Research and Markets: 2013 Report 'Optometrists in the US' - Looking Good, Healthcare Reform and an Aging Population Will Keep Growth Strong

DUBLIN--()--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wdt8rr/optometrists_in) has announced the addition of the "Optometrists in the US" report to their offering.

Even when budgets are tight, eyes will not fix themselves. Therefore, the economic recovery is proving to be a boost for the industry, as those who have delayed eye examinations begin to make appointments again. Aging baby boomers and a rise in the number of insured individuals will likely aid business significantly for industry operators, but competition from eye glasses and contact lens stores threatens profit growth.

This industry includes practitioners that have a Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree. ODs examine, diagnose, treat and manage diseases, injuries and disorders of the eye and associated structures. Operators may also prescribe and sell eyeglasses and contact lenses. These practitioners operate private or group practices in their own offices or in facilities like hospitals. The industry does not include ophthalmologists (i.e. medical doctors who are also trained to perform eye surgery).

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
