CooperVision will provide U.S. eyecare professionals with complimentary contact lens refills to extend to these health care heroes. Through the program, essential hospital workers may receive one box of CooperVision contact lenses for each eye, including all 1-day, 2-week and monthly brands that the company manufactures, such as clariti 1 day, MyDay, Biofinity, Avaira and Proclear brands. They must be presently working at a hospital in the U.S. to fight COVID-19, and a current contact lens prescription is required.
