Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness globally,<sup>1 <\/sup>with more than 90% of people developing cataracts by age 65.<sup>2 <\/sup>Yet, the survey reveals a significant lack of understanding of treatment options, including surgical procedures, to correct vision loss from cataracts. <\/p>\n<p>Around the world, the majority (70%) of people said they are familiar with cataracts and even more know that surgery is the most common treatment option (85%). However, among those diagnosed or who have symptoms of cataracts, only 30% of Americans surveyed said they would be very likely to undergo cataract surgery. The most cited reason for not wanting to undergo cataract surgery was fear. Of those surveyed, 29% stated they are afraid of undergoing a cataract procedure and have concerns about the effectiveness of surgery (28%). In addition, many expressed a lack of knowledge about cataract procedures altogether (22%). <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For many people suffering with cataracts, the word &#8216;surgery&#8217; can be intimidating. However, cataract surgery is safe and effective. In fact, it&#8217;s one of the most common outpatient procedures performed<sup>3<\/sup>,&#8221; said Dr. <span class=\"xn-person\">Rajesh K. Rajpal<\/span>, Chief Medical Officer and Global Head of Clinical and Medical Affairs, Johnson &amp; Johnson Vision***. &#8220;This survey uncovered a critical need for increased education, dialogue and reassurance between patients, loved ones and eye care providers.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>Benefits of Treatment <\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p>\n        <span class=\"xn-person\">Donald Smith<\/span>, age 70, is retired and volunteers at a history museum.

The procedure is both safe and effective, with an extremely high success rate of improving patient vision. Additionally, cataract surgery techniques and technologies continue to evolve and advance, benefitting more patients than ever before. As eye care professionals, it is up to us to educate our patients on treatment options for cataracts, and that includes easing their fears by providing educational resources in channels where they&#8217;re seeking out medical information &#8211; on social media and our practice websites,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Eric Donnenfeld<\/span>, MD, Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology, <span class=\"xn-org\">New York University<\/span>****.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson &amp; Johnson Vision encourages everyone to <i><u><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2996745-1&amp;h=812558321&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jjvision.com%2Fprioritizeyoureyes&amp;a=Prioritize+Your+Eyes\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Prioritize Your Eyes<\/a><\/u><\/i> by educating yourself to make more informed decisions around your, or your loved ones, care and to understand options leading up to and following surgery.

The problems could be minor, temporary, or affect your vision permanently. These may include worsening of your vision, bleeding, or infection. Pre-existing diseases or conditions (e.g., diabetes, heart disease, and previous eye trauma) may place you at higher risk of experiencing complications and\/or more difficult recovery after routine cataract surgery. With some lenses, you may experience some loss in the sharpness of your vision, even with glasses. A small number of patients may want to have their IOL removed.
