More than 20 million Americans are currently affected by cataracts, and a new survey from AARP Media Sales and Alcon, a global leader in eyecare and one of the global sponsors of World Sight Day, found that there are many questions and misperceptions among Baby Boomers about the condition, their options and how to treat it.
World Sight Day Coalition
A major highlight of this year’s campaign is the formation of a coalition of 13 leading eyecare companies to raise awareness of the importance of eye health and access to care. The Coalition, which is being coordinated by VSP Global, will support a range of activities over the coming weeks including a major outreach event in Atlanta from Oct. 9 to 13, which will provide eye exams for an estimated 2,000 disadvantaged people.

NEW YORK— The Pew Internet & American Life Project continues to explore the impact of digital in our culture, including those in the health care arena. A 2013 study, which contrasted results to an earlier one conducted in 2010, reflects some changes, particularly among those consumers/patients who are exploring health matters online and who have insurance benefits. "We have been interested in the social aspect of online health resources since the very beginning of our project. In 2000, we asked people if they had emailed a doctor and if they participated in an online support group for people who shared the same health issues. As social tools proliferated, we adapted our survey questions to fit the current reality," the Peer-to-Peer Healthcare report said.
