ROCHESTER, N.Y. — CooperVision shared its plans to highlight myopia management at the 2025 BCLA Clinical Conference & Exhibition. The event runs from June 5-7 in Birmingham, England.
“Our participation in this year’s BCLA centers on helping people experience life’s beautiful moments through vision. That company-wide goal inspires our research teams and partners to pursue a deeper understanding of the human eye, innovative technologies to improve sight, and novel approaches that can help the clinical community meet the needs of current and prospective patients,” said Francis Erard, Vice President of Research & Development for CooperVision.
New Research
A global leader in myopia management,1 CooperVision-driven insights have been instrumental in shaping how the eye care profession addresses the issue. Professor Philip Morgan of Eurolens Research at the University of Manchester will present a new study that fitted myopia control spectacles with skin and ambient temperature sensors to precisely determine wearing times, which are associated with treatment efficacy. A number of demographic factors were determined to influence compliance to spectacle wear, with shorter wearing times observed among boys and children with lower refractive errors. These findings may support prescribing decisions, helping eye care professionals maximize myopia control potential among specific patient groups.
Abstracts of the complete CooperVision scientific program for BCLA 2025—including the 2025 BCLA Da Vinci Award-winning work designed and supported by CooperVision regarding contact lens type and blinking patterns on tear film stability and halos—are available at CooperVision BCLA 2025 .
In addition to its scientific presentations, CooperVision is also highlighting myopia management as part of its exhibition floor stand and through multiple company-led educational sessions. These include Professors Ian Flitcroft, Nicola Logan and Philip Morgan presenting “A Myopia Story to Tell” on the mainstage (Thursday, June 5, 12 pm BST). Additionally, CooperVision’s Paul Chamberlain and Elizabeth Lumb will present “Innovations in Myopia – Journey to Tomorrow” (Friday, June 6, 10: 30 am BST).
