Did you know that more than half of U.S. adults live with dry eye disease (DED)? The biggest culprit? Excessive screen time. Staring at screens reduces blinking, which affects the tear film released by meibomian glands, leading to dry eyes. For #DryEyeAwarenessMonth, we’re looking at the numbers – highlighting the prevalence of dry eye disease (DED) and how our teams are advancing treatments to help millions affected by this common condition.

For decades, we’ve been devoted to addressing complex eye health challenges worldwide. Our innovative partnerships and global initiatives make vision possible at every life stage, helping people realize their full potential. Continuing this mission, we were recently honored to be a Changemaker during the 2030 IN SIGHT LIVE event in Mexico, hosted by International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB). At our booth we showcased our continued dedication to advancing eye health – making meaningful connections with industry experts and advocates. Our colleagues Katie Buckley and Naemi Fukushima also had the special opportunity to participate in panels discussions including “Queer Eye Care: Elevating Eye Health in the LGBTQAI+ Community,” which focused on elevating representation within our industry, and “Guaranteeing Quality Cataract Surgical Outcomes,” where we discussed driving greater expertise and education around cataract surgery. We look forward to continuing this momentum and driving forward the future of eye health! #2030InSight #VisionMadePossible

As we wrap up Pride Month, let’s celebrate the progress we've made together, reflect on the vibrant history that brought us here, and acknowledge the work still ahead. Hear from some of our Open&Out colleagues from across the globe share their powerful messages and experiences. Their voices remind us of the strength found in diversity and the importance of creating inclusive spaces where everyone can thrive. To our LGBTQIA+ friends, family, and community members: your courage, authenticity, and resilience inspire us. #Pride2024 #VisionMadePossible

This #CataractAwarenessMonth, we want to spotlight the work of our R&D teams who have developed premium intraocular lenses (IOLs) for patient populations affected by cataracts, the leading cause of treatable blindness in the world. Cataract surgery is the number one surgery performed globally, with 28 million procedures each year. But only 10% to 15% of patients are getting advanced optical IOLs specifically designed for astigmatism and presbyopia. With greater advancements happening in the field, patients have more choices than ever before. #VisionMadePossible

This Cataract Awareness Month, our #VisionMadePossible Visionaries employee spotlight is on Keith Handa, a research & development manager responsible for verification and validation of surgical vision equipment. Keith has worked behind the scenes in the R&D labs for over two decades on phacoemulsification systems for cataract surgery, the latest being the VERITAS™ Vision System. His role and expansive knowledge have given him a unique understanding of the full suite of premium cataract surgery equipment at Johnson & Johnson. So, earlier this year when Keith realized he was no longer comfortable driving at night and had to rely on his wife for night driving, his ophthalmologist discussed options for Keith’s own cataract surgery. To treat his astigmatism and to accommodate his lifestyle needs, they decided on the TECNIS Eyhance™ Toric IOL for both eyes. Because Keith’s role on Johnson & Johnson's Vision Team is to put surgical equipment through rigorous testing, he felt extremely confident going into cataract surgery. So much so that he believes he could follow the doctor’s every move just based on the sounds of the equipment! Keith is one of many outstanding individuals who have been working to make Vision Made Possible a reality around the world. Important Safety Information: https://bit.ly/3RJtfaU

A skilled and deeply knowledgeable builder his whole life, Ira was enjoying spending his retirement years helping others plan their projects, until his cataracts made the detailed blueprints too difficult to see. After consulting with his doctor, he learned his cataracts had gotten worse and he didn’t want to delay his chance at brighter, clearer vision any longer. After surgery, Ira experienced better vision almost immediately. Read more: jjvision.com #VisionMadePossible
