Unhealthy habits and lifestyle factors such as sedentary behaviour, poor diet, stress and the regular use of anti-anxiety medication can have a detrimental effect on vision.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Women and people over 40 are those who rate their eye health and wellbeing the least favourably. This is according to the sixth edition of the Bar\u00f3metro de Bienestar Ocular de Miranza. Following a survey of 1,000 people, the eye wellbeing index this year stands at 4.66 points out of 10 among those aged 41 to 64 and at 4.78 among those over 65, compared with 5.76 among those aged 26 to 40. By gender, women score 4.80, compared with 5.34 for men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, <strong>the assessment of eye wellbeing has also deteriorated, standing at 5.07 points out of 10<\/strong>, compared with 5.23 in 2025, a 3% decrease and the lowest figure since the study was first launched. In line with this trend, only 34% of Spaniards consider their eye health to be good or excellent, compared with 63% who rate their overall health in the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The findings of the VI Bar\u00f3metro de Bienestar Ocular were presented with the participation of <a href=\"https:\/\/miranza.es\/en\/our-team\/ophthalmological-specialists\/inigo-corcostegui\/\">Dr \u00cd\u00f1igo Corc\u00f3stegui, Medical Director of Miranza Cl\u00ednica Bego\u00f1a<\/a> in Bilbao, and <a href=\"https:\/\/miranza.es\/en\/our-team\/ophthalmological-specialists\/federico-alonso-aliste\/\">Dr Federico Alonso, Medical Director of Miranza Sevilla<\/a>, at an event moderated by journalist and presenter Victoria Arn\u00e1u. The meeting addressed the main challenges facing eye care in a context increasingly shaped by the use of technological devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"583\" src=\"https:\/\/miranza.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/foto-general-1-1024x583.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-437093\" srcset=\"https:\/\/miranza.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/foto-general-1-1024x583.webp 1024w, https:\/\/miranza.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/foto-general-1-300x171.webp 300w, https:\/\/miranza.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/foto-general-1-768x437.webp 768w, https:\/\/miranza.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/foto-general-1.webp 1122w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Dr \u00cd\u00f1igo Corc\u00f3stegui and Dr Federico Alonso, ophthalmologists at Miranza, discussed the study&#8217;s findings, presented by journalist Victoria Arn\u00e1u.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1\" style=\"color:#71cc98\"><strong>The prevention paradox: we know, but we do not act<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Barometer once again highlights the gap between what Spaniards say about taking care of their vision and what they actually do in practice. Dr \u00cd\u00f1igo Corc\u00f3stegui explains that \u201c89% of respondents say that taking care of their eyesight is important, while 76% consider having an annual eye examination important and 73% say they are concerned about their eyesight. Despite this, the average frequency of eye examinations is 0.67, which translates into fewer than one visit to an ophthalmologist per year\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is also a gap between people\u2019s perception of the impact of lifestyle habits and the actual effect these habits appear to have on eye health and wellbeing. Although awareness is increasing, fewer than half of respondents (45%) believe that their habits affect their eyesight. <strong>Hereditary factors<\/strong> (67%), <strong>pollution<\/strong> (61%) and <strong>insufficient sleep<\/strong> (52%) are the factors most widely recognised, while less importance is attached to factors such as smoking or drinking alcohol (39%), eating an unhealthy diet (39%) and getting too little exercise (19%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/miranza.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/corcostegui-1024x666.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-437096\" srcset=\"https:\/\/miranza.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/corcostegui-1024x666.webp 1024w, https:\/\/miranza.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/corcostegui-300x195.webp 300w, https:\/\/miranza.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/corcostegui-768x499.webp 768w, https:\/\/miranza.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/corcostegui.webp 1126w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Dr \u00cd\u00f1igo Corc\u00f3stegui, Medical Director of Miranza Cl\u00ednica Bego\u00f1a in Bilbao<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2\" style=\"color:#71cc98\"><strong>Stress, lack of sleep and sedentary lifestyles linked to poorer eye health<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the Miranza study reveals a clear relationship between certain habits and the health and comfort people experience with their eyes. Almost 70% of people who regularly experience stress say they are reasonably satisfied with their vision, compared with 82% of those who say they do not suffer from stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A similar pattern can be seen with rest and sleep: 66% of those who say they do not get enough rest feel relatively comfortable with their eye health, compared with 80% of those who believe they get enough hours of sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Dr Federico Alonso, \u201cour current pace of life means that stress, lack of sleep, certain medications such as anti-anxiety drugs, and other stress-related problems can contribute to or worsen eye discomfort in some people\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alonso also points out that \u201cthe same trend can be seen with sedentary lifestyles: 70% of those who acknowledge having an overly sedentary lifestyle rate their eye health positively, compared with 81% of those who lead an active lifestyle. In all these cases, the assessment of eye health among those with less healthy habits is more than 10 points lower than among those who do take care of themselves\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/miranza.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/alonso-1024x666.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-437099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/miranza.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/alonso-1024x666.webp 1024w, https:\/\/miranza.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/alonso-300x195.webp 300w, https:\/\/miranza.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/alonso-768x500.webp 768w, https:\/\/miranza.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/alonso.webp 1122w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Dr Federico Alonso, Medical Director of Miranza Sevilla<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3\" style=\"color:#71cc98\"><strong>Myopia, astigmatism and presbyopia remain the leading eye problems<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/miranza.es\/en\/pathologies\/myopia\/\">Myopia<\/a> (38.6%), <a href=\"https:\/\/miranza.es\/en\/pathologies\/astigmatism\/\">astigmatism<\/a> (36%) and presbyopia (33.2%) remain the main eye conditions diagnosed among Spaniards. They are followed by <a href=\"https:\/\/miranza.es\/en\/pathologies\/hyperopia\/\">hyperopia<\/a> (13.5%), dry eye (7.6%) and <a href=\"https:\/\/miranza.es\/en\/cataracts-disease\/\">cataracts<\/a> (4.6%). Glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration are also moving up the ranking of diagnosed conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, having a diagnosis does not necessarily mean receiving treatment. According to data collected by Miranza, <strong>only 38% of people diagnosed with an eye condition are currently receiving treatment<\/strong>, four percentage points fewer than in 2025. Specialists believe this figure may be linked to another finding from the survey: only 41% believe that vision loss can be prevented, meaning that more than half consider it inevitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis lack of follow-up also occurs in a context of increasing incidence of severe conditions, such as AMD and glaucoma, as well as a high reliance on visual aids, particularly glasses. Some 73% of respondents use this type of visual aid, compared with 18% who wear contact lenses. Among those who use these aids, the perception of their eye health is poorer: 67% consider their eye health to be fair, good or excellent, compared with 97% of those who do not use visual aids\u201d, says Dr \u00cd\u00f1igo Corc\u00f3stegui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4\" style=\"color:#71cc98\"><strong>Dry eye remains one of the major treatment challenges<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Satisfaction with treatment varies significantly depending on the condition. While 77.5% of those who have undergone refractive surgery (for myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism) and 65.2% of those who have undergone cataract surgery report experiencing a clear improvement, this figure falls to 45.8% among those who have received treatment for dry eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This figure is particularly significant given that <strong>dry eye affects almost 30% of the population<\/strong>, making it one of the most common visual complaints, behind only blurred vision (34.4%), the sensation of loss of vision (33.1%) and light sensitivity (32.8%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5\" style=\"color:#71cc98\"><strong>Driving and reading on mobile phones among the main visual challenges<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to specialists, one of the factors that has most contributed to the increased incidence and severity of dry eye is the constant use of digital devices and the growing number of activities requiring near vision. <strong>The VI Bar\u00f3metro de Bienestar Ocular reveals that 51% of Spaniards carry out their daily activities at a distance of less than an arm\u2019s length<\/strong>, while 63% constantly use screen-based devices. These figures reflect the impact that new habits are having on eye health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Activities such as reading on a mobile phone and driving are among the main visual challenges. Some 51% of respondents say that their eyesight affects their ability to drive, while 43% say it affects their ability to work and 21% their ability to exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vision also has an impact on social relationships and emotional wellbeing. Some 67% say that their eyesight enables them to enjoy life more, while 23% acknowledge that it affects their ability to socialise. Meanwhile, 27% feel that their eyesight prevents them from being in control of what they do, 24% feel insecure and 22% feel dependent on others. In addition, 18% say that their vision affects their desire to leave the house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overall, we score 5.07 out of 10, the lowest result recorded across the six editions of the Barometer.
