SUNDAY, Jan. 26, 2020 (HealthDay News) — Though good vision is critical, a new survey finds that most folks fall short when it comes to knowledge about eye diseases.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) commissioned the online survey of more than 3,500 U.S. adults aged 18 and older.
While the survey found that 81% said they’re knowledgeable about vision health, only 19% knew the three main causes of blindness in the United States: glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease.
