GlassesUSA.com Launches 2026 State of Glasses Wearers in America Vision Hub

GlassesUSA.com announced the launch of The 2026 State of Glasses Wearers in America, a national vision education and research hub developed with ophthalmologist Norman A. Saffra, MD, FAAO. The initiative stems from an online survey conducted in June 2026 among 519 US adults aged 18 to 80 who wear prescription glasses daily. Key findings revealed that nearly 70% of respondents continued using their glasses despite suspecting their prescription had changed, while 56.1% delayed obtaining new eyewear due to cost. Additionally, 79.4% reported symptoms associated with screen use, and 45.9% wait until experiencing vision problems before seeking an eye exam. The hub features educational videos by Dr. Saffra addressing topics such as progressive lenses and lens indexes, alongside practical guides on measuring pupillary distance and ordering prescription glasses online.
