- Age-related macular degeneration (8 million)

Over the last 50 years, eye health has seen remarkable progress.
Advanced technologies, such as OCT imaging and retinal photography, now enable early detection of diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Treatments like LASIK, advanced cataract surgery, and medications such as anti-VEGF injections have restored and preserved vision for millions. Public health campaigns and improved nutrition have drastically reduced cases of blindness caused by vitamin A deficiency, while better diabetes care has lessened the severity of diabetic retinopathy.
However, modern life has introduced new challenges.
We are not facing the same eye health as our parents and grandparents.
Americans spend on average 10 hours each day in front of screens, with some age groups like Gen Z as much as 9. This impact on our eyes has led to widespread digital eye strain, headaches, light sensitivity, dry eye, interrupted sleep, and a surge in myopia, particularly among children who spend less time outdoors. By the year 2050, 50% of our world population is expected to be near-sighted.
Artificial lighting and reduced natural light exposure further impact vision, while disparities in access to advanced care leave many in low-income regions vulnerable to preventable blindness.
While advances in eye care have transformed lives, addressing these modern challenges is crucial to ensuring healthy vision for ourselves and our future generations.


Vision is a priceless gift, one that impacts every aspect of your life—whether it’s enjoying your favorite hobbies, reading a book, or seeing the faces of your loved ones.
Putting your vision first is vital to our quality of life. There is so much more to good vision than just 20/20 eye sight.
The inevitable truth is, we all face the risk of vision problems at some point in our lives.
The Eye Health Summit™ is packed with essential, life-changing information that will help you safeguard your vision for years to come. Join us to discover all of the incredible insights 35+ top eye health experts are about to share with you.
Why is this so important? Because…
#VisionMatters!

The mission of The Eye Summit™ 2026 is to transform the eye health of thousands of individuals by blending the best of traditional ophthalmologic and optometric approaches with a focus on holistic, patient-centered care.
We are committed to optimizing eye health by integrating cutting-edge medical expertise with proven strategies in nutrition, lifestyle modification, targeted supplementation, botanicals, and stress management.
Our goal is to empower individuals with the knowledge they need to maintain healthy vision throughout various stages of life, and address not only their visual needs but also their overall well-being.
By combining advanced diagnostics, evidence-based treatments, and integrative therapies, we strive to preserve and enhance the gift of sight while promoting long-term health and vitality.
