Mister Spex Releases Eye Health Report 2026 Highlighting Undetected Issues in Germany

German optical retailer Mister Spex published its Eye Health Report 2026, analyzing 3,412 professional screenings conducted across Germany with Skleo Health. The report reveals that 24% of participants reporting no symptoms showed abnormalities requiring further evaluation. This discrepancy is pronounced among those aged 60 and over, where 57% had undetected eye problems despite claiming no complaints. Additionally, 80% of respondents had not undergone an ophthalmic check-up for more than two years. Among individuals with a family history of glaucoma or diabetes, 10% displayed early signs of these conditions. While 17% of participants under 40 reported screen-related symptoms like blurred vision, only about one in four exhibited clinical abnormalities, suggesting most issues were functional rather than structural. The full report is available in German only.
