Give Brightly – Soft Contact Lenses

How the Program Works

While in clinic, optometry students and residents are encouraged to support a deserving patient from their community through this program, fit them with CooperVision® contact lenses, and provide appropriate follow-up care. Each student or resident is allocated one complimentary annual supply of contact lenses from CooperVision for this purpose. CooperVision imposes no patient eligibility requirements; the school is responsible for determining patient eligibility.

Application Process

VSP has partnered with CooperVision to provide financial assistance that covers the clinic fees of patients selected for this program.

Lenses can be ordered by sending an e-mail to coopervisionorders@coopervision.com with the subject line ‘GBP-[school name].’ It is important to order all Give Brightly lenses through coopervisionorders@coopervision.com in order to avoid being invoiced for the lenses.

Program Dates

The program is open year-round. Each student is allowed to select one patient during their third and fourth year of optometry school. Optometry residents can select one patient during their residency.
