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.

Bull and Triple Eight Race Engineering officially commenced their new
V8 Supercars partnership on January 1, 2013 and are in preparations to
unveil the all-new Red Bull Racing Australia VF Holden Commodore in
coming weeks. While we considered having Jamie and Craig
jump out of a pod some 40,000m into the atmosphere to formally launch
Red Bull Racing Australia (see what we did there?), our good friend
Felix made it quite clear three was a crowd. Instead, we
opted to give V8 Supercars fans some real behind-the-scenes insight
