"CooperVision received FDA-approval of the MiSight 1 day contact lens on Nov. 15, 2019, making the United States our 18th market worldwide. This reinforced CooperVision as a leader in the myopia management category," said Daniel G. McBride, President of CooperVision. "In this particular moment in time, with so many children learning virtually and spending less time outdoors, the topic of myopia management is more relevant than ever before. As category creators and leaders in the myopia management sector, we believe it is our responsibility and privilege, alongside the optometric community, to educate parents and offer them tools to help their children who may be struggling with myopia. Our decision to make this sizable investment in educating parents is consistent with our view that addressing myopia early is vitally important."
This new, multichannel direct-to-consumer advertising campaign featuring Gellar will highlight the importance of annual comprehensive eye exams in monitoring the progression of myopia in children. The campaign will include national and regional broadcast segments, content across digital and social media, and influencers who will be sharing their personal experiences with myopia. In addition, CooperVision will be collaborating with the National Association of School Nurses(NASN) to engage in meaningful unbranded conversations about myopia with the organization's members. While the NASN does not endorse products, school nurses are often the first to observe the signs of myopia in affected children and are therefore important myopia management advocates.
"My husband and I are both nearsighted and our myopia has continued to worsen over time," said Gellar. "We want our kids to have a chance for better vision and lower their risk for future eye health issues. While regular eyeglasses or contacts help children see a whiteboard or tennis ball today, MiSight 1 day lenses offer children the benefits of clear vision while slowing myopia progression during their growing years*. That is why I am thrilled to be partnering with CooperVision on this campaign."
"CooperVision has always been committed to eye health innovation," said Jerry Warner,Executive Vice President, Americas and Global Commercial Functions of CooperVision. "The goal of this campaign is to help build awareness of the short and long term effects of myopia. More than just vision correction, CooperVision's myopia management program can help build a brilliant future for our children."
