    Devices for diagnosis and treatment of eye conditions.

    Reviewed by Christian Espinosa, Founder, Blue Goat CyberLast reviewed May 5, 2026

    Definition

    Includes intraocular lenses (IOLs) for cataract surgery, refractive lasers (LASIK, SMILE), glaucoma implants (MIGS), retinal therapies (intravitreal delivery), and diagnostic OCT.

    What this means in practice

    Alcon, J&J Vision, Bausch+Lomb, and Carl Zeiss Meditec are anchors. Premium IOLs (presbyopia-correcting) and MIGS are key growth drivers; reimbursement varies sharply between premium-channel cash pay and standard Medicare.
