To make contact lens information and training resources widely available and easily accessible to eye care professionals (ECPs), CooperVision has launched its new ECP ViewpointsSM Online Success Center, a one-stop digital education platform. The center’s content can be utilized by everyone in a practice, from optometrists to technicians and staff, as well as optometry students and health care professionals.
The Online Success Center marks an especially significant step forward for CooperVision’s MiSight® 1 day ECP certification program. Increasing the accessibility of myopia and myopia control education aligns with the company’s commitment to advance myopia management as standard of care. Online Success Center users will have the option to become MiSight® certified, preparing them to fit the first soft contact lens FDA-approved* to slow the progression of myopia in children aged 8-12 at the initiation of treatment.†1

- Myopia Control: Training on MiSight® 1 day for myopia control in age-appropriate children to support myopia management as the standard of care.

“The pandemic changed the dynamic for how ECPs prefer to consume educational content, with a shift toward online, on-demand training—and it seems that is here to stay,” said Jennifer Palombi, OD, FAAO, Senior Manager of Professional Education and Development, CooperVision. “The ECP ViewpointsSM Online Success Center expands our suite of educational offerings to meet these evolving needs by delivering meaningful instruction for eye care providers who prefer to consume contact lens educational content at their own pace and on their own time.”
