CooperVision will present research at the 2026 Netherlands Contact Lens Congress that demonstrates how its evidence-based care and continuous innovation support clear, comfortable contact lens wear across every stage of life. The research highlights include studies on the transition from single vision to myopia control lenses, the performance of modern spherical lens designs, and the satisfaction rates of hydrogel and silicone hydrogel multifocal wearers.

Why it matters

As a leading global contact lens manufacturer, CooperVision's research aims to help eye care professionals better understand and address the evolving vision needs of patients from their first contact lens experience through presbyopia. The findings provide insights that can guide prescribing patterns and patient management to improve long-term wearer satisfaction.

The details

The research includes an investigator-initiated study that examines the transition from a single vision contact lens to the dual focus design of MiSight® 1 day for myopia control, finding that young adults report comparable vision quality and comfort within six months. Another paper validates that modern spherical contact lens designs continue to meet the everyday needs of new and experienced wearers. Additional CooperVision-supported research explores opportunities for more proactive presbyopia fitting as well as the satisfaction rates of hydrogel and silicone hydrogel multifocal wearers.

  • The Netherlands Contact Lens Congress takes place March 8-9, 2026 in Veldhoven, Netherlands.
