Coopervision has calculated that it will contribute up to US$500,000 to the Our Children’s Vision campaign from sales of MiSight, its contact lens that slows myopia progression in children.
For the past two years, the company has been donating a percentage of MiSight sales to the campaign, which is a global network of partners working to improve children’s eye health.
CEO of the Brien Holden Vision Institute Foundation and founder and manager of the Our Children’s Vision campaign, Yvette Waddell said: ‘The assistance we’re receiving from CooperVision will help us reach more children and provide greater access to eye health services in underserved communities, as well as help us advocate on behalf of a vulnerable demographic to ensure child eye health is integrated into country and education policies.’
