How the Program Works

To obtain a supply of contact lenses from CooperVision, students and residents must have an eye examination and contact lens fitting at the school clinic. Upon completion of all necessary follow-up, they will obtain a valid contact lens prescription. At that time, they may order a complimentary 6-month supply of the prescribed CooperVision lenses per academic year. Students may only order one 6-month supply of any CooperVision brand. If they would like a 6-month supply of lenses in consecutive years, they must be fit for a different CooperVision product.

Complimentary contact lens supplies must be requested through the proper administrative channels at the school and then ordered directly from CooperVision. Orders should not be placed through the school’s contact lens distributor.

Who Is Eligible?

All optometry school students and residents are eligible for one 6-month supply annually of CooperVision contact lenses during each year of their optometric education. Faculty are not able to participate in this program.

Program participants are generally third- and fourth-year optometry students.

Application Process

Contact the school clinic administrators to schedule an eye examination and contact lens fitting appointment. Once the prescription is finalized and ready to order, complimentary lens orders must be placed via email at coopervisionorders@coopervision.com through the Contact Lens Department Administrator who is responsible for placing contact lens orders at each school.
