Abstract
Key PointsQuestionHow many older adult Medicare beneficiaries reported using eyeglasses in 2015? FindingsThis cross-sectional study estimated the number of older Medicare beneficiaries (aged ≥65 years) and found that approximately 40.5 million used eyeglasses for either distance or near vision correction. Differences in sociodemographics were noted between those who did and those who did not report eyeglass use. MeaningInnovative public policy solutions are needed to address the potential sociodemographic disparities in eyeglass use among the large number of Medicare beneficiaries who use eyeglasses.
