(PRESS RELEASE) For its partnership in advancing the education of future eye care professionals, The Ohio State University (OSU) College of Optometry has awarded CooperVision the Neal J. Bailey Optometry Medal for Development. The award—presented this week at OSU’s 2025 Visionary Appreciation Event—recognizes CooperVision’s support of educational opportunities for students, including funding for a new eye care clinic.
Opened in late 2020, The Ohio State’s Optometry Clinic is a six-story facility featuring 56 exam rooms and an optical shop. The clinic offers services including primary vision care, dry eye treatment, vision therapy, and contact lens services. Students provide patients with soft contact lens fittings for the correction of myopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia, as well as myopia management with MiSight 1 day.
“CooperVision is dedicated to supporting eye care professionals at every stage of their careers, including students who are only just beginning. We appreciate the opportunity to help OSU enhance the education of their students, ensuring they have experience with the latest contact lens technologies from day one in practice,” said Steve Rosinski, OD, Senior Manager, Professional and Academic Affairs, CooperVision. “We are honored to receive the Neal J. Bailey Optometry Medal for Development and look forward to our continued partnership with OSU.”
