Your Sight Matters

More than 24 million Americans aged 40 and older are affected by cataracts.

By age 70, more than half of all Americans either have a cataract or have had cataract surgery.

Most assume that younger people don’t get cataracts, but over 4 million Americans 60 and younger have cataracts.

Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness worldwide, accounting for 48 percent of all visual impairments.
