Organizers of the 1st World Congress of Optometry have announced that Johnson & Johnson Vision Care Companies is to be the event’s headline sponsor. The Congress, organized by the World Council of Optometry (WCO) and the Colombian Federation of Optometrists (FEDOPTO), takes place 14 – 16 August 2015 in Medellin, Colombia.
