Earlier this week, CooperVision USA led a nationwide media tour focused on raising awareness of childhood myopia—an important effort we’re proud to be part of! Our senior counselor, Maggie, supported the tour on site as healthcare experts, Dr. Coralys Vega (pediatrician), and Dr. Damaris Raymondi, (optometrist) emphasized the importance of early intervention and clinically proven options to slow myopic progression. Coordinating 26 interviews in 22 markets was no small feat, thank you to everyone involved! D S Simon Media
