The report provides insights on how new innovations in lasers aids the growth of the ophthalmic laser market.
Raul Bennet
A laser is a light-emitting device that operates on the optical amplification principle based on the stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation. Currently, lasers are widely used in medicine to treat various diseases; and, as a result of their positive results during eye surgery, lasers are being rapidly adopted in ophthalmology procedures.
Healthcare spending in the United States increased by 4.6 percent in 2019 to 3.8 trillion dollars. That is roughly 11,582 dollars per person, accounting for 17.7 percent of G.D.P. Furthermore, the federal government accounted for 29 percent of total health expenditures, with households coming in second (28.4 percent). Both state and local governments accounted for 16.1 percent of total healthcare expenditures, with other private revenues accounting for the remaining 7.5 percent.
