.
The artificial intelligence (ai) optical coherence tomography (oct) market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.63 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to integration of ai with portable OCT devices, expansion of cloud-based ophthalmic platforms, development of real-time diagnostic algorithms, growing investments in tele-ophthalmology, rising demand for personalized eye care solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include AI-assisted retinal imaging, automated disease detection, predictive ophthalmic analysis, cloud-based oct platforms, high-resolution image interpretation.
The rising incidence of ophthalmological diseases is anticipated to drive the growth of the artificial intelligence (AI) optical coherence tomography (OCT) market. Ophthalmological diseases refer to conditions that affect the eyes and visual system, potentially impairing vision or harming eye health. These diseases are becoming more common due to the increasing rates of diabetes, which damages retinal blood vessels and causes vision-threatening conditions. AI-based optical coherence tomography (OCT) plays a vital role in diagnosing eye diseases by providing high-resolution retinal imaging, which is ideal for early detection and continuous monitoring. By automating retinal scan analysis, it reduces diagnostic time, thus enhancing clinical efficiency and patient care. For example, in May 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that more than 3 million people in the United States were affected by glaucoma, and this number is projected to rise to 6.3 million by 2050. As a result, the increasing prevalence of ophthalmological diseases is fueling the growth of the AI optical coherence tomography market.
Key companies in the AI optical coherence tomography (OCT) market are concentrating on developing innovative products such as at-home OCT devices to improve diagnostic accuracy, support remote monitoring, and optimize ophthalmic workflows. These portable at-home devices enable patients to capture retinal scans at home for remote monitoring of eye conditions. For example, in May 2024, Notal Vision Inc., a healthcare company in the US, received de novo authorization from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its AI-powered SCANLY Home OCT device. This device is the first self-operated retinal imaging tool designed for monitoring wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in elderly patients. It uses spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) along with the AI-powered Notal OCT analyzer (NOA) to detect and assess retinal biomarkers, allowing for remote, high-resolution monitoring between clinical visits. The device securely transmits images to the Notal Health cloud for physician review and is supported by current procedural terminology (CPT) billing codes.
In May 2025, Topcon Healthcare Inc., a US-based eye care technology company, acquired RetInSight GmbH, a digital health firm based in Austria, for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition strengthens Topcon Healthcare's AI optical coherence tomography (OCT) capabilities and enhances its digital eye care platform. The move is aimed at expanding the use of AI-driven retinal disease management and encouraging broader adoption of these technologies. RetInSight GmbH specializes in providing AI solutions for optical coherence tomography.
