CooperVision has announced the members of its Student Contact Lens Leadership Society and Student Myopia Leadership Society for the 2025-2026 academic year.
These students, representing schools and colleges of optometry across the U.S. and Canada, will take part in educational and professional development opportunities throughout the year. This includes a program at CooperVision’s Rochester, N.Y. facilities, a travel grant to attend the American Academy of Optometry annual meeting, and networking with peers and industry leaders.
