Myopia lead role created at CooperVision

CooperVision has appointed Dr Rajeev Garg to the newly created role of global head of myopia management strategy.

The role will see Garg lead on initiatives such as market development, acquisitions and joint ventures, technology licensing, and lifecycle management.

Garg joined CooperVision from Bausch + Lomb where he held the role of executive director of surgical marketing and prior to that worked in senior marketing roles at Johnson & Johnson.

Dr Juan Carlos Aragon, president of specialty eye care at CooperVision, said: ‘Continuing to advance myopia management requires expanded investment in science and technology, as well as adding to an already strong team of visionary, experienced and passionate people. Garg’s proven expertise will be invaluable as we pioneer new techniques, introduce new products, and establish new collaborations to address the global myopia epidemic.’
