We are growing globally.
CooperVision is a global industry leader and continues to expand. We call ourselves a small, large company, because while we’re one of the largest manufacturers of soft contact lenses in the world, we’ve never lost that entrepreneurial spirit that drives us.
Our contact lenses are manufactured on three continents and sold in over 130 countries.1 In 2019, as part of our commitment to global corporate citizenship, CooperVision and our parent organisation, CooperCompanies, joined major corporations, non-profit organisations and governments around the world in officially aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, a global framework and action plan to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity and peace for all by 2030.
As part of our global mission to improve vision for everyone, CooperVision is a lead sponsor of Optometry Giving Sight (OGS), a global initiative founded in 2003 to help the 1.22 billion people worldwide—including tens of millions of children—who are blind or vision impaired due to lack of access to eye examinations and appropriate refractive error correction.
Fundraising events at CooperVision sites around the world, a patient rebate programme, cause-related marketing campaigns and an annual company match of employee donations have generated over $3 million in contributions for OGS*.
CooperVision is a business unit of CooperCompanies, a leading, publicly traded global medical device company with over $2.5 billion revenues. Founded over six decades ago as a small, privately held health care firm, CooperCompanies today remains committed to developing products and services that help improve lives one person at a time.
