A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that 85.8 per cent of Australians aged 65+ wear prescription glasses and/or contact lenses, compared with just over three in 10 Australians aged 18-24. The survey, which was carried out in the year to December 2015, also shows that 65.2 per cent of Australian women aged 18+ wear prescription glasses/contact lenses, compared with 54.8 per cent of men. While the prevalence of vision impairment rises for both genders as they get older, women consistently outnumber men, particularly among the younger age brackets.
