what percentage of people wear glasses

According to the National Health Interview Survey conducted by the Census Bureau on behalf of the National Center for Health Statistics, about two-thirds of American adults wear some kind of glasses or contacts. The Vision Impact Institute research shows that 3 out of 4 people in the U.S. have vision correction, and of those people, 71% wear glasses. The percentage of people wearing corrective glasses or contacts changes drastically as people age. Only 59% of people ages 25-39 wear corrective lenses, while 93% of people between the ages of 65 and 75 wear corrective lenses. In 2019, 25.3% of children aged 2–17 years wore glasses or contact lenses, and the percentage increased with age among both boys and girls.
