Global survey
Bausch + Lomb has released the findings of the company’s first-ever Barometer of Global Eye Health, a global survey of more than 11,000 consumers in 11 countries. “Among the survey’s findings are that people would rather lose 10 years of their life (67 per cent) than lose their eyesight. And they would be more willing to take a 50 per cent pay cut than lose 50 per cent of their vision,†said a Bausch + Lomb spokesman. “More than 70 per cent of Americans are not getting annual eye exams,†he said, “and 44 per cent believe that they do not need an eye test unless there is a problem.†The global survey was developed in co-operation with eye care professionals from around the world and further validated by an additional 147 professionals from 26 different countries.
