3. Carl Zeiss Meditec AG and Topcon Corporation are Leading Players in Ophthalmology PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) Market

The ophthalmology PACS market is projected to reach USD 160.2 million by 2023 from an estimated USD 106.6 million in 2018, at a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period.
