What is
Myopia?
Myopia, also known as near-sightedness or short-sightedness, is a disease that makes distant objects appear blurry.3 It can interfere with children’s quality of life, making it harder for them to participate in school, sports, or other daily activities.4,5 Myopia can progress rapidly, particularly in younger children, so it is important to start treatment as soon as it is diagnosed.6

¥ Plastic neutrality is established by purchasing credits from Plastic Bank. A credit represents the collection and conversion of one kilogram of plastic that may reach or be destined for waterways. CooperVision purchases credits equal to the weight of plastic in our contact lens orders in a specified time period. Contact lens plastic is determined by the weight of plastic in the blister, the lens and the secondary (outer carton) package, including laminates, adhesives, and auxiliary inputs (e.g. ink).
