Global Portable Slit Lamp Market - Drivers

Portable slit lamps have potential customer base to penetrate in eye equipment industry due to its wide applications in community health services, hospitals, and eye clinics. Therefore, eye equipment companies are focusing on innovation and introducing technologically advanced slit lamps in the market.

Global Portable Slit Lamp Market - Restraints

A portable slit lamp uses bright light, which examines the condition of the patient’s eyes. This bright light may cause temporary blindness in eye sensitive patients and can cause irritation in eye accompanied with pain for some time after the examination of the patient’s eyes. This causes patient discomfort during examination procedures. Moreover, adjusting the proper beam alignment is also an issue while examining the eyes, thereby making the procedure more time consuming. These factors are expected to restrain the global portable slit lamp market growth.
