To support future optometrists from across the U.S. and Canada, CooperVision recently conducted its 2025 Student Leadership Society Summit at its three major facilities in Rochester, N.Y. On World Optometry Day, nearly 50 members of CooperVision’s Student Contact Lens Leadership Society and Student Myopia Leadership Society participated, representing 26 schools and colleges of optometry.
Over the course of two days, attendees enhanced their clinical skills with hands-on toric and multifocal contact lens fitting workshops, building more confidence in prescribing lenses for patients with astigmatism and presbyopia. Other sessions emphasized the importance of using evidence-based treatments for the best vision correction and myopia management clinical outcomes, as well as offering insights into preparing for graduation and starting a career. Participants also received an in-person look at how contact lenses are made, packaged, warehoused and delivered during tours of CooperVision’s innovative made-to-order manufacturing and global distribution facilities in Scottsville and West Henrietta, N.Y.
“CooperVision is deeply committed to supporting the advancement of the optometry profession, including its future leaders,” said Tara Vaz, OD, Senior Manager, Professional and Academic Affairs. “The Student Leadership Society program and summit provide invaluable education, networking, and resources. Members serve as ambassadors, sharing new insights and lessons with student communities across the U.S. and Canada to enrich their campus experiences.”
CooperVision Student Leadership Society members are second- or third-year optometry students selected by faculty from each school to serve a one-year term. Over the course of the academic year, they are provided unique opportunities to advance their education. In addition to the educational summit, Student Leadership Society members receive a grant to attend the American Academy of Optometry annual meeting, and networking opportunities to learn from their peers and industry leaders.
