In Focus: Survey highlights gap between intentions and actions

Over a third (38%) of British adults believe their vision has deteriorated since the start of the pandemic, but they have not taken steps to look after their eye health.

A global survey carried out by Johnson & Johnson Vision revealed insights about eye health, the pandemic, misconceptions about cataracts surgery, myopia and the connection between beauty and eye health.

The survey was completed online in July and August, 2021 and included over 16,000 adults aged 18 years or older, of which 2,001 were British respondents.

It was commissioned as part of the eye care company’s Prioritize Your Eyes campaign, which aimed to raise awareness about the importance of having an eye examination every two years.
