Welcome back to Eureka Surveys, where your responses help us unravel fascinating trends about mundane things. This time, we ventured into the realm of vision correction, where the numbers painted an intriguing picture.

The most popular choice among our respondents, making up about 44% of the total responses, were regular eyeglasses. Almost half of the people taking our paid surveys are no strangers to this quintessential accessory. We believe that the enduring popularity of eyeglasses can be attributed to their dual role as both a medical prescribed necessity and a fashion accessory.

LASIK, Reading Glasses, and Contacts – What are the preferences?

Reading glasses took the second spot with 13% of the responses, demonstrating the prevalence of presbyopia (a condition that commonly affects people after age 40 which caused difficulty in reading up close). Meanwhile, contact lens wearers made up roughly 16.5%, indicating a significant preference towards this vision correction option, likely for its cosmetic appeal and practicality in active lifestyles.

Perhaps the most surprising result was LASIK surgery, which represented about 3% of the respondents. A relatively modern vision correction method, LASIK's promising permanent solution is potentially offset by its high upfront cost and invasiveness, making it less popular with our respondents.

And what about those sans correction?

Coming back with a strong representation was the group not requiring any vision correction, making up around 23% of our responses. Whether blessed with perfect vision or simply putting up with the blur, this group stands as a reminder of the diverse vision realities people deal with on an everyday basis.
