LONDON—New research from Specsavers, the optical retail chain based in the United Kingdom, shows that 73 percent of adults in England feel the most anxious about eye treatment, more than any other body part, according to an announcement from the retailer. This fear, which Specsavers said is termed “eye anxiety,” can lead to delayed care for serious eye conditions including cataract, glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). For this research, Specsavers commissioned a survey of 2,000 adults in England in April 2026.
