As a former member of the U.S. Armed Services, I understand and appreciate the unique demands placed on our military personnel and their families, John Weber, president, CooperVision said. I am excited for the launch of the new website as it will make it easier and more affordable for military patients to experience the performance and value of CooperVision’s contact lenses.
