A new survey from Alcon, the global leader in eye care and a division of Novartis, demonstrates that people experience significant emotional and lifestyle benefits after cataract surgery. Nearly three in four respondents who expressed an opinion agreed that after having the surgery, they were happier, more satisfied and had a greater appreciation for life. The survey also confirmed that life before surgery posed several daily challenges. A majority of survey respondents said cataracts made simple, day-to-day tasks harder, and made them feel annoyed, frustrated and old.
In recognition of Cataract Awareness Month this June, Alcon conducted the MyCataracts survey with 1,300 US adults, age 60 and over, who have undergone cataract surgery, to better understand the emotional journey of the condition and the lifestyle benefits of treatment. The survey expands Alcon’s ongoing MyCataracts awareness campaign by uncovering insights that will help people make informed treatment decisions together with their doctors.

ProSight Specialty® Insurance today announced the launch of Music Mends℠, a one-of-a-kind enhancement that’s unique in the traditionally-bound insurance industry. Music Mends is specially designed for touring artists, and is in response to the pain and disruption that terrorism invokes in our modern society. Specifically, the coverage is designed to provide support to touring artists who wish to help mend communities following an act of terrorism that interrupts a live performance. The cost of this enhancement is being borne by ProSight, in a demonstration of unprecedented commitment to artists and performers in the wake of a terrorist attack.
“The idea of Music Mends came to us after we attended a concert together and learned that some of the performers had been impacted by the terrorist attack in Paris at the Bataclan concert hall,” said ProSight Chief Underwriting Officer Bob Bailey, speaking of himself and Joe Beneducci, ProSight’s founder and CEO. “The raw emotion from the band that night was evident, and we knew we needed to do something to help support artists who want to go back and perform for their fans. That’s when the idea for Music Mends was born.”
