Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) partnered with Naomi Watts on Dec. 3, 2025 to promote eye exams as part of self-care for people over 40. A new global survey found 82% of Americans say clear vision supports confidence, yet 48% of those over 40 who think they need vision correction haven't seen an eye care professional in the past year. The release highlights presbyopia (begins ~age 40), cataracts, and that an annual eye exam can detect 270+ health conditions. The campaign urges routine comprehensive eye exams, modern corrective options, and talking to a doctor to preserve vision and independence.
