J & J Vision Care to be Headline Sponsor of 1st World Congress of Optometry

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. It will be the first global event to encompass all aspects of optometry in order to share knowledge, explore clinical and technological innovation and establish an agreed holistic policy for the sector and for the future of accessible eye health care.

Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, part of the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies, is committed to transforming the world’s vision. This commitment is reflected in the work of its Vision Care Institute, which offers accessible, state-of-the-art education and training for eye healthcare professionals and makes a tangible contribution to raising standards within the eye healthcare sector.
