Americans Not Properly Protecting Their Vision

According to an article at Vision Monday, an overwhelming 82 percent of Americans fear losing their vision more than any other of the five senses. The report shows that a majority of those surveyed reported getting an annual eye exam, but 86 percent of those who have (or are at-risk for) eye disease fear losing their vision and do not get an annual eye exam. The findings were published by Lighthouse International, the non-profit organization which released the survey, conducted by Harris Interactive, on Oct. 19.
