CooperVision’s Online Success Center for Eye Care Professionals
To make contact lens information and training resources widely available and easily accessible to eye care professionals (ECPs), CooperVision created the ECP ViewpointsSM Online Success Center, a one-stop digital education platform. The center’s content can be utilized by everyone in a practice, from optometrists to technicians and staff, as well as optometry students and health care professionals.
The Online Success Center marks an especially significant step forward for CooperVision’s MiSight® 1 day ECP certification program. Increasing the accessibility of myopia and myopia control education aligns with the company’s commitment to advance myopia management as standard of care. Online Success Center users will have the option to become MiSight® certified, preparing them to fit the first soft contact lens FDA-approved* and clinically proven to slow the progression of myopia in children aged 8-12 at the initiation of treatment.†
Based on requests and feedback from ECPs, the Online Success Center features key focus areas:
- Myopia Control: Training in MiSight® 1 day for myopia control to support myopia management as the standard of care.
