What CooperVision Specialty EyeCare does
CooperVision Specialty EyeCare, legally Procornea Nederland B.V., is a Dutch-headquartered medical device manufacturer of custom-made specialty contact lenses, operating as the specialty lens division of CooperVision within CooperCompanies (NYSE:COO). Founded in 1976 and based in Eerbeek, Netherlands, the company designs and produces a broad portfolio including ortho-k night lenses (DreamLite, DreamLite Zoom, DreamLite MC), rigid gas permeable lenses (Senso Select, Conicon, Flexi), custom soft silicone hydrogel lenses (BYO Premium, BYO AB, BYO Royal), scleral lenses (Senso Mini/Easy/Full Sclera), keratoconus-specific lenses (Senso KC, Senso KCQ), post-surgical lenses (Senso E Min), multifocal lenses (Senso Select Zoom/Duo), and pediatric myopia management products (MiSight 1 day daily disposables and SightGlass Vision spectacle lenses via JV with EssilorLuxottica).
The company commercializes proprietary lens technologies including ActivControl Technology (dual-focus concentric treatment zones in MiSight), Diffusion Optics Technology (micro-dot scattering spectacle lenses), AB-Technology (aberration-free optics), and ortho-k lens geometry, each backed by clinical evidence including the world's longest-running myopia control trials. Clinically documented efficacy includes approximately 50% reduction in myopia progression for MiSight 1 day, 59–63% for DreamLite MC, and 59% for SightGlass Vision spectacles. Order management and custom fitting are delivered through the VISAVY web-based platform, which integrates with corneal topographers and provides fluorescence simulation and lens recommendation capabilities.
CooperVision Specialty EyeCare generates revenue through B2B hardware sales of custom-manufactured contact lenses, distributed exclusively through a certified network of eye care professionals across more than 100 countries with a primary go-to-market focus on Benelux and broader EMEA. Distribution relies on a channel-partner model supported by a Professional Services team, professional training academy, certification programs (including the Myopie Management Expert program), and industry event presence. End-consumer pricing is set at the practitioner level based on prescription requirements and fitting complexity, with no publicly disclosed price list. Recent strategic activity includes acquisitions of EnsEyes (June 2022) and SynergEyes (November 2022), the SightGlass Vision joint venture (March 2022), the VISAVY platform relaunch (April 2023), and a merger with CooperVision (June 2023) to unify standard and specialty eye care under a single organization.
