Vision care is an important part of a comprehensive health care regimen. Consider the following:
- Approximately 61% of the U.S. population of 278 million people (2001) wears some form of vision correction - that's 169 million people wearing glasses or contact lenses. (Source: U.S. Optical Industry Handbook 2002, Jobson Publishing)
- As the baby boom generation ages, a higher percentage of people will need vision correction, meaning the number of people wearing glasses or contact lenses will continue to climb rapidly.
- In 2001, the average retail price for eyeglasses, including frame and lenses, was $175. (Source: U.S. Optical Industry Handbook 2002, Jobson Publishing)
- Regular eye examinations do so much more than just provide vision correction. The eyes are a looking glass inside the body - regular eye examinations can detect not only medical eye conditions such as glaucoma and cataracts, but also other medical conditions such as high blood pressure and tumors.
