Americans Fear Eyecare Costs

Versant Health released the results of its inaugural Vision Wellness Study, which explores perceptions of eyecare and its relation to overall health. It found that only 13 percent of Americans go to their eye doctor for both routine eyecare and to address potential symptoms of chronic conditions. But 84 percent say they’d be more likely to make an appointment if they were aware of the connection between eyecare and disease detection. Some 39 percent said cost is a reason household members do not visit an eye doctor as often as they would like. versanthealth.com
