Ophthalmic artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis refers to the use of AI technologies to analyze eye-related medical data, such as retinal images or patient records, for the detection, diagnosis, or monitoring of eye diseases. It combines algorithms such as machine learning and deep learning with imaging and clinical data to support faster, more accurate, and automated decision-making in ophthalmology.
The primary types of ophthalmic AI-assisted diagnosis systems are cloud-based and on-premises. Cloud-based systems are hosted on remote servers and accessed via the internet. Technologies involved include deep learning, machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, and others. These systems are applied in settings such as hospitals, clinics, and imaging centers.
Tariffs have influenced the ophthalmic ai-assisted diagnosis market by increasing the import costs of imaging devices, ai-enabled software, and high-resolution cameras. This has particularly affected hospitals, clinics, and imaging centers in Asia-Pacific and Europe. Segments relying on imported retinal cameras and ai software are most impacted. However, tariffs have encouraged local software development and domestic production of imaging systems, which may improve supply chain resilience and reduce long-term costs.
The ophthalmic artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides ophthalmic artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis market statistics, including ophthalmic artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a ophthalmic artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis market share, detailed ophthalmic artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the ophthalmic artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis industry. This ophthalmic artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis 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 ophthalmic artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.17 billion in 2025 to $2.57 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing adoption of digital imaging devices, rising prevalence of eye diseases, awareness of early diagnosis, integration of ai in clinical trials, advancements in retinal imaging technology.
The ophthalmic artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.03 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth of cloud-based ai diagnostic platforms, expansion of tele-ophthalmology services, improved ai algorithms for rare eye disorders, partnerships between ai developers and hospitals, increased adoption of predictive ophthalmology. Major trends in the forecast period include AI-based retinal imaging analysis, deep learning-powered disease detection, predictive ophthalmology models, automated patient record analysis, integration of ai with clinical workflows.
The increasing incidence of eye disorders is anticipated to drive the expansion of the ophthalmic artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis market in the coming years. Eye disorders are medical conditions or abnormalities that affect the structure or function of the eye, potentially leading to impaired vision or compromised eye health. The prevalence of eye disorders is growing due to prolonged screen time from digital device usage, which can result in digital eye strain, dryness, and long-term vision problems from extended blue light exposure and reduced blinking frequency. Ophthalmic artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis aids by analyzing medical images and patient data to detect, classify, and predict eye disorders with accuracy and at an early stage, facilitating timely treatment and minimizing the risk of vision loss. For example, in August 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO), a Switzerland-based United Nations agency, reported that over 2.2 billion people globally live with near or distance vision impairment-more than 1 billion of whom have preventable or untreated conditions. Refractive errors and cataracts remain the primary causes, while access to effective interventions reaches only 36% of individuals with refractive error-related impairment and just 17% of those with cataract-related impairment. Consequently, the growing prevalence of eye disorders is fueling the development of the ophthalmic artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis market.
Companies in the ophthalmic AI-assisted diagnosis market are increasingly developing innovative solutions to improve diagnostic accuracy, enhance patient care, and provide predictive insights. One such solution is the ocular data-as-a-service platform, a digital tool that allows ophthalmologists, clinics, and AI diagnostic systems to remotely access, analyze, and share ocular data such as retinal images. This improves diagnosis, monitoring, and research. For instance, in May 2025, Topcon Healthcare Solutions Inc. introduced IDHea, a cloud-based platform designed to streamline ophthalmic diagnostics and improve patient outcomes. By offering fast and secure access to real-world and clinical ocular datasets, IDHea accelerates AI and digital health innovation. It helps researchers generate AI-driven insights to advance both eye and systemic disease care. Built on principles of fast access, safety, and transparency, IDHea facilitates personalized and proactive patient care while ensuring privacy and governance.
In May 2025, Topcon Healthcare Inc. strengthened its AI-driven ophthalmic diagnostic capabilities by acquiring RetInSight GmbH. This acquisition supports the company's objective of advancing global eye care through intelligent diagnostic solutions. RetInSight GmbH, an Austrian medtech company, specializes in AI-assisted ophthalmic diagnostics. With this acquisition, Topcon Healthcare enhances its ability to deliver high-quality eye care, reduce costs, and improve clinical outcomes through innovations in retinal imaging.
