CLCS — Contact Lens & Cornea Section

CooperVision is one of the world's leading manufacturers of soft contact lenses, with a portfolio that includes the industry's broadest range of soft toric and soft multifocal lenses. Dedicated to enhancing the contact lens experience for practitioners and patients, CooperVision is a global innovator in contact lens design, material development and manufacturing.

CooperVision Products

New to CooperVision's growing number of silicone hydrogel contact lens designs, the company recently introduced Biofinity® Toric, a monthly silicone hydrogel lens that offers exceptional comfort, eye health, and vision quality. Utilizing the same material as Biofinity® Sphere, Biofinity Toric is Food and Drug Administration-approved for both daily and extended wear (for up to six nights). Within the last year, CooperVision also released Avaira®, a two-week silicone hydrogel lens.

These third-generation lenses feature CooperVision's unique Aquaform™ technology, which creates a naturally wettable lens material without the need for internal wetting agents or surface treatments. The lenses offer a combination of high water content, low modulus and high oxygen transmissibility that provides maximum comfort, optimal health and excellent performance.

Biofinity Toric is the latest addition to The CooperVision Total Toric Solution, which offers the widest range of toric products and parameters. Only CooperVision lets practitioners fit virtually any astigmatic patient with a portfolio that includes Proclear® Toric and Proclear® Toric XR. As part of the PC Hydrogel™ family of lenses, Proclear Toric and Proclear Toric XR offer the excellent resistance to dehydration and deposits that create outstanding comfort.

The CooperVision Total Multifocal Solution contains the industry's largest range of multifocal contact lenses and parameters, including: Biomedics® EP, Proclear® Multifocal and Proclear® Multifocal Toric. With sphere powers from +20.00D to -20.00D, cylinder powers up to -5.75 and add powers up to +4.00, practitioners can virtually fit all their presbyopic patients-from emerging to advanced.

For those interested in optimum health and ultimate convenience, CooperVision provides a 1-Day portfolio that include Proclear® 1-Day, ClearSight™ 1-Day, and ClearSight™ 1-Day Toric.

Practitioner Resources

CooperVision has created a number of online training and practice building resources aimed at increasing patient loyalty, reducing contact lens drop out and helping practitioners increase their contact lens businesses. Programs include:

  • CooperVision Online Learning Center-with this free resource, practitioners and staff receive high-quality contact lens training designed to develop knowledge and hone skills on a broad range of topics ranging from contact lens basics to fitting advanced lens designs.
  • CooperVision.tv-practitioners can direct their patients to these videos to help further their understanding of lens wear and care techniques. CooperVision.tv also explains the technologies behind CooperVision's contact lenses.
  • CooperDirect™ Shipping-to improve office efficiency and patient support, patients and practitioners can choose a delivery option that enables patients' lenses to be shipped directly to their homes.
  • Online Ordering and Customer Service Center-the MyCooperVision e-commerce site also features secure online ordering and access to shipment tracking, invoice lookup, payment history and product bank balances.
