Vision loss is expensive. It accounts for $168 billion in lost productivity worldwide. The total global cost of vision loss is $3 trillion. One of the most frequent risk factors for falls in older people is poor vision. The healthcare cost of fall-related injuries among older adults in the U.S. was $28.2 billion in 2010. It is expected to reach $54.9 billion annually by 2020.

Americans fear losing their vision more than any other of their senses, but they often skip their eye exams. And some eye diseases display no symptoms until it's too late to stop the damage done.

Care for an Alzheimer's patient drains both physical and emotional energy. As the disease progresses, patients require 24-hour-a-day care. Caregivers can experience feelings of isolation, loneliness, and depression, which can seriously affect their own health. Most caregivers find that the more they learn about the disease and the resources available to them, the better they can cope. Caregivers are often under tremendous pressure and stress, and it is important that they take advantage of the support and assistance available to them.

BrightFocus can supply copies of our educational resources in English and Spanish at low cost, or in some cases free of charge, to promote caregiver knowledge and wellness.
