People around the world are ignorant about eye care, a new study shows, but they think they are knowledgeable. The result is risky behaviors and neglect that could endanger not only vision but also overall health, according to a survey funded by Bausch + Lomb, the eye-care device and pharmaceutical giant. The Barometer of Global Eye Health, sponsored by Bausch + Lomb and conducted by the marketing and opinion research firm KRC Research, surveyed 11,000 people in 11 countries, including the United States, using questions derived from interviews with eye health practitioners around the world. The online surveys included 1000 people in each market, including Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Brazil, the United Kingdom, China, Japan, Russia, and India. The survey results were announced in a Bausch + Lomb news release.
