Led by The Vision Council and American Optometric Association (AOA), Think About Your Eyes is designed to educate the public about eye health and promote the importance of getting an annual comprehensive eye exam.“Our passion is to help people see better so they can connect more,” said Peter Menziuso, president, North America, Johnson & Johnson Vision Care. “Our mission aligns closely to the mission of Think About Your Eyes, and together we will work to educate the public about the importance of eye health because the unmet medical need in this category is staggering.”According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in the U.S., approximately 14 million individuals aged 12 years and older have visual impairment, among which more than 80 percent could be corrected to good vision with refractive correction. And, an estimated 61 million adults in the U.S. are at high risk for serious vision loss, but only half visited an eye doctor in the past 12 months.Think About Your Eyes brings national awareness to the importance of eye health by providing resources on a variety of topics including eye diseases, the impact of eye strain, children’s eye development and how to determine which form of vision correction is best for you. The program encourages people to visit the campaign’s website, www.ThinkAboutYourEyes.com, where they can access a tool to easily locate eyecare providers near them.“We are thrilled to have Johnson & Johnson Vision Care supporting the Think About Your Eyes campaign,” said Jon Torrey, director, professional relations of Think About Your Eyes. “As a global leader in contact lenses, their experience will provide us with meaningful insights and help us motivate consumers to take action and visit their eyecare provider.”
