  • Alcon Eye Care launches patient education campaign

    By Our Staff

     

    Alcon eye care has launched a patient education campaign, ‘See Brilliantly, Live Brilliantly’, to increase awareness of the benefits of cataract surgery.

     

    The campaign, conceptualized by Edelman India and Alcon, captures patients’ emotions when cataract gets in the way of pursuing their passions or cherishing life’s precious moments with family.

     

    Commenting on the launch of this campaign, Amar Vyas, Country Franchise Head & Country Manager of Alcon India, said: “The Alcon Eye on Cataract global survey showed that globally and in India, vision is the most important aspect as people age. For adults aged 50+ years, cataract is the most common vision condition. Those awaiting cataract surgery look forward to going about everyday activities such as reading, driving, and using electronic devices with ease. Our campaign highlights that today, cataract surgery and advanced cataract solutions offer patients clarity of vision while reducing the need for glasses and positively impacting their lives.”

     

    Adhitya Veeraraghavan, Health Sector Head, Edelman India added: “The insight that drove this campaign is that cataract surgery is one of the most performed procedures, and yet, patients do not always understand the various lens options available or how choosing the right lens can affect the quality of vision and life post-surgery. Cataract surgery is a once-in-a-lifetime procedure that can help revive vision and vitality for patients. With people living longer, staying active requires eyesight that supports their lifestyle and vision needs. Our task was to educate patients about cataract surgery in an emotional and engaging way so that they can have informed conversations with their doctors.”
