Over 60% of the U.S. adult population and an estimated over 2.2 billion people worldwide require vision correction. Due to an increase in the aging population and prevalence of factors such as Digital strain, common eye diseases such as Myopia, Glaucoma, Macular degeneration and Cataract are increasing at an alarming rate. Dry eye, one of the fastest growing eye diseases, is estimated to affect more than 50% of the world's population.
"Technology is key to control the spiraling cost of healthcare and provide access to quality care. EyecareLive's mission and advanced technology make eye care more affordable and accessible to everyone.
