The Issue

Close your eyes. Imagine what it might be like to lose your vision.

The causes of vision loss are numerous. In addition to age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, cataracts and other eye conditions can result in vision loss. In fact, every year more than 50,000 Canadians will lose their sight. As we age, and diabetes and obesity continue to rise, the incidence of vision loss is expected to increase nearly 30 per cent over the next ten years.

You can open your eyes now; this growing crisis in vision health can be prevented.

What We’re Doing

How do Canadians feel about having a say in the medications they are prescribed? How do physicians feel about being told to prescribe a medication that is indicated for an unrelated health condition? How does the cost of a medication influence their choice of prescribing the appropriate treatment?

Eye See You has surveyed Canadians over the age of 45 as well as medical specialists and family doctors to learn about the importance Canadians place on vision health, physician autonomy and patient choice and empowerment.
