Hispanic eyes by the numbers [Infographic]

(BPT) – – As Hispanic Heritage Month kicks off and many Hispanic families are celebrating their heritage and culture, Transitions Optical, Inc. is urging them to also make time to think about their eyes. New research by Wakefield for Transitions Optical, Inc. reveals that nearly eight out of 10 Hispanic Americans are experiencing vision problems that can negatively impact their health and everyday lives, yet few are taking steps to protect and enhance their vision. To help raise awareness about the importance of regular eye care for at-risk, diverse populations, Transitions Optical offers a number of education resources through its Transitions Cultural Connections initiative. Several materials, including a “What to Expect: Hispanic Eyes” brochure – in English and Spanish – are available free-of-charge at MyMulticulturalToolkit.com.
